JAKARTA - The moment of the Prophet Muhammad's birthday this year coincides with the long holiday weekend. Many people use it for short homecoming, pilgrimages, or just vacationing with their families.
This surge in mobility has made a number of modes of transportation prepare strategies to keep travel smooth, including PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI).
PT KAI Operational Area (Daop) 3 Cirebon, West Java, provides 2,560 additional tickets to anticipate the high number of passengers during the long holiday period of the Prophet's Birthday 1447 Hijri.
Public Relations Manager of PT KAI Daop 3 Cirebon, Muhibbuddin, explained that the extra tickets were allocated to the Gunung Jati Train (Semarang Tawang Gambir 'Cirebon' Relations) and Cakrabuana Trains (Purwokerto's Gambir Relations). This additional ticket provision is our effort to meet the needs of customers traveling during the long weekend," he said in Cirebon, as quoted by ANTARA.
