Public enthusiasm for using trains for intercity travel remains relatively low. This phenomenon is evident from the latest survey results by the Kurious-Katadata Insight Center (KIC).

The survey shows that the majority, or 65.1% of total respondents, admitted to using trains only 1-2 times a year.

This is followed by 17.7% of respondents who use trains 2-3 times a year.

Meanwhile, only 8.3% of respondents used trains for intercity travel 2-3 times a year. This is followed by 2.7% of respondents who used this public transportation 4-5 times a year.

Only 6.2% of respondents took intercity trips by train more than 5 times a year.

The Kurious-KIC survey was conducted on 1,504 respondents spread across Indonesia, consisting of 56.90% female respondents and 43.10% male respondents.

63.1% of respondents were located on the island of Java (excluding Jakarta), followed by respondents in DKI Jakarta (16.5%), and Sumatra (13%). The proportion of respondents from Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali-Nusa Tenggara, and Maluku-Papua ranged from 0.2-3.7%.

Data collection was conducted from November 6-9, 2023, using the computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI) method, with a margin of error of approximately 2.5% and a 95% confidence level.
