This Free Homecoming program is routinely held by the Jakarta Provincial Government every year to help people return to their hometowns more safely and comfortably.

"Reduce the risk of traffic accidents for travelers who usually use motorcycles," he added.

He continued that the motorcycles that were sent in advance can then be used by their owners when they are in their hometowns, especially to support mobility to visit family.

For the returning flow, all motorcycles are scheduled to depart from their destination cities on March 25 to Jakarta and arrive back at Pulo Gadung Terminal.

"The number of motorcycles participating in this program increased by around 22 percent compared to 2025, which only reached 300 units," he continued.

"Hopefully all travelers can reach their hometowns safely and return to Jakarta in good health," he hoped.
