JAKARTA - PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC) has prepared 48 train trips that can carry 28,000 passengers per day during the Vesak holiday period May 23-24, 2024.

Dia menambahkan pada periode tersebut, KCIC tetap menjual tiket dengan skema dynamic pricing' atau tarikan dinami dengan menawarkan harga lebih hemat pada periode perjalanan tertentu.

"Welcoming this long holiday period, KCIC applies a dynamic tariff scheme where train rates adjust departure days and hours to selected routes. Passengers can get the cheapest tariff of IDR 150 thousand at certain hours," said Eva.

According to him, with the implementation of the dynamic rate scheme, passengers get the flexibility to choose the schedule according to the desired rate.

"The implementation of this dynamic tariff scheme has also succeeded in attracting passengers to take advantage of thelush high-speed train as a mode of transportation option either on weekdays or holiday moments," he said.

Eva added, for people who will spend a long holiday during the Vesak period, they can take advantage of theASH high-speed train service to shorten the Jakarta-Bandung travel time or vice versa.

"KCIC is ready to provide the best service for the convenience of all passengers during this long holiday this weekend," he said.

Eva reminded prospective passengers to arrange for the sale time to go to the station so as not to experience delays.

"Passengers are expected to arrive at least 30 minutes before the scheduled departure. This is because the boarding gate will be closed five minutes before departure for passenger safety reasons," said Eva.
