Head of Jakarta Transportation Office Udar Pristono urged Jakartans not to travel by motorcycles to their hometowns for Idul Fitri celebration because it endangers their lives.
“Please go by public transportation means,” Pristono said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com on Sunday.
Even though there is no written prohibition on the use of motorcycles, Pristono said that his office will cooperate with the police in maintaining order during the annual exodus in which most Jakartans usually return to their hometowns to ask for forgiveness from their parents and other elder relatives.
Many motorists have fatally fallen victims to traffic accidents during the exodus.
Pristono further said that in order to anticipate a surge in the number of passengers during the Ramadan fasting month and Idul Fitri, his office has prepared 6,114 inter-city/province buses.
“We have prepared all, including railway trains and airplanes,” he added.
