PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - Bandung Mayor Muhammad Farhan opened the 1447 Hijriah Free Homecoming program by providing 250 seats to five destination cities for residents who register from 24/2/2026 to 6/3/2026.

The Bandung City Government has prepared five bus fleets with a capacity of 50 seats per vehicle for the Surabaya, Yogyakarta north route, Yogyakarta south route, Cirebon, and Tasikmalaya–Banjar routes.

Residents register directly at the Asia-Africa Pedestrian Bridge by bringing a photocopy of their Bandung City Resident Card or proof of employment or domicile.

Participants are also required to attach a photocopy of their Family Card and show their original identity when re-registering on the day of departure.

The committee will check identities and tickets before departure to ensure data is correct and prevent quota misuse.

Departure is scheduled for March 17, 2026 at 15.00 WIB from Bandung City Hall to provide certainty of time for prospective travelers.

This program helps low-income residents return home safely without transportation costs ahead of Eid al-Fitr.

Farhan said that this facility is a real solution so that people can celebrate Eid with their families without the burden of travel costs.

"We're introducing this program to help residents gather with their families safely and comfortably," said Farhan. (Bandung City Communications and Information Office/bhf)
