Furthermore, passengers who intend to cancel their trip because they refuse to use the train with another route/detour, then the company refunds the ticket duty at 100 percent in addition to the message duty.

Then, the passenger destination station becomes unpassable by trains with a detour route, so the company wherever possible provides a mode of transport by canal, if the usual mode is not provided, the ticket duty is refunded 100 percent outside the message duty.

“KAI Daop 1 Jakarta expresses its apologies for the disruption to KA travel that occurred,” Irfan said.
