The government appealed to the public to take leave and make earlier homebound journeys and organize their homecoming plans properly to avoid severe traffic jams.

Infrastructure development for the Greater Jakarta LRT is entering its final phase as the mass public transportation service sets to become the best choice for people to avoid congestion in Jakarta and surrounding areas.

Traffic in Jakarta is crowded or severely congested every day during rush hours, when leaving home and returning home. Traffic jams increased by more than 50 percent compared to the period before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jakarta is increasingly getting jam-packed. This condition has lately been felt by residents. The fading fear of the COVID-19 pandemic makes life return to normal.

A few hours after the traffic control system was enforced, the traffic flow on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road was relatively smooth.

The Government has acknowledged that many travelers are following the government's advice to return to their hometowns early. However, the possible traffic congestion during the peak of mudik travel must be anticipated.

Severe traffic jam on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road is expected to last until April next year, as a result of the development of the Jakarta-Cikampek elevated toll road, the Jabodebek light rail transit and the Jakarta-Bandung high speed railway.

The operational ban on trucks during the Idul Fitri exodus, starting from June 12, may potentially worsen traffic along Java’s northern coastal route from June 9 to 10. Meanwhile, on Java’s southern coastal route, bridge constructions pose a challenge.
