KAI President Director Steps In to Ensure Yogyakarta Level Crossings Are Ready for the Christmas and New Year Holiday Season

As the 2026 Christmas and 2027 New Year transportation period approaches, railway infrastructure readiness remains essential to maintaining safe train operations, particularly during the rainy season. To ensure preparedness, PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) President Director Bobby Rasyidin directly inspected three level crossings within the Yogyakarta Operational Area (Daop 6) on Friday (November 6).

The inspection aimed to ensure infrastructure quality, including Concrete Level Crossing (CLC) work, while also reviewing the readiness of supporting safety facilities around railway tracks.

The three locations visited were JPL 707 in Tapen Hamlet, Argosari Village, Bantul Regency; JPL 704 in Bantar Kulon, Kulon Progo Regency; and JPL 739 on HOS Cokroaminoto Street, Tegalrejo, Yogyakarta City.

Bobby emphasized that direct supervision is necessary to ensure that all infrastructure work is carried out properly. This preparedness is part of KAI's efforts to maintain railway safety, particularly in facing changing weather conditions and increased public mobility during the Christmas and New Year holiday season.

In addition to ensuring the quality of infrastructure work, Bobby also highlighted the importance of consistency across all KAI teams in maintaining operational reliability and improving service quality. Safety remains the top priority, while every aspect of operational readiness must continue to receive attention to ensure the public receives the best possible service.

Through ongoing inspections and infrastructure maintenance, KAI continues to strengthen its preparedness for the 2026/2027 Christmas and New Year transportation period. These efforts are expected to support safe, reliable, and comfortable train journeys for the public.
