1. Key Points: Land Transportation

- Dock Redirection: Merak Port will focus on private cars and buses, while motorcycles and trucks will be directed to Ciwandan/Bojonegara Ports.
- Single Tariff: ASDP will implement a uniform tariff (no executive class) for the Merak-Bakauheni crossing to speed up the boarding process.

WFA Recommendation to Reduce Traffic
The current Minister of Transportation, Dudy Purwagandhi, suggests that government agencies and private companies implement Work From Anywhere (WFA) policies on March 16–17 and March 25–27, 2026. This policy aims to encourage the public to depart earlier or return later to avoid peak traffic jams.
The public is urged to monitor the latest traffic updates through the Jasa Marga app (Travoy), ensure both physical health and vehicle conditions are optimal, and obey all traffic signs and officer directions for collective safety.
