Fahira Idris Advises Jakartans to Join Free Homecoming Program

After two years not holding free homecoming due to pandemic, this year the Jakarta Government finally launches a Free Homecoming Program for its residents. The program would be really helpful for residents who want to stay in touch with their relatives in hometown, especially in celebrating Eid al-Fitr.

Even, residents can travel to hometown using public transportation while still being able to bring their motorbikes

Jakarta DPD RI Member from Jakarta Electoral District (Dapil) Fahira Idris appreciated the Government for holding the homecoming program this year. It was not only helping residents affected by pandemic, but also increase people's awareness to prefer taking public transportation rather than private vehicles.

"I hope residents can take advantage of this free homecoming program. Be sure to comply with health protocols because the pandemic is not over yet. I hope Jakartans who intend to travel by motorbikes can join the program because trucks are also alerted to carry motorbikes for travelers," she expressed, Monday (4/18).

She assessed that it was an effective solution to reduce congestion and reduce accidents during the homecoming. So far, many homecomers from Jakarta traveled by motorbike since it was needed to visit their relatives in hometown.

"Even, residents can travel to hometown using public transportation while still being able to bring their motorbikes. I guess it is a concrete solution from the government. Once again, I advise Jakartans to take advantage of this opportunity. I never tire of reminding all of us to always comply with health protocols when traveling and visiting relatives in the hometown. Hopefully, we all can stay healthy and safe," she stated.
