KCIC Adds 12 Train Trips Per Day During The Eid Homecoming Period

BANDUNG - PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC) has added to the journey of the Goody Train to 52 trips every day during the 2024 Eid transportation period.

General Manager of KCIC Corporate Secretary, Eva Chairunisa said, KCIC has set a period of transportation for Lebaran from April 3 to 18, 2024.

During that period KCIC will operate as many as 40 regularASH trips and 12 additional trips.

"This increase in the number of trips is an anticipation of KCIC against the potential surge in passengers which often occurs as during the previous long holiday period," Eva said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, April 4.

Eva said, with the increase in the travel schedule, the time between the Fast Trains was up to 25 minutes during peak hours.

Hostsh itself will operate from 06.40 WIB to 20.30 WIB for the Halim - Tegalluar relation and from 05.50 WIB to 20.30 WIB for the Tegalluar - Halim relationship.

"This allows passengers to have more options to choose the travel schedule according to their needs," he said.

According to him, based on observations to date, the date that people are favorites is starting from D-5 Lebaran departure, April 5 onwards.

He added that tickets that had been sold on favorite dates and hours had reached above 80 percent. This number will continue to change with regard to ongoing ticket sales.

"We want to provide everything we can to improve services to passengers. In the midst of the high mobility of the community during this Eid holiday period, various additional services are expected to make passenger travel more comfortable," said Eva.

In addition, said Eva, the addition of the travel schedule for the HIGH Speed Train was also balanced with the addition of a Feeder Train travel schedule by KAI to Bandung and Cimahi.

"KCIC has also coordinated with all other intermodal operators to meet the passenger's continued transportation needs from MAYH Station to various other destinations," he said.
