The Pangrango (Indonesian : Kereta Api Pangrango) is an executive and economy class (new image/premium economy) passenger train service operated by Kereta Api Indonesia, running from Sukabumi to Bogor in West Java, Indonesia and vice versa. The train carries executive and economy class passenger trains with a 2-2 seating arrangement. ^[1] On the travel map, the train is coded (PG) and colored feijoa ( ).

History

Pangrango began its operation on 9 November 2013 to replace the Bumi Geulis train which had ceased operation on 15 December 2012. ^{[2] [3]} The name "Pangrango" is taken from Mount Pangrango, a mountain in the Mount Gede Pangrango National Park area.

The executive class service on the train was abolished on 1 January 2016. ^[4] Due to customer requests, KAI returned executive class on 21 January 2016 and underwent fare adjustments due to the elimination of subsidies. ^{[5] [6]}

On 10 April 2022, Pangrango was officially operating again after 2 years because of the Bogor-Sukabumi railway closing, resulted in the double track project on Bogor–Cicurug section. ^[1]

Starting 1 June 2022, Pangrango Train began serving Bogor Station again in order to facilitate transit of passengers from Bogor Line of the KRL Commuterline traveling to Sukabumi and vice versa. ^[7]
