T Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) has started selling train tickets for the Idul Fitri holiday, which will fall in June.
Train passengers can buy the tickets from travel agents, convenience stores, PT KAI ticket booths at train stations and travel agency websites.
The reservation service, which has been open since Friday, provided 695,420 tickets of which 228,000 were sold by Sunday morning, causing many passengers to protest not getting tickets for their expected dates.
PT KAI attributed the sold tickets to the high demand.
PT KAI Commercial and IT director Kuncoro Wibowo said that the quick sales were caused by a high number of online purchases, instead of a sales monopoly from purchasing agents.
“Agents cannot book a lot of tickets. We treat agents and individuals equally,” he said as quoted by wartakota.tribunnews.com on Sunday.
