Those train carriages will serve passengers heading to West Java, Central Java, East Java, and Yogyakarta. Most of them are business and executive carriages,” stated PT KAI Daops I spokesman, Agus Komarudin, at Gambir Station, Tuesday (7/22).
According to Komarudin, since Eid ul Fitr D-7 until today, the passengers in Gambir Station are continuously increasing from 9,713 to 9,859 people. Although there is an increase, the station looks quiet from passengers because the management applies boarding system in which passengers must be present one hour before departure.
