KAI Vice President of Corporate Communication Anne Purba reminded the public to arrange their travel plans as soon as possible. 

“The sooner the trip is planned, the greater the opportunity to secure a suitable schedule. If preferred dates are becoming crowded, passengers can consider alternative dates or utilize connecting train options,” said Anne. 

For the period from March 14 to 29, 2026, the government is also providing a 30 percent fare incentive. Passengers can take advantage of this opportunity to arrange their trips more flexibly. 

KAI encourages passengers to purchase tickets through official channels such as the Access by KAI application, the kai.id website, and authorized sales partners to ensure secure transactions and a more comfortable journey.
