        "summary": "PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC) anticipates a 20 percent increase in Whoosh high-speed train passengers during this year's Lebaran return period, with daily numbers potentially reaching 22,000 to 23,000 compared to the normal 16,000-18,000. This surge reflects heightened mobility between Jakarta and Bandung, driven by ongoing holidays and tourism, underscoring the train's growing popularity for its speed and efficiency. KCIC has bolstered security measures, including 1,773 CCTV cameras, to handle the influx safely.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC) predicts\nthat the number of Whoosh high-speed train passengers during this year\u2019s\nLebaran return period will rise by around 20 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLooking at today\u2019s passenger numbers still remaining high, it is\npredicted that they will continue to increase by around 15 to 20 percent\ncompared to normal days,\u201d said KCIC Corporate Communication Manager Emir\nMonti at the KCIC Station in East Jakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the high mobility of the public from and to Bandung\nshows a significant increase compared to normal days.<\/p>\n<p>Under normal conditions, the number of Whoosh passengers ranges\nbetween 16,000 and 18,000 people per day. However, during the Lebaran\nreturn period, this figure is predicted to continue rising.<\/p>\n<p>Although the return flow is synonymous with the movement of people\nreturning to Jakarta, KCIC has also recorded an ongoing flow of\npassengers departing for Bandung.<\/p>\n<p>This is influenced by the ongoing holiday period in several\ninstitutions and schools, allowing the public to utilise the time for\ntourism.<\/p>\n<p>Up to midday, the number of Whoosh tickets sold has reached around\n13,000 to 14,000 tickets. This figure is estimated to continue\nincreasing until the last departure schedule.<\/p>\n<p>PT KCIC is optimistic that the total number of passengers today can\nreach around 22,000 to 23,000 people. If realised, this number indicates\nthe high interest of the public in using the high-speed train as the\nmain mode of transportation during the Lebaran period, both for return\nflows and tourist trips.<\/p>\n<p>This increase in passenger numbers also serves as an indicator that\nWhoosh is increasingly favoured due to its speed and efficiency in\nconnecting Jakarta and Bandung.<\/p>\n<p>KCIC continues to ensure operational readiness to anticipate the\nsurge in passengers during the ongoing return period.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC) confirmed that the\nsecurity and surveillance system at Whoosh Stations has been\nstrengthened during this year\u2019s Lebaran Idul Fitri homecoming\nperiod.<\/p>\n<p>One of the efforts undertaken is deploying 1,773 Closed Circuit\nTelevision (CCTV) cameras across all station areas and rail lines.<\/p>",
