JAKARTA - There is good news ahead of the 2026 Indonesian Independence Day. PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) provides a 17 percent discount on commercial economy trains in order to celebrate the 81st anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia on August 17, 2026.
"On Independence Day, KAI wants more people to enjoy traveling by train and celebrate togetherness as a nation," said Public Relations Manager of Jakarta Railway Station 1 Franoto Wibowo in an official statement received in Jakarta, Wednesday.
Franoto said that promo tickets can be purchased starting August 14, 2026 at 00.01 WIB until August 17, 2026 at 24.00 WIB, specifically for departures on August 17, 2026 at 00.01 to 24.00 WIB.
