SURABAYA - KAI Commuter has engineered the pattern of service operations for a number of local train trips or Commuter Line. One of them is KA Arrangement (432) for the Blitar connection to Surabaya City which only stopped at Tanggulangin Sidoarjo Station due to the drop of the Pandalungan train. "We apologize for the cancellation of part of the Commuter Line Penataran KA (432) relation for the purpose of Sidoarjo – Surabaya City today. We continue to coordinate with KAI Daop 8 Surabaya during the evacuation of the Pandalungan train and efforts to normalize the rail line at Tanggulangin Station," said VP Corporate Secretary of KAI Commuter Anne Purba in a statement in Surabaya, Antara, Sunday, January 14. In addition, his party also engineered a pattern of Commuter Line travel operations that would pass at the scene. "For all Commuter Line trips from the direction of Surabaya for the direction of Sidorajo - Pasuruan / Malang – Blitar, such as Commuter Line Penataran and Commuter Line Supas, the trip is only up to Sidoarjo Station to return to Surabaya, while the Commuter Line Tumpel travel service is cancelled," he said. Meanwhile, he continued, the Commuter Line trip from Malang to Sidoarjo and Surabaya, such as the Commuter Line Penataran, only arrived at Bangil Station to return to Malang, while the Commuter Line Supas (Pasuruan-Sidoarjo) was also cancelled. "For Commuter Line KA (432) users to Surabaya City who are stuck on their way to Tangulangin Station, they can cancel their tickets and get refunds for all ticket fees, the process is served up to D+7," he said. His party appealed to all Commuter Line users to always follow directions from officers at stations and on trains. "We will inform information on Commuter Line travel services in Region 8 Surabaya on a regular basis," he said. Previously, PT KAI Daop 8 Surabaya confirmed and apologized for the train accident in the form of the drop in the Pandalungan train for the Gambir-Surabaya-Jember connection at the Tanggulangin Station Emplasmen on Sunday, 07.57 WIB.
