Indonesia's Annual 'Mudik' Exodus
Police personnel are seen on the traffic guards during the Eid Mubarak 1446 Hijri 'Mudik,' or homecoming, in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia, on March 28, 2025. Indonesian authorities prepare for the annual homecoming exodus, as 146 million people--over half of the population--travel home for Eid al-Fitr. Officials expect the peak travel day to be Friday, with 12 million people on the road. Approximately 33 million travelers use private cars, 25 million take buses, and 23 million rely on trains, according to the transportation ministry. To manage the surge in travel, over 164,000 security and transport personnel are deployed across nearly 3,000 locations. (Photo by Sutanta Aditya/NurPhoto)
