Pasundan train (1996 - 2019)
The Pasundan train was first time operate by KAI on 18 February 1996 during the homecoming season Eid al-Fitr in 1996.[1] to accompany the Badrasurya train—an abbreviation of the route it runs, namely Greater Bandung–Surabaya. The Badrasurya train is an economy class train service that has been operating since the 1970s, but the train's departure point is at Bandung Station. Due to the service simplification policy implemented by Perumka, the Badrasurya train stopped operating, leaving only the Pasundan train serving the area.[2]
On 1 December 2019, following the enactment of new train travel chart 2019, the Pasundan train exchanged trains with the Kahuripan at Kiaracondong. On the same date, the Pasundan train began serving passengers in both directions at Ngawi, after previously only serving passengers heading towards Surabaya.
