“Long-distance train ticket sales were recorded at 2,525,134 tickets from a capacity of 2,761,048 seats or the equivalent of 91.5 percent. This figure reflects public trust in trains as a reliable mode of transportation during the Christmas period,” said Anne in an official statement, Thursday (25/12).
Overall, up to the same period, total train ticket sales during Christmas, both long-distance and local trains, have reached 2,948,025 tickets from a total of 3,506,104 seats provided by KAI for the travel period from 18 December 2025 to 4 January 2026.
This capacity is prepared to support community mobility, starting from tourist trips, family gatherings, to economic activities.
The high sales of long-distance trains are reflected in a number of relationships with the highest customer volume.Gambir-Yogyakarta relations recorded 36,958 customers, followed by Yogyakarta-Gambir with 35,576 customers, and Lempuyangan-Pasar Senen with 28,637 customers.
Other routes that also recorded high volumes include Pasar Senen-Lempuyangan, Semarang Tawang-Gambir, to Gambir-Bandung.
These connections are the main choice because they connect activity centers, tourist destinations, and homecoming and returning destinations during the Christmas holidays.
Meanwhile, local train ticket sales as of Thursday (25/12) at 08.00 WIB were recorded at 422,891 tickets or 56.8 percent of the total capacity of 745,056 seats.
“Local train sales have different characteristics because the majority of ticket purchases can only be made 7 days before departure. Therefore, local train sales figures are still very dynamic and have the potential to continue to increase closer to the day of travel,” explained Anne.
The movement of train customers during the Christmas period showed an increasing trend at the beginning of the period.The number of customers was recorded at 157,301 people on 18 December 2025, increasing to 233,671 customers on 23 December, and reaching a peak of 259,239 customers on 24 December 2025.
After peak flows leading up to Christmas Day, customer volumes move dynamically along with changes in travel patterns, including reverse flows which are expected to increase at the end of the holiday period.
The company urges the public to plan their trips early and purchase tickets via the Access by KAI application to obtain suitable schedule and route options.
“During this Christmas period, KAI also provides a fare discount of 30 percent which is valid from 22 December 2025 to 10 January 2026, with a total of 1,509,080 seats prepared in this program,” concluded Anne.
