According to Eko, KA Argo Lawu and KA Argo Dwipangga will serve Solo-Gambir, Jakarta, each with a capacity of 500 passengers. Meanwhile, KA Lodaya serves Solo-Bandung, KA Taksaka serves Yogyakarta-Gambir, and KA Sancaka serves Solo-Surabaya.
To date, the tickets for each train are still available, said the KAI official.
“We hope the passengers will also actively monitor via online for the availability of the seats because the sales are usually very fast considering that not all buyers buy tickets online, there are those directly come to the station or through mini markets,” Eko said.
