PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) Daerah Operasi 6 Yogyakarta is launching a significant promotion to encourage travel during the upcoming mid-year school holidays. The operator will offer a 30% discount on 30 commercial economy-class train routes.

The discounted tickets can be booked starting June 6, 2026, for travel between June 20 and July 5, 2026. This initiative is part of a broader transportation stimulus program by the Ministry of Transportation, designed to boost public mobility and foster economic activity in the regions.

— Feni Novida SaragihExplaining the purpose of the 30% discount program.

Feni Novida Saragih, Public Relations Manager for KAI Daop 6 Yogyakarta, stated that the 30% fare reduction aims to make mass transportation more accessible. KAI hopes this will encourage tourism, educational trips, and family visits during the holiday season. The increased mobility during this period is expected to positively impact various economic sectors, including hospitality, culinary businesses, and small and medium-sized enterprises (UMKM).

While the discount applies exclusively to commercial economy-class trains and cannot be combined with other offers, tickets purchased at the discounted rate are still eligible for cancellation or rescheduling according to standard terms. KAI advises passengers to plan their journeys and book tickets in advance to secure their preferred travel dates and times, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and punctual holiday trip.

We invite customers to take advantage of this discount momentum by booking early to enjoy a safe, comfortable, and timely holiday trip.
