JAKARTA - PT Kereta Api Indonesia has implemented a Train Travel Graph (Gapeka) 2025 starting February 1, causing the travel schedule for a number of trains to change, including the Siliwangi train related to Sukabumi-Cipat.

This was said by the Public Relations Manager of KAI for Operational Areas (Daop) 2 Bandung, Ayep Hanapi when contacted in Cianjur, West Java, Sunday, saying that prospective train passengers planning to travel from February 1 onwards to check the arrival and departure time of KA Siliwangi.

"The schedule for departures every day is six times and the first from Sukabumi to Cipat will start at 5.15 WIB, while the last trip from Cipat to Sukabumi at 19.30 WIB, please look at the latest schedule on the official website www.kai.id," he said, as quoted by ANTARA.
