"For prospective customers who have run out of desired tickets, they can take advantage of the Connecting Train feature in the Access by KAI application, which will help provide alternative train journeys by combining connecting train schedules. 'During this peak season period, KAI urges customers to manage their time by not arriving too early at the departure station. This is to anticipate customer congestion at departure stations,' said Joni."
