Home Coming Eid Fitri In Indonesia
Travelers gather at the Pondok Pinang shadow bus station in Jakarta, Indonesia, on March 18, 2026, during the peak of the 2026 Eid al-Fitr Mudik season. An estimated 143.9 million people are traveling nationwide this week, making Jakarta's unofficial transit points critical bottlenecks as residents seek seats on intercity buses. Despite government efforts to stagger departures, vehicle volumes leaving the capital are expected to reach their highest point today, with major routes toward Sumatra and Central Java experiencing heavy traffic.
