KA Muria Schedule Starting October 1, 2026: 12 Daily Semarang Tawang-Gambir Round Trips

SEMARANG, KOMPAS.com - KAI Daop 4 Semarang will operate 12 daily Muria train trips starting October 1, 2026, serving the round-trip route between Semarang Tawang and Gambir.

This service launch follows KAI’s unification of three train services—KA Argo Muria, KA Argo Sindoro, and KA Argo Merbabu—under the single name KA Muria.

There are six departures from Semarang Tawang to Gambir and six trips in the reverse direction. Departure times are available from morning through evening.

KAI Daop 4 Semarang Public Relations Manager Luqman Arif explained that the renaming simplifies the service identity to be more concise, consistent, and easily recognizable to customers.

“Starting October 1, 2026, passengers will recognize the trips previously named Argo Muria, Argo Sindoro, and Argo Merbabu by a single identity: KA Muria,” Luqman told Kompas.com on Monday (9/21/2026).
