Taking information from Kompas.com, "The South Gate of Gambir Station specifically serves Boarding Face Recognition. Manual boarding services will later be served at the North Gate of Gambir Station," said Daily Executive Manager of Public Relations of KAI Daop 1 Jakarta Feni Novida Saragih.

Face Recognition Boarding Service is a Facility Equipped with Cameras

For information, the Face Recognition Boarding service is a facility equipped with cameras. This facility serves to identify and validate a person's identity through facial scanning.

This identified facial data has been integrated with prospective passengers' ticket data in the KAI boarding system. "This service will later be found in the ticket check area," said Feni.

Also, read: The hiking trail to Mount Semeru will be open, although only until Ranu Kumbolo.

The boarding process by scanning this face, he continued, is considered more practical because prospective passengers do not need to show identity cards and physical proof of tickets.

It is hoped that this facility will be able to make it easier for prospective travelers to travel.

"The boarding process will be faster, more practical, and does not require manual verification. This will make customers more comfortable in enjoying the travel process using KAI," explained Feni.
