Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Compartment Suite Train recorded its highest passenger volume for January–July 2026. In July 2026, the service with private travel compartments served 5,712 passengers, an increase of 10.21 per cent compared to June’s 5,183 passengers.

KAI Vice President Corporate Communication Anne Purba said the growth reflects the increasingly diverse preferences of customers in determining their rail travel experience.

“Each customer has different travel needs. Some consider efficiency, comfort, and privacy. The development of the Compartment Suite Train shows that the option of a more personal travel experience has a continuously growing market segment,” said Anne.

Compared to January 2026, passenger volume in July increased by approximately 34.69 per cent. The increase became more visible from May, continued in June, and reached its highest point in July.

Anne added that this development serves as one indicator for KAI in reading the dynamics of customer needs and developing product differentiation in a measured manner.

“Railways serve an increasingly broad spectrum of travel, both in terms of destinations and customer preferences. KAI will continue to read these needs as part of service development, with safety and service quality remaining the priority,” Anne concluded.
