Malang-Surabaya by train.

The Stasiun Kereta Api Malang is just across the Jalan Tugu roundabout.

It's a very small stasiun.
Eksekutif train to Jakarta(Gambir Station):Depart 16:25hrs Arrive:07:18 hrs.
Eksekutif train to Yogyarkarta(Tugu Station):Depart 16:25hrs Arrive:23:28hrs.
Ekonomi train to Surabaya(Gubeng Station):Depart: 08:30hrs, 10:30hrs, 12:30hrs,14:30hrs and 16:30hrs....4,500rupiah.



There is a train schedule signboard with detailed departure and arrival.The economy class ticketing counter opens an hour before each train departure time.  
TUJUAN is an Indon word for destination.
Since the departure time for Yogyarkarta was very late,I've decided to return to Surabaya.
Unfortunately I've missed the great Buddhist event,Hari Waisak(Wesak Day) which was said to be a grand scale celebration at the Unesco heritage site of Chandi Borobodur.

Below were some of the photos extracted from the local newspaper.
