Inp.polri.go.id - Yogyakarta.  Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi supported extending the work-from-anywhere (WFA) policy for civil servants until 8  April 2025 to reduce congestion during the return phase of the 2025 Eid travel season.

“On 3 April 2025, we still observed a rise in outbound travel. Based on our evaluation, return traffic is likely to be high,” he said on Saturday (5/4/2025), as reported by antaranews.com.

He believed WFA allows travelers to return gradually, easing pressure on roads and terminals. 

The extension, initially set for 3 to 5 April 2025, was announced by Minister of Administrative Reform Minister Rini Widyantini and now runs through Tuesday.

Minister Dudy said the final number of travelers cannot yet be determined, noting that the ministry’s main focus remains on ensuring safe and smooth transport operations.
