Tangerang, Banten [B2B] - Menteri Perhubungan [Menhub] Budi Karya Sumadi mengatakan akan mengusulkan kebijakan bekerja dari rumah/work from home [WFH] kepada Presiden Joko Widodo [Jokowi] untuk mencegah dampak buruk akibat kepadatan lalu lintas saat arus balik Lebaran.

“Saya kemarin sudah memutuskan rekomendasi [WFH] bersama Pak Menko dan Kakorlantas,” ucapnya  seusai mengecek kesiapan arus balik lebaran di Bandara Soekarno-Hatta, Tangerang, Banten, Jumat [12/4].

Menurutnya, kebijakan WFH tersebut perlu diberlakukan sebagai mencegah terjadinya kepadatan lalu lintas [lalin] kendaraan arus balik di momen yang bersamaan.

"Saya sudah rapat dengan Jasamarga, memang pulangnya [arus balik lebaran] akan naik dibandingkan keberangkatan. Tapi saya bilang itu perlu diantisipasi sebagai mencegah dampak buruknya," ucap Budi.

Budi menambahkan, untuk puncak arus balik Lebaran 2024 diprediksi bakal terjadi pada H+4 atau Minggu [14/4] dan H+5 atau Senin [15/4].

Kendati demikian, pihaknya pun meminta kepada masyarakat yang telah melaksanakan pulang kampung agar kembali ke Jakarta lebih awal sebelum puncak arus balik Lebaran.

“Kalau lusa atau Senin tidak janji, karena ini kemungkinan akan padat terutama di jalur darat. Saya anjurkan mudik balik itu harus besok jangan Minggu atau Senin,” ungkapnya.

Budi juga memastikan telah melakukan berbagai langkah dan upaya secara maksimal untuk melayani masyarakat selama angkutan arus mudik maupun balik Lebaran di semua lintas moda transportasi.

"Secara detail bagaimana mengatasi arus balik itu sudah kita siapkan dengan baik. Kalau di jalur udara atau laut praktis bisa dikendalikan," kata dia.


Tangerang of Banten [B2B] - Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi said that the work from home (WFH) policy needs to be implemented to prevent negative impacts due to traffic congestion during Eid backflow.

"I have had a meeting with Jasamarga, indeed the return (Eid return flow) will be higher compared to departures. But I said that needs to be anticipated to prevent the bad impacts," said Budi after checking the readiness of the Eid return flow at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Tangerang, Banten, Friday (12/4).

According to him, the WFH policy needs to be implemented to prevent traffic congestion (traffic) of backflow vehicles at the same time.

"We´ve had a lot of holidays so far, if we only take holidays for Indonesia it won´t be productive, but this is the President´s prerogative to straighten out this WFH recommendation," he said as reported by Antara.

He admitted that his party had discussed the WFH recommendation and submitted it to President Jokowi. Budi hopes that the president can approve the proposal.

"Yesterday I decided on the recommendation (WFH) together with the Coordinating Minister and Kakorlantas," he said.

Budi added that the peak return flow for Eid 2024 is predicted to occur on H+4 or Sunday (14/4) and H+5 or Monday (15/4).

Nevertheless, his party also asked the people who had returned to their hometowns to return to Jakarta early before the peak of the Eid backflow.

"We can´t promise the day after tomorrow or Monday, because it will likely be busy, especially on land routes. "I recommend that you return home tomorrow, not Sunday or Monday," he said.

Budi also ensured that he had taken various steps and maximum efforts to serve the community during the Eid homecoming and returning transportation in all modes of transportation.

"In detail, we have prepared well how to deal with backflow. If it is by air or sea, it can be practically controlled," he said.
