Train was on time in spite the large number of passengers waiting on the platform. Seats are comfortable, with AC and kind staff that sells food and drinks. Bathrooms are cleaned. There are plugs for changing your phone and theoretically also WiFi but it did not work for my phone. Train stops in several places and there is always an announcement so that you have enough time to get ready. You need to exchange 12go voucher for the Kai ticket at the train station.

The train was absolutely freezing, we told the staff but nothing was done about it. We had jackets and blankets, but ended up sick with a cold after a 7-hour journey. Instead of enjoying our holiday, we're now taking medicines.

Train service is great and very comfortable. Train and station condition are also great. Anyone opting for this will not be disappointed and the ticket once purchased from the website is sent over email within few minutes and all instructions are quite clear. Indonesian people here are very warm and welcoming.

It was not clear when we booked 2 seats together for a 6 hour trainride, that our seats where Not next to each oder. And nobody wanted to swap seats so we could sit together and enjoy the trainride together.

Not a lot of leg room. We bought economy tickets, more expensive tickets might have been roomier, but that is our only gripe. The train was otherwise very comfortable, clean and punctual. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Very comfy bus, with lots of leg room, blanker, pillow, 3 Snacks and 0.5L waterbottle. Plus the staff on the bus was very kind. Would book again with Efisiensi :) They could improve communication for exact pickup location, after booking. I got the information shortly before departure, which was too late.
