The company's VP of Public Relations Joni Martinus noted that the total number of passengers served during the holiday period rose by 46 percent as compared to 90,913 passengers served on intercity routes in June 2022.
"Overall, railway services are smooth, and passengers have observed health protocols. PT KAI expressed gratitude to residents, who have used the railway service during the Eid al-Adha holiday period this year," Martinus remarked here, Monday.
He said that PT KAI served an average of 132,753 passengers and operated an average of 229 trips daily during the Eid al-Adha period.
Martinus noted that Jakarta-Bandung, Jakarta-Yogyakarta, Jakarta-Surabaya, Surabaya-Yogyakarta, and Surabaya-Semarang routes were some of the most popular routes during the Eid al-Adha holiday period originating from Jakarta or Surabaya.
Martinus highlighted that the residents' enthusiasm to use railway services during the holiday period demonstrated an increase in their interest in rail travel.
The railway company also urged passengers to use rail services by being mindful and respectful of other travelers, he noted.
Passengers can also immediately report any inconvenience that they encounter to officers in the station or the train, the official remarked.
Martinus pointed out that as pro-active and preventive measures against sexual harassment in railway services, the company has engaged in large-scale anti-sexual harassment campaigns covering all service areas of PT KAI.
The company is committed to continually making public announcements on sexual harassment in all stations and trains operated by the company, he added.
"The KAI Group is consistent to fight sexual violence in railway service. We will also assist (sexual harassment) victims to take legal actions," Martinus stated.
