Compartment suite

A Compartment Suite (Indonesian: Kereta Api Kelas Kompartemen) is a railway passenger coach that is a modification of wide glass executive coaches (K1 08) and airplane glass executive coaches (K1 09) produced by INKA in 2008 and 2009. The modification work was carried out by the Manggarai railway workshop. The compartment suite service is operated on Java by Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI). The compartment train operates on the Bima and Argo Semeru services on the Gambir-Surabaya Gubeng route since 10 October 2023, on Argo Bromo Anggrek on the Gambir-Surabaya Pasarturi route since 1 June 2025, and on Sangkuriang services on the Bandung-Ketapang route since 1 May 2026. As a result, compartment services are available only on routes connecting Jakarta Gambir with Surabaya Gubeng and Surabaya Pasar Turi, also Bandung and Ketapang, Banyuwangi stations. The service is considered a revival of sleeper train-style travel, following the end of sleeper services on the Bima and the compartment service on Senja Utama Solo in the 1990s. However, despite being called a compartment train, it is technically classified as a corridor coach, as all cabins are connected by a central aisle.
