JAKARTA - PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) operates 1,340 Long-distance trains during the long weekend period or the long Eid al-Adha 2023 holiday from 27 June to 2 July. There were 18 additional train trips compared to the previous week.

Trains that are added to their journey are the Argo Parahyangan train on the Gambir-Bandung pp route; Manahan train on the Gambir-Solo Balapan pp route; Pandalungan train on the Gambir-Jember pp route; Sancaka train on the Yogyakarta-Surabaya Gubeng pp route and Kaligung train on the Semarang Poncol-Cirebon Prujakan pp route.

KAI's VP of Public Relations Joni Martinus said the additional frequency of train travel was aimed at anticipating an increase in customer volume during the long weekend holiday at the moment of Eid al-Adha.

"The increase in the number of train trips is part of KAI's commitment to improve services to customers, especially during high seasons like this long weekend," said Joni in his statement, Friday, June 23.

Based on observations on Friday, June 23, the total long-distance train tickets sold for Tuesday 27 June to Sunday 2 July were 437,350 tickets or an average of 72,892 tickets per day.

"The total number is still 58 percent of the total long-distance train tickets sold as many as 750,669 tickets," he explained.

KAI hopes that people who have planned to travel during the long weekend period of Eid al-Adha and do not yet have tickets, immediately buy them either through the KAI Access application, the Kai.id website, or other channels in collaboration with KAI.

"If the desired ticket runs out, the customer can select an alternative date and route or take advantage of the Connecting Train feature in the KAI Access application which will help provide travel options by combining a connecting train schedule," he said.

Joni added that so far the favorite route for the community in the long weekend period is Jakarta-Surabaya pp; Jakarta-Bandung pp; Jakarta - Purwokerto pp; Jakarta-Solo pp; Yogyakarta-Banyuwangi pp and other relations.

"In providing rail transportation, especially during the long weekend period, KAI ensures that people will be safe and free from congestion on the highway. So that vacation moments with family or friends can be enjoyed by customers comfortably and comfortably," concluded Joni.
