Although demand has increased on several dates, the public can still choose alternative dates with relatively greater availability.

Vice President Corporate Communication KAI Anne Purba encouraged the public to plan their journeys early in order to secure schedules that meet their needs.

“We encourage customers to plan their journeys in advance. If their preferred dates are becoming crowded, customers can consider alternative departure dates or utilize the connecting train option,” said Anne.

During the period from March 14 to 29, 2026, a 30 percent fare incentive is available as part of the government’s policy to support public mobility during the Lebaran period.

KAI reminds customers to purchase tickets through the company’s official channels, namely the Access by KAI application, the kai.id website, and official sales partners, in order to ensure transaction security and travel convenience.
