TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia-China (KCIC) is offering up to 20 percent discount on Whoosh high-speed train tickets during the Eid al-Fitr 1446 Hijriah or Eid 2025. KCIC Corporate Secretary General Manager Eva Chairunisa said they present this special discount for people who want to use the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Train (KCJB) service.
"Discounts of 10 to 20 percent are given for groups of a minimum of 10 people traveling with Whoosh with departures from March 15 to 31, 2025," said Eva in Jakarta, on Monday, March 17, 2025, as quoted from Antara. So, what is required to get the discounted Whoosh ticket prices during Eid 2025?
Requirements for Discounted Whoosh Tickets during Eid 2025
In addition to applying for groups, Eva explained that customers can book discounted tickets through the Whoosh Group Reservation WhatsApp service at 0813-4000-2920. She mentioned that the promotion was introduced to provide convenience for people in planning their travels during Eid 2025.
"Through this group travel promo, KCIC aims to provide a more economical and comfortable transportation option for people traveling during Ramadan, whether for homecoming, visiting relatives, religious tourism, or other trips," said Eva.
Besides affordable prices, she added, Whoosh group bookings offer additional benefits, such as arranging adjacent seats, easy payment processes, and personalized service from the staff.
How to Order Discounted Whoosh Tickets during Eid 2025
The steps to order Whoosh tickets with up to 20 percent discount during Eid 2025 are as follows:
- Order tickets for departures from March 15-31, 2025. Bookings can be made 10 days before the departure.

- Inform the date and travel route.
- Provide the number and details of the group's passengers.

- Then, follow the staff's instructions to complete the payment.
Since the promotion started, Eva mentioned that the number of groups that have used the service has reached 4,386 groups with 409,964 passengers. According to her, this number indicates the high public interest in traveling together using Whoosh as a fast and comfortable transportation.
She also hopes that the high-speed train's discounted fares for homecoming Eid 2025 can provide convenience to the passengers. In addition, the promotion is expected to reduce the public's travel costs.
"With the fast, comfortable, and efficient Whoosh service, we want to ensure a better travel experience for all customers during this Ramadan, Eid homecoming period," said Eva.
