JAKARTA - The second day after Eid, the number of backflows of long-distance train passengers (KAJJ) arriving in the Daop 1 Jakarta area reached 42 thousand passengers on Tuesday, April 25.

"The majority of passengers arriving in Jakarta are from Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Semarang, Solo, Purwokerto, Kutoarjo and Malang," said Head of Public Relations of KAI Daop 1 Jakarta, Eva Chairunisa, Tuesday, April 25.

Based on the data collected, as many as sixteen thousand two hundred passengers disembarked at Pasar Senen Station. Meanwhile, sixteen thousand passengers got off at Gambir Station. Then four thousand other passengers got off at Bekasi Station and four thousand four hundred passengers got off at Jatinegara Station and the rest of the passengers got off at Jakarta Kota Station, Cikarang, Karawang to Cikampek.

"This number has increased by up to 2 times from normal times," he said.

KAI Daop 1 Jakarta also adds to the availability of seats in the waiting area for passengers during the return flow of homecoming. It is hoped that passengers who have just arrived and waited for the pick-up will not stand and place items in certain areas that can disturb other passengers at the station.

A number of Costumer Service Mobile (CSM) officers were also prepared to serve information and regulate the flow of prospective passengers who had just arrived.

"Additional officers for vehicle control are also prepared at a number of points in the station parking area. In terms of security and safety, Daop 1 Jakarta is also working with the TNI and Polri to secure all vital objects during the Eid transportation period," he said.

Cooperation with Basarnas and 45 hospital providers is also carried out to accelerate the handling of emergency conditions. All service users arriving in the Daop 1 area of Jakarta are advised to re-examine their luggage.
