Comprehensive Traffic Management Measures

Indonesian transportation infrastructure is implementing extensive preparations for the 2025/2026 New Year holiday period. Major state-owned enterprises have announced comprehensive readiness measures to handle the anticipated surge in travel.

Toll Road Preparations

The traffic was monitored through four main toll gates: GT Cikupa (toward Merak), GT Ciawi (toward Puncak), GT Cikampek Utama (toward Trans Jawa), and GT Kalihurip Utama (toward Bandung) ³

. Specifically, 229,535 vehicles traveled toward Trans Jawa through GT Cikampek Utama, marking a 31.1% increase from normal traffic ¹. To manage this surge, JTT (PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol) has activated 37 toll booths at GT Cikampek Utama - 19 booths for Trans Jawa direction and 18 booths for Jakarta direction ¹.

Airport Capacity and Services

PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia (InJourney Airports) is preparing for an expected 10 million passengers across its 37 managed airports during the Nataru period ²
