"Today was the peak of the holiday reverse flow, and tomorrow people are going back to work. But we will keep anticipating the [traffic] until the end of the year," he added.

The chief of Bogor Resort Police Police Grand Commissioner Adjutant Wahyu Anggoro said his side will implement the odd-even traffic policy throughout the Christmas and New Year holiday period.
