Earlier, Secretary General of Transportation Ministry Djoko Sasono estimated there will be several homecoming peaks this year considering the government added the joint leave of Eid al-Fitr for seven days starting June 11-14 and 18-20, 2018.
“The survey showed that the homecoming peak will occur on Saturday, and also on 2-3 days ahead of Eid,” said Djoko Sasono on Saturday, June 9.
