The Malioboro Express train departs at 7:45 AM and 8:45 PM from Tugu station in Yogyakarta and is always on time. Expect a train mostly occupied by locals. If you didn’t know this already, Javanese people are one of the friendliest in Indonesia.

There is an AC in every cabin, the seats are just fine and you can store your luggage in the overhead compartment. You can take a suitcase but this has to stay on the walking path, which is not the most friendly for other passengers.
