Anne added that ticket sales trends show that public enthusiasm continues to increase ahead of the Eid period. KAI regularly monitors sales developments to maintain a balance between transport capacity, operational safety, and customer comfort throughout the journey.
“For customers who have not yet secured tickets on their preferred routes, we recommend considering alternative departure dates, either earlier or later than the planned date. The connecting train scheme can also be an option for reaching the destination through a combination of available journeys,” explained Anne.
The Government has also provided a 30 percent fare incentive for journeys from March 14 to 29, 2026, as part of a strategy to maintain public purchasing power and support well-managed national mobility. In response to this policy, KAI is carrying out the 2026 Eid Transportation assignment with a focus on readiness of rolling stock, smooth operations, and customer service.
KAI encourages the public to purchase tickets through official channels, namely the Access by KAI application, the kai.id website, and official sales partners working with the company, to ensure transaction security and convenient services.
“This weekend can be used as an opportunity to discuss with family, determine the best travel date, and choose the most suitable route. With early planning, the 2026 Eid journey can be undertaken with greater peace of mind, safely and comfortably,” concluded Anne.
