The\ncompany is tightening supervision, particularly of railway lines and\noperations, in flood-prone areas.<\/p>\n<p>KAI Daop 8 Surabaya emphasised that passenger safety and comfort\nremain the top priority. Extreme weather conditions not only have the\npotential to affect rail operations but also access routes to stations,\nwhich could result in traffic congestion, flooding, or delays in\nconnecting transport.<\/p>\n<p>Passengers are advised to arrive at stations earlier than usual\nduring periods of uncertain weather to avoid missing their trains. \u201cWe\nurge passengers to manage their travel time to the station, especially\nduring heavy rain or potential flooding. By arriving early, passengers\ncan avoid the risk of delays and travel safely and comfortably,\u201d said\nReynold Parulian Napitupulu, Acting Manager of Public Relations for KAI\nDaop 8 Surabaya.<\/p>\n<p>To anticipate and manage operational travel, KAI Daop 8 Surabaya is\ncontinuously monitoring weather conditions in coordination with relevant\nagencies such as the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency\n(BMKG) and local authorities.
