TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - State railway company KAI provides discounts up to 20 percent for train tickets ahead of Eid Day. The ticket booking can only be done on May 23-July 1 at KAI outlets at the Jakarta Fair in Kemayoran.
The company's official Twitter account @kai121 explains the ticket booking is valid for train departures up to 90 days ahead. The discounts are given for medium and long-distance commercial train tickets.
Unfortunately, the discount is not valid for Executive class tickets with departures on May 23-31, or for Eid Day period, as well as for all departures in Economy, Business, and Executive class on June 5 to July 1.

However, the advantage of buying tickets with a 20 percent discount in the Jakarta Fair is that the passengers can cancel and change the departure schedule. The discount cannot be used together with other ticket discounts.
In addition to discounted train tickets, KAI also provides free homecoming service on 2018 Eid holiday period. The Public Relations Manager of KAI Madiun Supriyanto said that this year, his office provides the free homecoming for 1,520 passengers.
Supriyanto said the registration of free homecoming program with KAI can be accessed since Monday, May 14, through the site mudikbarengbumn.kai.id or mudikbareng.co.id.
