JAKARTA - The Operational Area (Daop) 1 of PT KAI recorded an increase in the number of passengers during the commemoration of the 78th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia until this weekend.

KAI Daop 1 Jakarta has served 95 thousand KAJJ passengers departing from Gambir Station and Pasar Senen Station for the period 16-20 August 2023 tomorrow.

Daily Executive of KAI Daop 1 Jakarta Public Relations Manager, Feni Novida Saragih said, the highest number of passengers rising occurred on August 16 and 17, 2023, totaling 27 thousand passengers and 25 thousand passengers who boarded from Gambir Station and Pasar Senen.

"Compared to the same period the previous weekend, this number showed an increase of 20 percent to 45 percent," he told the media, Saturday, August 19.

According to him, the volume number of departing passengers will still change considering that ticket sales are still ongoing.

"As for every day, there are 60 KAJJs departing from the Daop 1 area of Jakarta," Feni continued.

Furthermore, he added, starting September 1, 2023, the Southern Gate of Gambir Station Specially Serves Boarding Face Recognition.

KAI Daop 1 Jakarta also appealed to train customers to immediately register face recognition services because starting September 1, 2023, the Southern Gate of Gambir Station Specially Serves Boarding Face Recognition.

"Currently there are 4 Boarding Gate with Face Recognition technology in the south hall area of Gambir Station," he said.

Just so you know, the Face Recognition Boarding Gate is a boarding service facility in a ticket checking area equipped with a camera that functions to identify and validate a person's identity through a facial scan whose data has been integrated with train ticket data belonging to passengers on the KAI boarding system.

The boarding process is more practical because customers simply board by scanning their faces through the Face Recognition Gate and no longer need to show their ID cards or proof of ticket prints.

To be able to enjoy this facility, he said, customers only need to register once or register continuously, including when they are at another station that already has Face Recognition Boarding Gate facilities such as Bandung, Yogyakarta, Surabaya Gubeng, Malang, and Solo Balapan Stations.

"For train customers who have used similar services at these stations, there is no need to register again at Gambir Station," added Feny.

At Gambir Station, the registration process can be carried out on the Check In Counter (CIC) engine or through special service officers in the south hall area.

The registration process cannot be represented, it is enough to bring the e-KTP registration process directly by attaching the e-KTP to the Reader device and then attaching the right or left index finger to the scanner in the e-KTP reader.

If you have registered, customers no longer need to print the boarding pass. Customers can go directly to the Face Recognition Boarding Gate if the time for boarding can be done.

Direct the face to the scanner and if the ticket data, identity, and other conditions are correct, the gate will automatically open.

The process of scanning the customer's face and the verification process of all data stored in the KAI system is very fast, so this will greatly facilitate customers and facilitate queues during the boarding process.

For customers who cannot register because they do not have e-KTP such as their subsidiary or e-KTP is damaged, there is no need to worry, the registration process can also be carried out through available service officers, besides that KAI also still provides manual boarding services at Gambir Station.

However, if you can't go to the station, customers can also register Face Recognition on the Access by KAI application.

This application is an update of the KAI Access application.

"The implementation of the Face Recognition Boarding Gate is expected to make it easier for customers to travel because the boarding process will be much faster, practical and does not require manual file verification, a number of these things will certainly make customers more comfortable in enjoying the entire train journey process," he concluded.
