tate-owned train operator PT KAI will axe two late-night commuter trains serving the Jakarta-Bogor and Jakarta-Bekasi routes starting from Wednesday.

The axed services are the 11:25 p.m. train from Kota station in West Jakarta to Bekasi and the 12:25 a.m. from Kota to Bogor.

The spokesman for PT KAI’s Banten, West Java and Jakarta office, Sukendar Mulya, said the services were being scrapped because few commuters used them.

“We’re scrapping the services because the trains are almost empty,” he said on Wednesday as quoted by kompas.com.

Sukendar said the company would add two new services at 4:43 p.m. and 4:36 p.m. for trains departing from Jatinegara station in East Jakarta to Bogor, and Kota to Bogor, respectively.
