JAKARTA - PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) has set the 2026 Lebaran Transportation period to take place from March 11 to April 1, 2026.
Since the sale opened on February 15, 2026, the total ticket booking continues to show a significant figure, namely until February 16, 2026 at 10.00 WIB, the total tickets that have been sold for departure from March 11 to April 1, 2026 reached 1,398,369 tickets.
KAI's Vice President of Corporate Communication, Anne Purba, said that all departure schedules during that period were available and could be booked through the Access by KAI application and other official channels.
"Until now, both regular and additional train tickets can be booked through the Access by KAI application and other official channels. We urge the public to immediately plan their trip so that they can choose the schedule and relationship according to their needs," Anne said in a statement, Monday, February 16.
Anne said this figure is still potentially increasing because the booking process continues to be dynamic, while seat availability on a number of dates and relationships is still available.
Meanwhile, several dates recorded high transactions, including the departure on March 24, 2026 with 102,827 tickets, followed by March 23, 2026 with 99,921 tickets, March 19, 2026 with 95,331 tickets, and March 18, 2026 with 92,248 tickets.

Anne added that the sales trend showed the public's increasing enthusiasm ahead of the Lebaran period.
He said KAI periodically monitors sales developments to maintain consistency between transport capacity, operational safety, and customer comfort during travel.
"For customers who have not obtained tickets on their preferred route, we suggest considering alternative departure dates, either earlier or after the planned day. The connecting train scheme can also be an option to reach the destination city through a combination of available trips," explained Anne.
In addition, the government provides a tariff reduction incentive of 30 percent for travel on March 14-29, 2026, and this policy is expected to maintain people's purchasing power while supporting the smooth national mobility during the Lebaran period.
Anne said that following up on this policy, KAI carried out the assignment of the 2026 Eid al-Fitr Transportation with a focus on the readiness of facilities, operational smoothness, and customer service.
He added that KAI urged the public to purchase tickets through official channels, such as the Access by KAI application, the kai.id website, and official sales partners, to ensure the security of transactions.
"This weekend's momentum can be used to discuss with family, determine the best date, and choose the most suitable travel route. With early planning, the 2026 Eid journey can be carried out calmly, safely, and comfortably," concluded Anne.
