Dengan adanya perubahan itu, sejumlah antisipasi sudah dipersiapkan pihak ASDP di antaranya, pengaturan lokasi dan pemisahan antara kendaraan roda dua dengan roda empat. Sebelumnya, tidak ada pemisahan jenis kendaraan, akibatnya pada lebaran tahun lalu terjadi antrean yang panjang di sepanjang Jl Kalimas Surabaya. “Untuk kendaraan roda dua ditempatkan di lokasi terminal Bus Damri. Ini dilakukan agar tidak terjadi penumpukan dan antrean panjang di sepanjang Jl Kalimas Surabaya,” paparnya.
Selain itu, sekitar 18 armada kapal Ferry sudah disiapkan mengantispasi lonjakan pemudik. Lonjakan arus mudik tidak hanya terjadi pada arus penumpang saja, bahkan kendaraan juga mengalami peningkatan yang besar.
Berdasarkan data yang dihimpun ASDP, mulai H-7 hingga H-1, jumlah kendaraan roda dua yang menyeberang di Ujung sebanyak 69.440 kendaraan. Sedangkan tahun lalu hanya berjumlah 69.196 kendaraan. Berbeda dengan jumlah arus mudik dari Kamal, sedikit mengalami penurunan dibanding tahun sebelumnya. Tahun ini, kendaraan roda dua yang menyeberangan di Kamal berjumlah 23.851 kendaraan. Sedangkan 2006 lalu sebanyak 25.096 kendaraan.
Sementara itu, untuk roda empat, tahun ini yang menyeberang di Ujung terhitung mulai H-7 hingga H-1 berjumlah 21.418 kendaraan. Sedangkan tahun 2006 lalu hanya 21.087 kendaraan. Sebaliknya di penyeberangan Kamal, tahun ini berjumlah 14.416 kendaraan dibanding tahun 2006 yang hanya 14.154 kendaraan.
Memasuki H ke 2 pada hari ini Minggu (14/10), arus mudik di Penyeberangan masih terus terjadi.

Diyan memprediksi, puncak arus balik Lebaran tahun ini terjadi pada H+6 dan H+7. Alasannya, sebelum H+7 sebagian besar masyarakat Madura masih merayakan tradisi ketupatan di daerahnya. “Setelah merayakan Ketupatan, biasanya mereka langsung kembali,” katanya. *(ris)
