REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The Transportation Department (Dinhub) of Cilacap Regency, Central Java, predicts the number of settlers who could potentially enter the Cilacap region in the momentum of Lebaran 2024 will reach 893,270 people. Of these, 30 percent are estimated to enter the Cilacap region through the South West Link Line (JLSS) of Central Java, now known as Lantai Selatan 9 (Pansela) Jateng.

For the rest, it is predicted to remain through the Jateng South Line, both from the direction of Bandung, West Java, and from the direction of the Pantura Jateng Line. “Based on the results of the coordination meeting with the province yesterday, the number of settlers who will enter the Central Java region reached the range of 18.23 million people, while the potential immigrants to Cilacap is only 4.93 percent or 893,270 people,” said DinHub Head of Cilacap Karyanto in Cilacap on Wednesday (3/4/2024).

He estimated that travelers passing through the southbound lanes had an increase from Lebaran last year. “Because now the road conditions between Jetis, Cilacap Regency, to Karangbolong, Kebumen Regency, are good,” he said.

In fact, he said, the volume of vehicles passing through the pansela lane is expected to increase in H2 Lebaran to H+1 Lebaran as the activity of people to meet and travel increases. In this regard, he continued, along the pansela path there are many tourist attractions that people always visit when the momentum spreads.

“Once after the levee, it was incredible it (the flow of vehicles) towards the beaches and so on. If it's right, the homecoming flow can be almost simultaneous, but for the average backflow it can be managed,” Karyanto said.

Earlier, the Head of the Traffic Unit (Satlantas) of the City Resort Police (Polresta) of Cilacap Police Commissioner Nunung Farmadi was aware of the possibility of congestion on the JLSS or the pansela line during the flow of traffic (reverse). “This line passes through coastal tourist destinations such as Adipala, Widarapayung, and Jetis. So there is a meeting between the counter-current and the flow of people who travel after the leaflets,” he said in Cilacap, Thursday (14/3/2024).
