JAKARTA PT Kereta Api Indonesia (kai) appealed to all customers to allocate sufficient time when heading to the departure station. This is an effort so that customers do not miss the train they want to ride.

"Given the density of roads that tend to increase at the moment of Eid homecoming as it is today. We urge customers to continue to use trains as a mode of transportation to return to their hometowns, they can arrange departure times from home to departure stations," said KAI VP Public Relations Joni Martinus, Sunday, April 16.

According to Joni, based on KAI's monitoring on Sunday, April 16, 2023 at 07.00 WIB, long-distance train tickets that have been sold for train departures during the 2023 Eid Transport period are 2,170,643 tickets or 71 percent of the total long-distance train tickets provided, namely 3,065,404 tickets.

"The number will still increase, because sales are still ongoing," he said.

Joni explained that the favorite relationship so far is that the period before Lebaran is dominated by passengers from the West (Jakarta / Bandung) towards the East (Central Java and East Java). For the period after Lebaran, passengers from the East (Central Java / East Java) are dominated towards the West (Jakarta / Bandung).

Meanwhile, train trips whose occupancy reaches 100 percent are Airlangga Train (Pasar Senen - Surabaya Pasar Turi pp), Sri Tanjung train (Lempuyangan - Ketapang pp), Kahuripan train (Kiaracondong - Blitar pp), Additional Pasundan train (Kiaracondong - Surabaya Gubeng pp), Rajabasa train (Kertapati - Tanjungkarang pp), Bengawan train (Pasar Senen - Purwosari pp).

Then, the Probowangi Train (Surabaya Gubeng - Ketapang pp), Bukit Serelo Train (Kertapati - Lubuklinggau pp), Tawang Alun Train (Malang Kota Lama - Ketapang pp), Ranggajati train (Cirebon - Jember pp), Jayabaya train (Pasar Senen - Malang pp), and others.

Meanwhile, there are still many long-distance train trips that are still available in the Eid 2023 transportation period, such as Argo Bromo Anggrek (Gambir - Surabaya Pasarturi pp) train, Argo Dwipangga train (Gambir - Solo Balapan pp), Argo Parahyangan train (Gambir - Bandung pp), Sembrani train (Gambir - Surabaya Pasarturi pp), Taksaka train (Gambir - Yogyakarta pp), Purwojaya train (Gambir - Cilacap), Main Senen - Yogyakarta pp train, and others.

"If the desired ticket runs out, the customer can choose an alternative date or take advantage of the Connecting Train feature in the KAI Access application which will help provide travel options by combining a connecting train schedule," said Joni.

The following is distribution based on the date of long-distance train departure which is a favorite of bookings.

April 24, 2023 = 94 percent dated April 25, 2023 = 92 percent Deadline 19 & 20 April 2023 = 91 percent
