KAI Daop 1 Jakarta Sees Arrival of Nearly 53,000 Passengers on H+4 of Eid

As for today, 52,937 passengers arrived at stations in the Daop 1 Jakarta region,” said Franoto to media crews at Pasar Senen Station, Jakarta, on Wednesday. Based on data gathered at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Pasar Senen Station has received arrivals of long-distance train passengers totalling 18,239. He also noted that this year there is a somewhat different phenomenon, where many mudik travellers departing from Pasar Senen Station are not returning to the original station but are dispersed to other Daop 1 stations. Besides Pasar Senen Station, other railway stations chosen by returning mudik travellers to come back to Jakarta include Gambir, Bekasi, and Jatinegara stations. Meanwhile, the peak of the Eid return flow occurred on Tuesday (24/3), where KA Daop 1 Jakarta received 53,288 passengers arriving in the Jakarta and surrounding areas. He further stated that the Eid return flow will continue until 1 April. To anticipate the surge in return flow, KA Daop 1 Jakarta will operate 20 additional Eid trains, 13 of which are from Gambir and Pasar Senen stations that are still operating until today. This silaturahmi promo is primarily aimed at departures from the Jakarta region towards the east, namely West Java, Central Java, East Java, and Yogyakarta, for executive-class trains.
