Indonesia Offers 30% Discount on Economy Train and Ferry Tickets for School Holidays

To stimulate domestic travel and economic activity during the school holidays, the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation is offering a significant discount on public transport. From June 20 to July 5, 2026, passengers can enjoy a 30% fare reduction on economy-class train tickets and economy-class ferry services across the country.

This initiative is designed to enhance the mobility and purchasing power of the public. By making travel more affordable, the government hopes to encourage more people to explore the country, thereby supporting the tourism sector. Additionally, the increased movement of people is expected to contribute to the growth of regional economies.

The discount applies broadly to all commercial economy-class train routes and all passenger ferry routes. This comprehensive approach ensures that a wide range of travelers can benefit from the reduced fares, whether they are traveling by rail or sea. The program underscores the government's commitment to boosting economic recovery and supporting citizens' ability to travel during holiday periods.
