EARLIER school holidays for students and a work-from-anywhere (WFA) policy for civil servants have contributed to an earlier mudik (exodus) ahead of the Aidilfitri holiday in 2025, as suggested by data compiled by the authorities.
A recent survey by Indonesia’s transportation ministry has estimated that 146.48 million people will make their homebound journeys in 2025, with the peak of mudik flow expected to occur on March 28, or three days before the Aidilfitri holiday on March 31.
