PT Kereta Api Indonesia implements new schedules and expands services

PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) is implementing a new Train Journey Graph (GAPEKA) 2026, effective December 1, 2026. This centralized policy applies to all operational areas in Java and Sumatra to optimize service quality, safety, and passenger comfort.

Under the new schedule, the Pandanwangi local train (Jember–Ketapang) will add stops at Argopuro, Sumberwadung, and Glenmore stations in East Java. Additionally, KAI will launch the KA Pandawa executive service connecting Semarang, Solo, and Yogyakarta, offering four daily trips with a capacity of 300 seats per journey.

To address rising passenger volumes, KAI Commuter plans to procure 23 new trainsets for the Jabodetabek Commuter Line over the next two to three years. These units, produced by PT Industri Kereta Api (INKA), are intended to replace the need for importing used Japanese trains. Testing for the eighth INKA-produced trainset is currently underway on the Bogor–Jakarta Kota route.
