Long Weekend Holiday: Odd-even Traffic Scheme Applied on ... - Tempo.co English

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Bogor Police is implementing the odd-even traffic scheme on the Puncak tourism line, Bogor, West Java, from Wednesday afternoon until Sunday (June 4, 2023).

"Starting this afternoon, we are implementing the odd-even system until Sunday," Bogor Police Traffic Unit's Head of Operation Development Affairs First Inspector Ardian Novianto said on Wednesday.

The odd-even traffic control scheme has been applied on the route connecting Bogor district with Cianjur district due to the long weekend, he explained.

The commemoration of Pancasila will fall on June 1, followed by Vesak Day on June 3–4, and the government has decided to set collective leave on Friday (June 2).

"In accordance with Ministerial Regulation No. 84 of 2021, the odd-even system in the Puncak tourism area has been implemented one day before the national holiday," he said.

Novianto predicted that the peak of the vehicle volume during the long holiday momentum will be recorded on June 2.

However, he said that if there is a significant increase in vehicle volume, police will apply the one-way scheme by looking at the situation.

"Congestion is likely from Friday afternoon until evening, but we will look at the situation. We will apply one-way if it is congested," he added.

Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno on Monday (May 29) said that the long weekend from June 1–4 is expected to support the goals of the Nusantara tourist movement.

"We hope this holiday can increase the movement of domestic tourists. Later, we will report (the total number of movements), but I predict that the target of achieving 1.4 billion tourist movements in the first half of 2023 will be achieved," he added.

In the Greater Jakarta area, apart from Puncak, some popular destinations include Lembang, Pangandaran, and Ciwidey in West Java as well as Ragunan Zoo and Ancol in the city of Jakarta.

China says it will resume issuing passports for tourism in another big step away from anti-virus controls that isolated the country for almost three years, setting up a potential flood of Chinese going abroad for next month’s Lunar New Year holiday. The announcement Tuesday adds to abrupt changes that are rolling back some of the world’s strictest anti-virus controls as President Xi Jinping’s government tries to reverse an economic slump. Rules that confined millions of people to their homes kept China’s infection rate low but fueled public frustration and crushed economic growth.

CNN  —  This past weekend, I had one of the most unusual experiences of my life: a day of air travel that was easy, sensible, efficient — dare I say pleasant. Passengers and airport staff alike were friendly and polite. The airplane seat offered enough room for both of my legs and both of my arms. We took off on time and landed early. My shoes stayed on the whole time I was at the airport. Jill Filipovic Courtesy of Jill Filipovic It was a reminder of what travel could be. It was also in Johannesburg, South Africa, not in the US, and happened under a particular set of circumstances — a domestic flight on the Saturday afternoon of a long holiday weekend when most travelers had already reached their destinations.
