        "content": "<p>As many as 699,331 return trip tickets for Eid 2026 are still\navailable until Saturday morning (21\/3\/2026). Based on data from PT\nKereta Api Indonesia (Persero), 3.8 million Eid transport tickets have\nbeen sold, representing 84.5% of the total 4.5 million seats available.\nThe train ticket quota is available for Long-Distance Trains (KA) and\nLocal Trains during the period from 11 March 2026 to 1 April 2026. The\nbreakdown of train tickets sold during the Eid 2026 holiday period is\n3.3 million or 92.2% for Long-Distance KA and 438,203 tickets or 47.3%\nfor Local KA. During the Eid transport homecoming period from 11-20\nMarch 2026, KAI has served 1.7 million Long-Distance KA passengers and\n302,561 Local KA passengers on Java and Sumatra, totalling 1.98 million\npassengers. Return trip train ticket purchases for 2026 can be made\nthrough KAI\u2019s official channels, including the official KAI website and\nthe Access by KAI application. In addition to the website and app, Eid\n2026 KA tickets can also be purchased via KAI\u2019s Contact Center 121 as\nwell as official sales partners and online travel agents cooperating\nwith KAI. On Saturday, 21 March 2026, at least 174,198 Long-Distance KA\npassengers are scheduled to travel, with a temporary occupancy rate\nreaching 108.1% for that day alone. This number still has the potential\nto increase as ticket sales continue. Furthermore, Anne added that\noccupancy rates above 100% are possible in long-distance train\noperations due to dynamic travel patterns within a single train set. \u201cIn\na single long-distance train journey, one seat can be used by more than\none passenger on different routes. This scheme allows the number of\npassengers served to be greater than the number of seats available on a\nsingle route,\u201d she explained. Nevertheless, the public still has\nopportunities to obtain tickets for certain trips, especially for return\njourneys, through alternative routes, different departure schedules, or\nonward travel schemes. KAI also urges passengers to utilise connecting\ntrain services and choose more flexible travel dates to increase their\nchances of securing tickets. \u201cWith the remaining capacity available, KAI\ninvites the public to immediately plan their return trips well so that\nthe journey is more comfortable, smooth, and enjoyable with the train,\u201d\nAnne concluded.<\/p>",
