Peak flow predicted for April 18

The Traffic Corps (Korlantas) of the National Police predicts the peak of the Lebaran homecoming flow in 2023.

According to Dirgakkum Korlantas Polri Brigadier General Pol Aan Suhanan, the peak of the 2023 homecoming flow occurred from April 18 to 21 or H-1 Idulfitri 1444 H.

"This prediction arose after the proposal to advance the Lebaran joint leave from April 19, 2023," Aan said, quoted from the page humas.polri.go.id, Tuesday (28/3/2023).

Because of this, Aan said, his party would anticipate the movement starting on the evening of April 18.

"There will be an increase until the 21st or H-1 for those whose Eid is on the 22nd. Those whose Eid is on the 21st will return home before the 21st," he explained.

In addition to the peak of the homecoming flow, the Korlantas Polri also predicts that the peak of the 2023 Lebaran return flow will occur in two waves.

"There are two waves of possibilities for the return flow. Because May 1 is a red date holiday," said Aan.

"The first wave of backflow will likely occur on April 25," he concluded.

For information, the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) predicts that the number of people who will travel to Lebaran homecoming in 2023 will reach 123 million people.

Head of Advocacy and Community Affairs of the Indonesian Transportation Society (MTI), Djoko Setijowarno said, of this number, it was dominated by travelers who used private vehicles.

"The largest choice of mode is still using private cars as much as 22.07 percent or 27.32 million people, and motorbikes 20.30 percent or 25.13 million people," Djoko said in his statement as quoted by Indonesia Window. GridOto.com, Monday (13/03/2023).

Meanwhile, those who choose to use other vehicles, such as buses are predicted to be 22.77 million, trains as many as 14.47 million people, and rental cars 9.53 million people.
