KAI President Director Bobby Rasyidin explained that this increase\ndemonstrates the high public interest in using rail transport during the\nEid mudik and return flow period.<\/p>\n
He noted that the high travel demand is also reflected in the peak\nlong-distance train service on H+1 Eid, or 23 March 2026. On that day,\nthe number of passengers reached 247,025 with an occupancy rate of 154.1\npercent.<\/p>\n
Overall, KAI provided a capacity of 4,498,696 seats during this\nyear\u2019s Lebaran transportation period. The difference between capacity\nand bookings reflects the high public interest in rail services as a\nmode of long-distance travel.<\/p>\n
Of the total ticket bookings recorded, long-distance train services\ndominated with 4,130,168 passengers. Meanwhile, local train services\naccommodated 793,141 passengers.<\/p>\n

Bobby stated that this achievement results from ongoing operational\nplanning and evaluation.<\/p>\n
According to him, the travel experience felt by passengers is the\noutcome of the operational system continuously running behind the\ntransportation services. Each Lebaran transportation implementation also\nserves as material for evaluation to improve service quality in the next\nperiod.<\/p>\n
He also expressed appreciation to all KAI personnel who remained on\nduty during the Lebaran transportation period to ensure safe and\npunctual public travel.<\/p>\n
Public mobility during this Eid period also drives activities in\nvarious regions. Travel by train is considered to contribute to\nincreased economic and tourism activities in several destination\ncities.<\/p>\n
Bobby added that KAI appreciates the public\u2019s continued trust in\nchoosing trains as a transportation option during the Lebaran mudik\nperiod.<\/p>\n
