=== Indonesia === {{see also|List of named passenger trains of Indonesia}} [[Indonesia]]n trains, operated by the [[state-owned]] [[Kereta Api Indonesia|PT Kereta Api Indonesia]] (the Indonesian Railways Co.), have now four classes for long-distance travel. All types of carriages are seating-only (no sleeper cars). * '''Executive/first class (''eksekutif'')'''–the top and most expensive class, offers the most comfortable means of travel - 2–2 reclining seat configuration, on-board TV. Executive-class carriages are classified by the [[Ministry of Transportation (Indonesia)|Ministry of Transportation]] as '''K1'''. Also, trains having Eksekutif cars are certainly the fastest ones – see the note below. ** '''Argo class''' – this is the top class that all of train names use '''Argo''' brand. ** '''Fauna class''' – below the Argos. * '''Business/second class (''bisnis'')'''–medium class, the fare is around 60% of executive classes, 2–2 seating, fixed 60 degrees seat. Business-class carriages are classified by the Ministry of Transportation as '''K2'''. The Indonesian Railways is phasing out this class. * '''[[Premium economy class]]'''–the intermediate level between the business and economy classes, the fare is nearly same as business, 2-2 reclining seat configuration. * '''Economy/third class (''ekonomi'')'''–the lowest and cheapest class, below the premium class tickets are around 20% of business classes. Economy-class carriages are classified by the Ministry of Transportation as '''K3'''. ** '''Commercial economy class''', 2-2 seat configuration ** '''[[Public service obligation|PSO economy]] class''', 3-2 seat configuration, with split-type [[air conditioner|air conditioned]] (retrofitted from fans) All classes are non-smoking and air conditioned. All passengers require a seat reservation, ''except'' for commuter trains. All seats can be reserved from 30 to 90 days before travel date until minutes before departure time when seats are still available. Medium and long-distance trains have onboard cafeteria, [[flushing toilet]]s (older passenger coaches have [[squatting toilet]]s), onboard customer service representative (Train Manager), onboard security, and onboard cleaning services.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://tiket.kereta-api.co.id/index.php?_it8tnz=MTM=#layanan |title=Situs Resmi PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero)| website=Tiket.kereta-api.co.id |access-date=2018-09-20| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303221033/https://tiket.kereta-api.co.id/index.php?_it8tnz=MTM=| archive-date=3 March 2016}}</ref> Executive class trains are the fastest and stop only on a few major stations (first priority). Business trains are somewhat slower, but generally do not stop too often as well there may be economy cars in these trains (second priority). Economy trains take significantly more time to reach the destination, as they stop on many smaller stations and have to [[passing loop|pass]] all executive and business class traffic going in the same direction (third priority). Many less important routes lack either business or executive service, or both. Some services have more two or three classes mixed together (executive-business, executive-economy, executive-premium economy, or executive-business-economy). For local or commuter trains, single class service is the most common type of service. But in some areas there may be other classes as well which have different seating arrangement and travel time in which the lower classes has more stops than the upper one. For example, Jogjakarta–Solo route there are ''[[Sriwedari (train)|Sriwedari]]'' train services which is air conditioned and has transverse seating and also ''[[Prambanan Express]]'' train which is non air conditioned, has longitudinal seating and more stops. Meanwhile, in [[Jakarta]] metropolitan area, there's only one class of service available since mid-2013 which is air conditioned and has longitudinal seating;<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.tribunnews.com/topics/penghapusan-krl-ekonomi |title=Topik: Penghapusan KRL Ekonomi| website=Tribunnews.com |date=2013-04-01 |access-date=2018-09-20}}</ref> however, a tradition that started in the mid-90s made it customary for commuter trains to be technically classified as executive-class trains. [[Commuter]] trains in Jakarta are operated by [[Kereta Commuter Indonesia]], a subsidiary of the Indonesian Railways Co.
