Kendaraan terjebak kemacetan panjang di jalan tol Jakarta-Cikampek dari kilometer 33 hingga kilometer 60 pada H+1 Lebaran, Senin (26/6). Kemacetan diduga karena mobilitas masyarakat untuk berilaturahim dan liburan ditambah mereka yang baru berangkat mudik setelah Lebaran.
Idul Fitri has just passed. The most noticeable signs of this are the abandoned streets in the middle of Jakarta and entertainment venues crowded with visitors.
The homecoming is a ritual for most Indonesian people. The celebration of Idul Fitri is marked by the busiest travel time of the year. The ritual involves gathering with the family and enjoying the typical food of each region, while showing off one’s success in life away from home.
