Mudik Gratis dengan Pertamina: Pemudik Ingin Ikut Lagi Karena Fasilitasnya Lengkap!

PT Pertamina (Persero) organized a program called “Mudik Gratis Pertamina 2025,” enabling 5,000 homecoming travelers (pemudik) to celebrate Eid al-Fitr in their hometowns. On Tuesday (25/3), 121 buses departed from Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) in Jakarta to 23 destinations across West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta, and East Java. This year, the number of facilitated travelers increased by 25% from 2024, rising from 4,000 to 5,000 individuals. The initiative was well-received by the community, as evidenced by the swift exhaustion of travel tickets shortly after registration opened on March 10.

Participant Experiences:

• Fetty’s Journey: Fetty, a traveler from Bekasi, West Java, heading to Tegal, Central Java, shared her experience of successfully registering for the program through a friend’s recommendation. She expressed gratitude for the excellent service upon arrival at the departure site, where her belongings were promptly assisted, and she was warmly welcomed.

• Retna’s Feedback: Retna from Tangerang, traveling to Yogyakarta, learned about the program from her family. Impressed by the first-class facilities, including well-maintained buses and comprehensive services before departure, she conveyed her intention to join again in the future, noting that Pertamina’s program stood out compared to previous travel experiences.

Message from the Director:

PT Pertamina’s President Director, Simon Aloysius Mantiri, engaged with the travelers before their journey, emphasizing safety and wishing them a smooth trip to their destinations. The annual “Harmoni Merangkai Energi” initiative reflects the company’s appreciation for the community and Pertamina employees.

Safety Measures and Amenities:

• Facilities at Departure: In addition to diverse services such as lactation rooms, prayer rooms (musala), children’s play areas, massage corners, hair cutting services, health checks, entertainment, charging stations, and photo booths, Pertamina provided participants with the opportunity to receive souvenirs, door prizes, and a grand prize.

• Insurance and Health Checks: Participants were covered by life insurance from PertaLife and travel insurance from PT Asuransi Tugu Pratama Indonesia Tbk (Tugu Insurance), a subsidiary of Pertamina. All vehicles and drivers underwent thorough health and safety inspections to ensure the travelers’ well-being during the journey.
