Vacationing by Train is Easier with KAI Access
Ahead of the school holidays, one of the agendas usually planned during the break is traveling out of town. Some people might plan a vacation with their family or closest friends. For those who will be traveling during the holidays, it is highly recommended to plan which transportation mode to use starting from now.
One of the transportation modes frequently used for traveling out of town is the train. The train is a fast, safe, and traffic-free mode of transportation so that customers can quickly reach their destinations. In addition, trains also implement strict health protocols, making them very safe to be used for family holiday transport.
Now, for those who want to vacation out of town by train, booking train tickets can be done online using the KAI Access application. Of course, this method is highly practical and makes booking tickets much easier without having to come to the station.
For people who do not have the KAI Access application yet, they can download it from Google Play or the App Store. The advantage of KAI Access is that it not only serves train ticket bookings, but also offers itinerary modification services, ticket cancellations, onboard food ordering, and information from KAI Group services. Furthermore, various features in KAI Access listed below will make it even easier for you when using train services:
First Mile and Last Mile
The presence of the first-mile and last-mile service in KAI Access can assist customers who want to continue their journey using buses or taxis from the station to their next destination or vice versa without having to switch applications. This innovation is KAI's step toward building an integrated transportation ecosystem as a whole.
Digital Wallet
KAI Access features KAIPay, a digital wallet for paying for various transactions within KAI Access. Not only can it be used to pay for train tickets, but KAIPay can also be used to pay for first-mile and last-mile services, along with various products and services available in the KAI Access application. Consequently, customers do not need to exit the application when making a transaction. KAIPay is part of the digital transformation that KAI is currently intensifying to accelerate company progress. This aligns with KAI's expectation to make its customers more comfortable in using various KAI services.
To use KAIPay, each customer needs to activate KAIPay in the KAI Access application by filling in personal data and setting up a KAIPay PIN. This KAIPay PIN is used as payment verification for customers while maintaining payment security.
Top Up and Billing
Running out of mobile data while browsing during the train journey or while waiting for the train at the station? No need to worry because in the KAI Access application, there is a Top Up and Billing feature that allows KAI Access users to easily top up mobile credits and internet data packages. Not only that, KAI Access users can also refill electricity tokens via this application. The payment is practical since it can utilize KAIPay.
Connecting Train
Another excellent feature of KAI Access is the Connecting Train. Customers can utilize the Connecting Train feature in the KAI Access application to help provide alternative train journeys by combining train schedules that are interconnected.
The existence of this feature certainly makes it easier for customers to search for trains if the desired travel route does not have direct train access, to look for trains if the available schedule for direct trains does not suit their needs, or to find trains if the direct train tickets for the customer's desired route are sold out.
Using this feature is very easy. When you open KAI Access and determine the departure and destination points, a list of trains will appear. If there are no regular trains left for that day, the Connecting Train feature will appear at the very bottom. If regular trains are still available on that day but the train for the desired time is gone, this feature is positioned between the available and sold-out regular trains.
Even though the Connecting Train feature is available on KAI Access, KAI urges passengers to prepare a sufficient time buffer so they do not miss the next train journey.
KAI will continue to enrich the KAI Access application with various useful features for customers as part of KAI's digital transformation. Through all-digital services, customers find it increasingly easy and practical to use various KAI services within just one grasp. KAI hopes that the KAI Access application will continue to be favored by the public, especially millennials, for using train services.
Customers who are going on vacation by train are urged to arrive at the station earlier. This is important so that customers can avoid delays. KAI also suggests boarding be conducted one hour before the train departure. Passengers must undergo a screening of travel requirements (according to passenger criteria) adapting to the issuance of the Ministry of Transportation's Circular Letter (SE) Number 57 of 2022 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Domestic Travel by Train Transportation during the Covid-19 Pandemic dated May 18, 2022. Additionally, customers are expected to keep adhering to the designated health protocols.
School holidays by train with family can be a fun and unforgettable moment. While the journey is exciting, arriving at the destination will be even more thrilling. The holiday opportunity will not go to waste. Come on, plan your train trip from now on using KAI Access.
