inp.polri.go.id – Jakarta. A total of 160,143 travelers returned from Sumatra Island to Java Island via Bakauheni Port, Lampung. This figure has only reached 40% of the total travelers who crossed a few days ago. The Head of Public Relations (Kabid Humas) of the Lampung Police, Commissioner Zahwani Pandra Arsyad SH., M.Sc., said that the total number of vehicles registered to depart from Bakauheni Port to date is 38,945 vehicles. "The number of passengers boarding from Bakauheni Port is 160,143 people," said Kabid Humas of the Lampung Police when contacted, on Sunday (08/05/22). Kabid Humas of the Lampung Police stated that of the 38,945 vehicles, 18,071 of them were two-wheeled vehicles. Meanwhile, a total of 19,752 are four-wheeled vehicles. There were also 538 buses and 584 trucks that also boarded the ship from Bakauheni Port. Based on data from the Ministry of Transportation, from Tuesday (3/5) to Saturday (7/5) only 364,673 travelers returned to Java via Bakauheni. Meanwhile, based on the data from the Ministry of Transportation, the total number of passengers departing from Merak to Sumatra from D-10 to D-Day of Eid is 894,063 people. This means that currently it is only about 40.78% of travelers have returned to Java via Bakauheni Port. To anticipate the density of vehicles, the government asks the public to reschedule their return to avoid the peak time of the return flow. Budi emphasized that the government would provide relaxation by allowing workers to take leave after May 8, 2022 and allowing children to go to online schools. PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) Corporate Secretary, Shelvy Arifin, reminded people who were going home by ship to buy tickets online. He said there were no more ticket sales at the port. "Make sure travelers to buy ferry tickets only on the website & application, ferzy.com or at official ASDP partners, such as Indomaret, Alfamaret, BRILink Agents and Finpay Agents. And to ensure ticket availability and expedite service at the port, make sure you have purchased tickets for at least a day or maximum 60 days before departure," said Shelvy.
