TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Celebrating the holiday of Easter Celebration which coincides with weekend, Jakartans and residents from surrounding areas are going home to their hometowns, as reported by Antara News.
As a result, several terminals were packed with passengers. One of those terminals is the Tanjung Priok Terminal, North Jakarta, where surge of passengers had happened since Thursday evening and Friday morning.
Tanjung Priok Terminal Head, Alfred Hutapea, informed that the amount of passengers for every weekend is about 1,750 people. But last night, the number increased to 2,500 people. "We predict the surge of passengers coming for about 30 percent. If needed, we'll prepare additional buses," he stated.
Besides inner-city buses, Hutapea added, Tanjung Priok Terminal also provides intercity-interprovince (AKAP) buses heading to various destinations, such as Purwokerto, Malang, Madura, Rangkas, Merak, Bandung, and Bogor. "The amount of passengers increasing significantly only happens to buses heading Rangkas Bitung. Other destinations were not too significant," he uttered.
