  Unfortunately, overnight train from Jakarta to Yogyakarta is not comfortable We dont have sleepers. Bussines class provided with AC,soft seat, blanket and pillow. overnight train to Yogyakarta not really popular anymore, since price of air flight is cheaper. Almost as much as price of train ticket. My suggestion, use an air flight. Took only 1,5 hour and save a time. Please check www.airasia.com for lower budget flight. recommended local air flight: Mandala airlines & Garuda airlines. almost 9 years ago

  We took the train from Yogyakarta to a small town nearby about 3 hours away a couple of years ago: it was on time, but crowded and not air-conditioned although fine for us, and we were travelling with our two small children. almost 9 years ago

  The so-called business class is the equivalent of a bemo/tuk-tuk on rails! The Executive class is very nice tough, pretty much like home... about 8 years ago
