JAKARTA - President Director of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI, Didiek Hartantyo, said that his party did not provide direct train or direct train services without transit during the Eid 2025 homecoming period.
Didiek said the decision was based on the results of the evaluation of the provision of direct train services during the 2024 Christmas and 2025 New Year (Nataru) holidays.
"However, after the evaluation, commercially and commercially, there is no adjantage. So that in the meantime we will not do it again," he said at a press conference at the Ministry of SOEs Office, Jakarta, Wednesday, January 22.
For your information, during the Nataru holiday, KAI provides direct train services with two travel routes, namely Gambir-Yogyakarta PP and Gambir-Semarang Tawang PP.
Commercially, continued Didiek, commercially, there is no profit from the direct train travel trial.
"So the time with the Minister of Transportation and Mr. Erick is the time we try. So we use it for the duration of Nataru transportation. But commercially evaluation, and the commercial aspect is not an improvement, yes," said Didiek.
