The Number Of Long-distance Train Passengers On The Second Day Of Eid Is Still High

Solo - The number of long-distance train passengers (KA) for Solo, Central Java, on the second day of Lebaran, Thursday, April 11, was still quite high. Public Relations Manager of PT KAI Daop 6 Krisbiyantoro, in Solo, Thursday, said that the number of long-distance train passengers who disembarked at Solobalapan Station reached 4,478 passengers, while those who rose reached 3,552 passengers.

In addition, from Purwosari Station, there were 1,471 passengers who boarded and 1,435 passengers who got off. At Solo Jebres Station, there were 765 passengers who boarded and 623 passengers who got off.

"PT KAI estimates that the request for train tickets for the 2024 Eid backflow until April 21, 2024 will still be high. Therefore, the public is asked to plan a good trip so as not to run out of tickets," said Krisbiyantoro.

However, until now there are still seats in several initial departure trains, especially in the range of April 12-21, 2024. Several Solo connection trains that still provide passenger tickets include Argo Lawu Train (KA 7) Solobalapan-Gambir relation with departure date April 18-21, Argo Lawu Luxury train Solobalapan-Gambir connection on April 12-14 and April 17-21, Argo Dwipangga train Solobalapan-Gambir relation on April 19-21, and Argo Dwipangga Luxury train Solobalapan-Gambir relation with departures on April 12, 14, 16, and 18-21 April 2024.

In the face of the surge in demand for Lebaran return tickets, PT KAI has strengthened ticket sales services online and offline, as well as ensured the availability of additional services for passengers. However, careful travel planning is still recommended to avoid delays and other obstacles during the Eid backflow season.
