JAKARTA - Passengers of the Whoosh High Speed Train show an increasing trend along with the increasing mobility of the community ahead of Christmas and New Year holidays.

The increase was reflected on Friday, December 19, 2025, where the number of Whoosh passengers was recorded at 22,523 people.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, December 20, 2025, the number of Whoosh tickets that have been sold reached 10,000 tickets and this figure still has the potential to continue to increase as the sales process is still ongoing ahead of the peak of the year-end holiday rush.

KCIC Corporate Secretary General Eva Chairunisa said that this surge began to be seen since the weekend, in line with the start of the holiday travel period.

"Entering the end-of-year holiday period, we see a significant increase in the number of Whoosh passengers who use fast train services for more efficient and comfortable travel," said Eva Chairunisa, Saturday, December 20.

Based on the departure data per station yesterday, Halim Station recorded the highest number of passengers with 11,966 passengers, followed by Padalarang Station with 7,739 passengers, Tegalluar Station with 2,267 passengers, and Karawang Station with 551 passengers.

In terms of travel relations, the Halim-Padalarang route is the favorite route with 8,737 passengers, followed by the Padalarang-Halim route with 7,548 passengers, reflecting the high mobility of the community between Jakarta and Bandung during the year-end holiday period.

To anticipate an increase in the number of passengers during the Christmas and New Year Transportation period, continued Eva, KCIC also prepared support for officers throughout the Whoosh service.

A total of 530 security officers were deployed and spread across all stations and train lines, which is a combination of KCIC's internal security personnel, TNI, and Polri.

In addition, KCIC has assigned 688 service officers at station areas and within the train series to ensure the smooth travel of passengers, including flight attendants, conductors, cleaning staff, platform staff, ticket office staff, and Passenger Service Mobile.

"In addition to optimizing operational readiness and services, we also urge passengers to arrange travel time well, arrive early at the station, and pay attention that gate access will be closed 5 minutes before the departure schedule to maintain aspects of safety and punctuality of travel," said Eva.
