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:
