Jakarta, Selular.ID – PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) and PT Blue Bird Tbk continue the collaboration that allows ordering Bluebird taxis to be integrated into the KAI Access application. Through this collaboration, people who order train tickets through the KAI Access application can add Bluebird taxi services to the service selection menu before making payments. This collaboration is also the first multi-mode transportation integration in Indonesia, which includes the integration of services to the payment system.
This service is a continuation of the collaboration between KAI and Bluebird which includes the First Mile, which is pick-up transportation from the initial location to the departure station. Previously on September 16, 2020, KAI and Bluebird had introduced the Last Mile service or transportation from the arrival station to the destination location.
The wider reach of the collaboration is believed to be able to increase the accessibility, convenience, and convenience of mobility for the public using mass transportation. In addition, as a tangible manifestation of improving the quality of land transportation services through the collaboration of the two companies’ digital transformation.
“The launch of the First Mile service will further provide ease of accessibility, integration, and convenience for KAI customers to take advantage of Bluebird taxis. So this is an extraordinary collaboration and synergy where Bluebird as the main taxi player and KAI as the main railway player collaborate, synergize, in providing value to our customers,” said Director of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero), Didiek Hartantyo to Selular .ID.
Didiek hopes that the synergy between KAI and Bluebird will continue to produce innovations to expand the service features that are already available in the KAI Access application. The goal is to provide comfort, trust, and safety to customers.
“I am confident and optimistic that this pandemic will soon be overcome by the government so that the new normal period will soon arrive, and we will develop transportation services. This is in line with KAI’s vision, which is to become the best transportation ecosystem solution for Indonesia. Where in building the ecosystem we will continue to collaborate with other modes of transportation and the most important thing is the Bluebird Taxi service,” he added.
The same thing was conveyed by the President Director of PT Blue Bird Tbk, Sigit Djokosoetono.
“The sustainability of this collaboration is a form of strong synergy between the BUMN and the private sector to support the growth and improvement of the quality of mass transportation services in Indonesia. We believe that this collaboration will be able to provide integrated services that the community can rely on in meeting their mobility needs with long distances between cities and provinces,” said Sigit.
Sigit added that the continuation of this collaboration also brings the Fixed Price feature which offers a fixed price on every trip with Bluebird.
“We want to share the best travel experience for loyal Bluebird and KAI users through the Fixed Price feature. Through this feature, KAI Access service users get a peaceful travel experience with us starting from the starting point of departure to the initial destination station and from the final destination station to the end point of the trip with fixed rates from Bluebird, “said Sigit.
This service can only be done for long-distance train services. Ordering First Mile and Last Mile services on the KAI Access Application can be done simultaneously with booking train tickets, or separately from booking train tickets. Ordering additional taxi services, which is done together with train tickets, is made on the Booking Details page, then select additional taxi services through the Taxi menu. If it is done separately from booking train tickets, then first select the train ticket booking code to which First Mile and Last Mile services will be added, then on the Ticket Details page select the Service menu and then select the Taxi menu.
In this collaboration, KAI Access users can enjoy the Fixed Price feature from Bluebird which is able to maximize comfort while traveling. The Fixed Price feature provides users with a fixed price scheme regardless of the uncertain road situation, including traffic jams. That way, you can provide extra peace of mind from the first or last mile journey to your destination.
Currently, the First Mile and Last Mile services can be used for departure and arrival stations, namely Gambir, Pasar Senen, Bandung, Semarang Tawang, Semarang Poncol, Yogyakarta, Surabaya Gubeng and Surabaya Pasar Turi. In the future, the number of serving stations will be added gradually.
