For departures on 30 March 2026 up to 15:00 WIB, the number of long-distance train customers reached 168,111 and still has potential to increase until night time.
Amid this high mobility, KAI’s operational performance remains maintained. Throughout the 2026 Lebaran transport period, KAI operated 8,844 train trips with a departure punctuality rate of 99.80% and arrival punctuality of 98.86%.
Bobby stated that this achievement is the result of consistent planning and evaluation.

On the occasion at Pasar Senen Station on 30 March 2026, Bobby also expressed appreciation to all KAI personnel for their dedication during the Lebaran transport period.
This year’s Lebaran also drove activities in various regions. Public travel contributed to increased economic and tourism activities in destination cities.
