Weekends are even more fun by train: Sit back, relax, chat, and enjoy the views along the way.

Weekends are the perfect time to take a break from the routine. One option is to travel by train, offering a more relaxed and comfortable journey.

Public interest in using trains on weekends continues to show a positive trend. As of April 24, 2026, at 6:00 PM WIB (Western Indonesian Time), ticket sales for the period April 24–26, 2026, had reached 334,444. On April 24, 2026, more than 142,828 passengers traveled by train for various purposes, from returning to their hometowns, to seeing family, to enjoying a short trip out of town.

KAI Vice President of Corporate Communications Anne Purba stated that train travel is now increasingly integrated into people's daily lives. Customers can enjoy more flexible travel options, such as ordering food and drinks directly from their seats, chatting with friends or family, and enjoying the ever-changing scenery along the route.

The quiet atmosphere inside the train makes the journey more relaxing. Many customers utilize their time in different ways: some enjoy meals, others engage in casual conversation, and still others prefer to enjoy the scenery from the window. The steady pace of the journey makes the time feel more enjoyable.

Some of the most popular connections during this weekend period include Yogyakarta–Gambir, Lempuyangan–Pasar Senen, Gambir–Yogyakarta, Semarang Tawang–Gambir, Pasar Senen–Lempuyangan, Gambir–Semarang Tawang, Gambir–Bandung, Bandung–Gambir, Pariaman–Padang, and Sukabumi–Bogor Paledang. Each route offers a different travel experience, ranging from rice fields, hills, city views, and even ocean views on some sections.

Throughout the journey, customers are encouraged to maintain a comfortable atmosphere, including conversation, to ensure a conducive atmosphere on the train for all passengers.

Anne added that the journey has now become an enjoyable experience for customers. Many use the time on the journey to rest, chat, or simply enjoy the atmosphere in a more relaxed manner. The train's on-board facilities also ensure a comfortable and convenient journey.

Out the windows, the scenery constantly changes, from rice paddies and hills to tunnels and flowing rivers. The journey becomes more enjoyable because passengers can savor every moment without rushing.

With the growing trend of travel, trains are a comfortable option for a weekend getaway. Sitting back, relaxing, chatting, and enjoying the scenery can be a memorable travel experience with KAI.
