The Indonesian government has allocated Rp1.54 trillion (approximately $100 million USD) to subsidize public transportation fares during the 2026 school holiday period, as well as the 2026/2027 Christmas and New Year holidays. The program aims to encourage travel and stimulate the tourism sector during peak seasons. Discounts of up to 30% will be offered on various modes of public transport. Officials anticipate the initiative will ease the financial burden on travelers and boost economic activity. The stimulus package is intended to support increased domestic tourism and facilitate smoother travel experiences for citizens. Further details regarding eligible transportation options and discount implementation will be announced shortly. The government hopes this measure will alleviate congestion and promote the use of public transportation.
