Jakarta. BNI has sent off over 7,000 travelers as part of the free homecoming program provided by Indonesia's state-owned enterprises.

The state-run bank alongside other companies sent a total of 1,500 travelers in the send-off ceremony in Jakarta's Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) Ring Road.

BNI Deputy Director Alexandra Askandar said that the program was part of the company's contribution to supporting public mobility ahead of Eid al-Fitr.

"Through the  Mudik Gratis BUMN 2026 [State-Owned Enterprises Free Homecoming Program], BNI wants to make it easier for people to return to their hometowns safely and comfortably. This program also demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that people can celebrate Eid with their beloved families," Alexandra said.

BNI also operates other departure points: BNI Region 10 in Gatot Subroto, Central Jakarta; BNI Region 12 on Jalan Lada, West Jakarta; BNI Region 14 at Plaza BNI BSD, South Tangerang; and BNI Region 15 in the Jatinegara area, East Jakarta.

Travelers departed on five main routes: Jakarta–Purwokerto, Jakarta–Semarang, Jakarta–Yogyakarta (via Solo), Jakarta–Surabaya, and Jakarta–Malang (via Surabaya). All trips will take the Cikampek Toll Road and the Trans Java Toll Road, with exit points adjusted to their destination cities.

Travelers also received homecoming equipment packages distributed on March 14 at Grha BNI, Jakarta.

Registration was open from Feb. 27-March 9. There was also a re-registration phase on March 12-13.

"BNI hopes that travelers will arrive safely at their hometowns and be able to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with their families happily," Alexandra said.
