The recent train collision at Bekasi Timur Station on Monday evening has caused significant disruption to rail services, particularly impacting journeys originating from the Madiun region. PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) Daerah Operasi 7 Madiun has announced the temporary cancellation of two key long-distance train services bound for Jakarta: the KA 143B Madiun Jaya and the KA 149 Singasari.

This decision, effective Tuesday, April 28, 2026, is a direct consequence of the ongoing accident investigation and the need to ensure the safety of all passengers. The collision, which involved the Argo Bromo Anggrek train and a commuter line, has necessitated adjustments to operational patterns by PT KAI Daerah Operasi 1 Jakarta, leading to temporary halts for trains departing from Gambir and Pasar Senen stations.

The cancellation of the trip is valid today.
