JAKARTA - PT KAI Daop 4 Semarang, Central Java, recorded a high number of passengers traveling by train during the Easter holiday period from April 3 to 5, 2026 from various stations in the region.
"For three days, the number of passengers who came and went at various stations reached 139,477 people," said PT KAI Daop 4 Semarang Public Relations Manager Luqman Arif in Semarang, Sunday.
The number is likely to increase considering the possibility of new passengers buying tickets shortly before departure.
For the departure of KA on Sunday from various stations in the Semarang Daop area, the level of KA seat occupancy is only around 84 percent of the total 56,000 available tickets.
He said that every day 33 long-distance train trips operate to serve passenger travel.
According to him, a number of long-distance trains in the economy class are still the favorite choice of passengers to travel during the Easter holiday.
Some of the economic class trains that are the choice of passengers include the Kedung Sepur train, the Ambarawa Express train, the Kamandaka train, the Ciremai train, and the Gunung Jati train.
He explained that the high number of train passengers during the Easter holiday also had an impact on the increase in tourist visits in various areas in the North of Central Java.
"The increase in the number of train customers during the long holiday is expected to have a positive impact on various tourist destinations in the destination area," he said.
