"To accommodate the high mobility of the community in that period, KAI provides a total of 821,167 seats for long-distance train trips from 17 to 21 April 2025," he said in an official statement, Wednesday, April 16.

Anne said that until Wednesday, April 16, 2025 at 08.00 WIB, KAI noted that 427,670 customers had booked tickets.

"This number will certainly continue to increase because sales are still ongoing and the enthusiasm of people who want to take advantage of this long weekend," he said.

Of these, continued Anne, 332,037 customers chose the economy class, 86,758 customers chose the executive class, and 6,989 customers booked tickets in business class. Premium services also note high interest from customers.

One of the favorite services is the Train Suite Class Partment, which provides private space for each customer. Of the 320 seats provided during the Easter period, 301 have been sold," explained Anne.

Anne said the Suite Class Partment service offers maximum privacy with only 16 exclusive spaces on one train. Passengers can enjoy a comfortable journey with complete facilities in a calm and personal atmosphere.

In addition, KAI also recorded an order of 1,264 tickets in the Luxury class, showing people's interest in a comfortable, calm, and classy travel experience.

On average, KAI serves around 165,000 customers per day during this Easter holiday period. The peak of departure is predicted to occur on Thursday, April 17 and Saturday, April 19 as many people take advantage of leave for holidays or return home.

Anne said favorite routes remain on the main route such as Jakarta-Surabaya, Jakarta-Yogyakarta, Bandung-Surabaya, Jakarta-Semarang to Jakarta-Solo Balapan. Not only for holidays, but also for family visits and religious activities.

"We continue to maintain service quality, starting from train cleaning, officers' readiness, to digital innovation through the Access by KAI application. We want customer travel to remain fun from start to finish," said Anne.

KAI also appealed to customers to come earlier to the station, given the potential for road density that tends to occur during the long holiday. Tickets are still available on various official KAI channels such as Access by KAI and other platforms both online and offline.

"For those who haven't had a day off during Eid, this Easter is an opportunity to take a break. KAI is ready to take customers to enjoy quality time with their families and loved ones," concluded Anne.
