Suite Class and Luxury Train Services Continue to Gain Popularity
The Suite Class Compartment and Luxury train services are becoming increasingly popular among passengers. As of September 2024, ticket sales for both classes have continued to grow due to premium features such as comfortable and private seating, hotel-standard toilets, and other exclusive services.
From January to September 2024, KAI served 155,607 Suite Class Compartment and Luxury passengers, a 70.6% increase compared to the same period last year with 91,208 passengers. The peak occurred in June 2024, with 17,160 passengers, averaging 572 passengers per day.
The Suite Class Compartment is available on KA Bima (Gambir – Surabaya Gubeng round trip) and KA Argo Semeru (Gambir – Surabaya Gubeng round trip). Meanwhile, Luxury class coaches are attached to several trains, including Argo Dwipangga (Gambir – Solo Balapan), Argo Bromo Anggrek (Gambir – Surabaya Pasarturi), Argo Lawu (Gambir – Solo Balapan), Argo Parahyangan (Gambir – Bandung), Gajayana (Gambir – Malang), Sembrani (Gambir – Surabaya Pasarturi), Taksaka (Gambir – Yogyakarta), and Manahan Tambahan (Gambir – Solo Balapan).
Suite Class Compartment and Luxury train services are now attracting not only tourists but also regular passengers who are becoming loyal customers. Interest in these services continues to rise, especially after KAI improved travel times on several routes. For example, the KA Bima route (Gambir – Surabaya Gubeng) now takes 10 hours 30 minutes, faster than 11 hours 31 minutes in 2021.
Several advanced features are included in these trains, such as automatic sliding doors, seats that can recline up to 180 degrees and function as beds, and seats that can be rotated to face the direction of travel. Additional features include adjustable temperature control, massage functions, foldable trays for dining or working, and other exclusive amenities for Suite Class passengers.
KAI expresses its gratitude to loyal customers and remains committed to continuously improving services to provide an unforgettable travel experience.
