ndofood CBP Sukses Makmur, the instant noodle unit of publicly listed food giant Indofood, is providing free rides for thousands of Indomie food stalls vendors across the capital to return to their hometowns for Idul Fitri.
The company, widely known for instant noodle brand Indomie, dispatched 11,302 noodle stall owners on Saturday using 198 buses to several parts of Java as part of the company's social responsibility program.
As well as in Jakarta, the company also provided free bus rides to several cites in Java such as Bandung in West Java, Semarang in Central Java and Malang in East Java from June 29 to July 2.
"Idul Fitri is a special time, so we want all of the food stalls' owners, who are our loyal partners, to safely arrive in their hometowns," Indofood CBP director Taufik Wiraatmadja said during the dispatch of the travelers in Ancol, North Jakarta, on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Wahyu Hidayat, an owner of an Indomie food stall, said he welcomed the service, adding that it was the 16th year he had returned to his hometown of Kuningan, West Java, facilitated by the company. (vny/rin)
