Ahead of Peak Exodus Period, Motorcycle Shipments via KAI Logistics Rise 5 Percent
Jakarta — Ahead of the peak exodus period expected to occur in the third week of Ramadan, the trend of motorcycle shipments through KAI Logistics services shows an increase.
The company is urging the public to pay attention to several procedures, particularly regarding safety aspects, to ensure that shipped vehicles remain in safe condition whilst supporting smooth mobility upon arrival in hometowns or destination cities.
VP of Corporate Secretary KAI Logistics Dwi Wulandari said that motorcycle shipments have become an increasingly popular solution among the public in preparing for exodus travel.
Dwi explained that by shipping vehicles in advance, exodus travellers can undertake their journey using safer and more comfortable modes of transport such as trains, without having to travel long distances by motorcycle, which risks causing fatigue.
“Moreover, the presence of motorcycles in the destination city also continues to support public mobility while in their hometown,” said Dwi.
Entering the second week of Ramadan, KAI Logistics recorded an increase in motorcycle shipment volume. A total of 2,300 motorcycle units have been distributed, an increase of approximately 5 percent compared to the first week of Ramadan which reached 2,217 units.
The high public interest in motorcycle shipment services is also reflected in last year’s exodus period. At that time, more than 6,600 motorcycle units were successfully distributed by KAI Logistics both during the exodus flow and return flow periods.
Favourite shipment destinations were dominated by major cities in Central Java such as Yogyakarta and Solo, followed by other cities such as Surabaya, Jakarta, and Bandung.
As demand increases, KAI Logistics reminds customers to ensure that vehicles to be shipped have been prepared properly.
“As motorcycle shipments increase, KAI Logistics also reminds customers to ensure that vehicles to be shipped have been properly prepared. One important thing that needs to be done is to empty the fuel tank to minimise potential risks during the shipping process,” explained Dwi.
Additionally, customers are advised to remove various additional accessories on motorcycles that could be damaged during the distribution process and to carry out additional packing.
Customers are also urged to inspect the condition of motorcycles before the shipping process and to record the vehicle condition as part of the handover procedure.
