KAI Adds Train Services to Jakarta, Strengthens Public Mobility

PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) is adding train services and increasing passenger capacity to provide additional mobility options for the public amid rising travel demand.

This service adjustment is being implemented through the operation of three additional trains and capacity increases on several regular trains. The move is part of KAI’s readiness to provide transport services for the public while prioritising safety, comfort, and smooth operational performance of train travel.

KAI Vice President Corporate Communication Anne Purba said KAI continues to monitor public travel needs and prepares services that match operational conditions on the ground.

“KAI continues to ensure the public has access to safe and comfortable rail transport through travel service adjustments. Every travel arrangement is made with attention to the readiness of rolling stock, infrastructure, and safety aspects,” said Anne.

This service adjustment is part of KAI’s readiness to anticipate increased passenger transport demand due to the volcanic conditions of Mount Anak Krakatau. KAI continues to coordinate and monitor the situation to ensure train travel remains safe and controlled.

The three additional train services being operated are:

• Additional train for the Yogyakarta–Gambir route, departing from Yogyakarta Station at 18.20 WIB.

• Additional train for the Malang–Gambir route, departing from Malang Station at 20.15 WIB.

• Additional train for the Semarang Tawang–Gambir route, departing from Semarang Tawang Station at 20.15 WIB.

In addition to providing extra services, KAI is also increasing capacity on two regular trains, namely:

• KA Anggrek on the Surabaya Pasar Turi–Gambir route.

• KA Gumarang on the Surabaya Pasar Turi–Pasar Senen route.

Anne urged customers to prepare their journeys well and to check the latest information through the Access by KAI application, KAI’s official website, and other official information channels.

Amid the volcanic activity of Mount Anak Krakatau, KAI also advises customers to maintain their health during travel, including wearing masks when necessary, especially for those with sensitivity to volcanic ash exposure or air quality in affected areas.

“KAI invites customers to arrive at the station early, confirm their travel schedule, and follow staff instructions so that journeys proceed safely and comfortably,” Anne concluded.
