"A number of train trips have reached 100 percent for departures from West to East on certain days ahead of Eid-days such as Argo Bromo Anggrek, Argo Wilis, Taksaka, Brantas, and others," said Joni.

So far, continued Joni, the people's favorite routes during the Eid Transport period are Jakarta-Surabaya, Jakarta-Solo, Bandung-Blitar, Jakarta-Purwokerto, Jakarta-Malang, and other relations.

"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 Access by KAI application which will help provide travel options by combining a connecting train schedule," he said.

Furthermore, Joni also said that KAI continues to make the latest innovations to improve services to passengers, one of which is by implementing a queue system when purchasing long-distance train tickets.

Joni explained that the queue system feature or waiting room is an online queue system applied by KAI to the Access by KAI application and the booking.kai.id website when booking tickets to regulate ticket booking flow in a more organized manner, especially during high booking traffic.

"This feature helps ensure that websites and apps remain stable and users can order tickets more fairly and regularly," he explained.
