JAKARTA - PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI recorded that as many as 1.7 million travel tickets for the Lebaran 2025 homecoming period had been sold out of the total seats provided 4.5 million.
KAI's VP of Public Relations, Anne Purba, said the amount was based on data until March 7, 2025 at 07.00 WIB in the morning. He explained that this number continued to grow over the time of the opening of the ticket.
"Well, this is the update on March 7 at 7 this morning, a total of 4.5 million tickets have been prepared, then some have sold more than 1.7 (million). Surely this afternoon it has also moved for ticket sales," said Anne, at KAI Jakarta Railway Center, Jakarta, Friday, March 7.
The details, continued Anne, the long-distance train tickets that have been sold reached 1,685,183 tickets. Meanwhile, for local trains as many as 25,275 tickets. So that the total train tickets that have been sold have reached 1,710,458 tickets.
Anne explained that the low number of local train tickets sold was due to the ticket sales policy.
"This local train is only H-30, some have just sold H-7 for ticket sales. So until now the total is 1.7 million that have been sold," he said.
KAI Does Not Lower Ticket Prices
PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI has opened its voice about train ticket rates that did not experience a price decline, such as airplanes during the peak season for Eid Al-Fitr 2025.
KAI's EVP of Corporate Secretary Raden Agus Dwinanto Budiadji said the reason was because KAI never raised train rates on peak season or peak traffic during Eid homecoming and return.

"If you ask why the train doesn't lower the tariff? Yes, because we don't increase the tariff either," said Raden when met at the KAI Jakarta Railway Center, Gambir, Jakarta, Friday, March 7.
Moreover, continued Raden, the services available on trains are more economic class, both public service obligation (PSO) and commercial services. Thus, train fares are still considered affordable.
"Because if we look at our class, we won almost 60 percent of the economic class, yes, although part of it is commercial, as well as PSO. So the increase in this segment will not change much compared to usual weekends," he explained.
