PT Pertamina (Persero) organized a program called “Mudik Gratis Pertamina 2025” to facilitate 5,000 homebound travelers (pemudik) for Eid al-Fitr to reunite with their families in various regions. 121 buses departed from Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) in Jakarta to 23 destinations in West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta, and East Java on Tuesday (25/3/2025).
Increased Quota and Overwhelming Response
-
This year, the number of travelers facilitated by Pertamina increased by 25% from 4,000 in 2024 to 5,000 in 2025.
