IPCC SENDS PEOPLE LONGING TO RETURN TO HOMETOWN IN THE 2026

Jakarta, March 16, 2026. The joy and enthusiasm of prospective travelers filled the Tanjung Priok Port Buffer Area as the 2026 Pelindo Group Joint Mudik program officially kicked off. On this occasion, PT Indonesia Kendaraan Terminal Tbk (IDX: IPCC) dispatched 300 travelers through the Pelindo Group's Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) Free Mudik Bersama Program, covering the Jakarta-Solo and Jakarta-Yogyakarta routes, including return services from both cities. To support the smooth running of this program, IPCC has prepared six buses to transport travelers to their hometowns and facilitate their return journey to Jakarta after the Eid al-Fitr celebrations. This departure momentum marks the beginning of the period of community mobility leading up to Eid al-Fitr, an annual tradition for Indonesians.

Overall, the 2026 Pelindo Group Mudik Bersama program dispatched more than 7,000 participants with the support of 73 units of high-standard safety and comfort tourism buses, which served various travel routes to a number of destination cities in Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi. This program is a form of collaboration between entities within the Pelindo Group in providing a safe, orderly, and comfortable homecoming trip for the community. The series of Mudik Bersama activities began on February 19, 2026 through an online registration process open to the general public, and closed on March 6, 2026. Public enthusiasm for this program was again evident from the high interest of registrants, as was the case in previous years. Participants are scheduled to depart on March 16, 2026, while the return flow schedule has been prepared for March 27, 2026 to ensure the return trip takes place in an orderly and well-organized manner.

More than just providing transportation, this program represents the company's commitment to providing inclusive and equitable mobility access for the community. For some travelers, the journey home is not just about covering hundreds of kilometers, but also brings the hope of reuniting with their beloved families on a meaningful day. Through an open registration mechanism accessible to the general public, IPCC ensures equal opportunities for all levels of society, regardless of social or economic background, to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with their families back home. "This program reflects the IPCC's ongoing commitment to creating tangible social value for the community. At the same time, we also want to ensure that public mobility during the homecoming period can proceed in an orderly and safe manner, while providing inclusive access for those in need," said Endah Dwi Liesly, IPCC Corporate Secretary.

All homecoming participants departed using land transportation modes that have met safety and operational feasibility standards, as evidenced by the technical inspection process and roadworthiness certification of the entire bus fleet used, and all drivers are required to be Fit to Work (urine test, drug-free and sufficient rest time). In addition, operational coordination is also carried out intensively with the Pelindo Group to ensure that the entire journey can run smoothly, safely, and comfortably until they arrive at their destination. As part of the implementation of Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL), this program also strengthens the company's role in creating sustainable social impacts. The approach carried out is not only oriented towards the aspect of transportation assistance alone, but also prioritizes the principles of diversity, equality, and inclusivity by ensuring that the benefits of the program can be felt widely by the community.

From a sustainable development perspective, the Mudik Bersama program contributes to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:

• SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being, by providing safe and standardized transportation to reduce the risk of accidents during the mudik period.
• SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities, by providing inclusive access to mudik travel for people from various economic backgrounds.
• SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities, by supporting more orderly and organized community mobility during the mudik and return periods.
• SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals, through collaboration between entities within the Pelindo Group to deliver broader social benefits to the community.

In addition to helping alleviate the burden of travel costs, this program also aligns with the government's efforts to reduce traffic congestion and reduce the potential risk of accidents during the Eid homecoming (mudik) period. Through this initiative, the IPCC emphasizes that the company's sustainability concept is reflected not only in its business and operational performance, but also in how the company is able to create social added value that is inclusive, equitable, and has a broad impact on society.

The 2026 Pelindo Group Mudik Bersama Program serves various travel routes, including Jakarta–Solo, Jakarta–Surabaya, Jakarta–Semarang, Jakarta–Yogyakarta, Jakarta–Purwokerto, Surabaya–Madiun, Surabaya–Trenggalek, Surabaya–Jember, Makassar–Palopo, Makassar–Soroako, Medan–Aceh, Medan–Pekanbaru, and Medan–Padang.

Ayu Ningsih (53), one of the IPCC homecoming participants bound for Solo, also expressed her gratitude. She explained that the program facilitates people who wish to return home without the burden of travel costs, which typically increase around Eid. "This program is very helpful for those of us who wish to return home without having to worry about the significant travel costs ahead of Eid. Last year, I postponed my family homecoming trip in the hope of participating in the free homecoming program, and thank God, this year it was a success. Thank you to the IPCC and Pelindo Group for facilitating our return home and celebrating Eid with our families," she said.

Through participation in the 2026 Joint Homecoming Program between BUMN and Pelindo Group, IPCC hopes to continue to provide tangible benefits to the community while supporting the creation of a safer, more orderly, and more comfortable homecoming journey, so that travelers can arrive home safely and celebrate Eid al-Fitr with their families happily.
