JAKARTA - KCIC noted that today was the peak of the return flow of the year-end holidays on the Whoosh Fast Train service. Until this afternoon, the Whoosh tickets that have been sold reached around 11,000 tickets. This number will still increase until the last departure.
KCIC Corporate Secretary General Eva Chairunisa said that of the total tickets sold, about 72 percent were passengers traveling from Bandung to Jakarta, both departing from Padalarang Station and Summarecon Tegalluar Station.
Eva said the high percentage of passengers from Bandung showed a strong return flow after people took advantage of the year-end holidays to travel in Greater Bandung.
"This increase in passenger movement occurs in conjunction with the resumption of school and community work activities on January 5, 2026," Eva said in an official statement, Sunday, January 4.
KCIC predicts that the volume of Whoosh passengers today will increase by about 15 to 20 percent compared to normal days, due to the high mobility needs of the community during the return flow.
To support the smooth flow of travel, KCIC appeals to the public who will travel back to immediately purchase tickets through the Whoosh application, the ticket.kcic.co.id website, and other official KCIC ticket sales partners, to obtain seat confirmation before arriving at the station.
In addition, passengers are also urged to arrive at the station at least 30 minutes before the departure schedule of Whoosh and feeder train services, so as not to miss the train journey.
KCIC also recommends that passengers use the feeder train service from Bandung Station and Cimahi Station to Padalarang Station. The feeder train service is free for Whoosh passengers who have a ticket to Halim.
"KA feeder has an integrated schedule with Whoosh departure, so it can help passengers avoid potential congestion on the highway during the backflow period," concluded Eva.
