According to a report from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), there were 43.26 million train passengers in Indonesia in February 2026.

This figure includes train passengers on Java Island and non-Java islands (Sumatra and Sulawesi), including airport trains, MRT, LRT, and Whoosh express trains.

The number of domestic train passengers in February 2026 decreased by 10.05% compared to the previous month (month-to-month/mtm). This decrease occurred across all train lines.

According to Ateng Hartono, Deputy Head of Distribution and Services Statistics at BPS, the main factor behind the decrease is that February is the low season, a period of holiday or low visitor and tourist activity.

"Public mobility also decreased, and the number of days in February is fewer compared to other months," said Ateng Hartono in a press release on Wednesday (1/4/2026).

In addition, the public also tends to limit travel at the beginning of Ramadan 2026 and start preparing for the Lebaran homecoming in March 2026.

Here are the details of the number of train passengers in Indonesia by segment in February 2026, and the changes compared to the previous month:

Jabodetabek commuter trains: 27.79 million passengers, a decrease of 8.05% (mtm)
Trains on Java Island outside Jabodetabek: 7.21 million passengers, a decrease of 16% (mtm)
Trains in non-Java regions: 562,000 passengers, a decrease of 13.82% (mtm)
Airport trains: 714,800 passengers, a decrease of 12.74% (mtm)
MRT trains: 3.61 million passengers, a decrease of 11.88% (mtm)
LRT trains: 2.92 million passengers, a decrease of 8.75% (mtm)
Whoosh express trains: 443,800 passengers, a decrease of 12.76% (mtm).
