Train tickets for Christmas sold out

JAKARTA: Train tickets for the Christmas holidays, scheduled to depart between Dec. 23 and Dec. 25 from Gambir Station are sold out, says a railway official.

"Passengers for the Christmas and New Year holidays could reach 12,000 a day," Gambir station deputy head Muhammad Basyier told Kompas.com. "People usually take leave of absence and return to work after the New Year."

Basyier added the station would provide an extra car per train to anticipate the increasing number of passengers during the Christmas holidays. - JP
