"Massive Eid Homecoming: Over 190 Million Indonesians Brave Gridlock and Embrace High-Speed Travel"

Indonesia is expecting its largest-ever Eid homecoming as over 190 million people are projected to travel to their hometowns to celebrate the Eid al-Fitr festival, marking the end of Ramadan. This mass movement, known as "mudik," sees millions of Indonesians leaving urban centers for rural areas, with thousands filling bus and train stations in Jakarta. The exodus is a tradition in the world's most populous Muslim-majority country, and the Transportation Ministry anticipates a significant increase in travelers compared to last year.
