The tickets sold were for train departures in the period 12 to 3 May 2023.

VP of Public Relations Joni Martinus said that the period before Lebaran was dominated by passengers from the West, such as Jakarta or Bandung towards the East, such as Central Java and East Java.

"For the period after Lebaran, passengers from the East, such as Central Java or East Java, are dominated by passengers heading towards Jakarta and Bandung," he wrote in a statement to the media, Saturday, April 8.
