Enhanced Capacity for Holiday Travel

The Indonesian government is set to launch an expanded free 'mudik' (homecoming) program for the Christmas 2025 and New Year 2026 (Nataru) period. The initiative, which will be coordinated by the Ministry of Transportation, State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), and the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, promises to offer a larger quota than the previous year.

Government Commitment to Safe Travel

Wakil Menteri Perhubungan (Wamenhub) Suntana emphasized that the program aims to facilitate safe and comfortable travel for citizens returning to their hometowns during the holiday season. The government's commitment to enhancing transportation services during peak periods demonstrates its focus on supporting citizens' needs while ensuring their safety.

Collaborative Effort

The free 'mudik' program is a collaborative effort involving multiple stakeholders. The Ministry of Transportation, various State-Owned Enterprises, and the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government are working together to make this initiative a success. This collaboration underscores the government's proactive approach to managing the challenges associated with the Nataru period.
