PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI Daerah Operasi 6 Yogyakarta has recorded the discovery of passenger belongings left behind throughout the 2026 Eid transportation period. Based on data from the lost and found management system from 11 March to 1 April 2026, 133 items were successfully secured by staff, with a total estimated material value of Rp 129,580,000. The breakdown of all findings includes 50 valuable items, 77 ordinary category items, and 6 food items,” said Manager of Public Relations for KAI Daop 6 Yogyakarta, Feni Novida Saragih, on Friday, 3 April 2026. The distribution of item discovery locations was highest at Yogyakarta Station with 62 items, followed by Solo Balapan Station with 51 items, and Lempuyangan Station with 23 items. “These three station locations are indeed the points with the highest passenger density,” said Feni. Feni stated that the entire handling and return process for found items follows transparent and accountable procedures. From the data recording stage, securing, to efforts to return to the rightful owners as soon as reports are received. For customers who feel they have lost items in the station environment or on the train, KAI Daop 6 Yogyakarta directs them to immediately report to the nearest station staff or contact the official KAI Contact Center 121 service. “Currently, all found items whose owners’ identities have not yet been identified are stored securely in accordance with applicable company regulations,” she said. Although the lost item management system is already running professionally, KAI urges the public to be vigilant with their personal belongings before ending their journey at the destination station. She emphasised the importance of passenger carefulness as the primary prevention step to ensure a smooth journey without the hassle of losing valuable items. “Although KAI has a good found item management system, prevention efforts remain the primary step,” she said. Feni explained that the surge in passenger volume during the Eid period did not affect the management of scattered customer belongings. Optimisation of lost and found services at all operational area stations has been prepared well in advance.
