How to get a 20 per cent train ticket discount for senior citizens

PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) is providing a 20 per cent price reduction on tickets for elderly passengers aged 60 years and above. The programme applies to long-distance train journeys with specific terms and conditions set by the company. The discount is a form of appreciation from KAI to elderly customers, enabling them to continue enjoying rail transport services at more affordable fares. The discount is valid for commercial Economy, Business, and Executive class trains, but does not apply to Luxury class or certain trains not included in the reduction programme. To obtain the discount, prospective passengers must first register their entitlement as a senior citizen. Registration can be completed at Customer Service counters or station ticket windows that process reduction registrations, by presenting an original national identity card (KTP) or other official identification showing the passenger’s age. If registration is carried out by a representative, the representative must bring the original identity document of the prospective passenger along with a recent passport-sized photograph. The steps to obtain the 20 per cent senior citizen train ticket discount are: be at least 60 years of age on the date of departure; register the reduction entitlement at a station Customer Service counter or ticket window; bring an original KTP or valid official identification; after successful registration, purchase tickets via Access by KAI, the official KAI website, or station ticket counters using the registered data; and carry the original identification when travelling for verification by officers. Prospective passengers should also note that the fare reduction is not always available for every journey, as it follows KAI’s operational provisions. Furthermore, the discount is only granted to customers who have completed the reduction entitlement registration process before purchasing tickets. KAI encourages eligible members of the public to take advantage of this facility for more economical and comfortable travel. Information about the reduction programme can be obtained through Customer Service at stations and official KAI channels.
