Blora Jaya Train

Information about the Blora Jaya Train

The Blora Jaya train is one of Central Java residents' favorites because it serves the economy plus passenger class. Operated by PT KAI, this train serves the Semarang-Cepu route with an average travel time of about 2.5 hours.

Initially, this agglomeration train operated on the Semarang-Cepu-Bojonegoro crossing under "Blora Jaya Ekspres" in October 2009. In 2011, a large number of passengers made the train travel twice daily.

Over time, several other train services experienced a reduction in travel, including the intensity of the Blora Jaya Train. On October 4, 2016, the Blora Jaya Semarang-Bojonegoro crossing was abolished, so now it only serves the Semarang-Cepu crossing.

The journey of the Blora Jaya train was not easy because it experienced several obstacles, so it was stopped on June 30, 2017. The obstacles faced were a series of KRDs that often had problems until they were replaced with a series of Ambarawa Ekspress trains.

On July 5, 2017, the Ekspress name of Blora Jaya began to be eliminated until it was as it is known today. Blora Jaya returns with a new face and offers the New Image Economy class. Starting with various facilities for passengers, Blora Jaya provides duplex panoramic glass with curtains, clean toilets, comfortable air conditioning, and soundproofing.

Even the luggage cabin, which used to be formed from an iron frame, is now designed similarly to executive-class luggage. Moreover, additional facilities include two LED TVs in the center of the train and electric plug facilities at each seat.

There are a total of 40/32 seats towards the front and 40/32 seats towards the backfill of this train carriage. The seats no longer have a 90-degree angle but have been replaced with more comfortable sofas. The 2-2 seats cannot be reclined, but this limitation may not matter due to the short duration of the journey.

Starting at 05:20 AM, Blora Jaya departs from Cepu to Semarang Poncol and Tawang by passing through several stations. The last scheduled train will return to Cepu at 09:25 PM.

The fare set to enjoy the New Image Economy service of the Blora Jaya train is around Rp 50.000. The price is calculated based on departures from Semarang Poncol and Semarang Tawang to Ngrombo. From Cepu to Randublatung, Doplang, and Kradenan, the fare is Rp 35.000.

Detailed Information About the Blora Jaya Train

1. Embedded in People's Hearts

Unlike the long-distance inter-city train, the Blora Jaya train that delivers passengers from Semarang to Blora has a fairly short distance. This short travel duration makes it easier for people who want to go from Semarang to Blora or vice versa.

The passengers are quite diverse, ranging from employees to students, considering Semarang is the province's capital and has many famous universities. The lack of fast transportation connecting Semarang-Cepu and surrounding areas makes Blora Jaya attached to the people's hearts.

2. Economy-Class Experience with an Executive Atmosphere

If airline passengers usually find low-cost airlines that offer low prices but adequate facilities, Blora Jaya KA is similar. The premium appearance of this executive class has become Blora Jaya’s attraction, including an LED TV in each van. Its affordable, comfortable, and clean facilities make passengers feel comfortable staying in the van for more than 2 hours.
