JAKARTA - PT Kereta Api (Persero) or KAI noted that long-distance train tickets have been sold for the 2023 Christmas and 2024 New Year (Nataru) periods of 526,677 or 25 percent of the total seats provided, namely 2.2 million.

Ticket purchases at the station counters are only available for train departures starting 3 hours or going show.
