To provide prime public services, PT KAI must adapt to accommodate the public's needs for train transportation whilst still paying attention to passenger satisfaction by paying attention to safety and comfortability of passengers. This research method is literature study, using descriptive analysis, namely providing education and understanding to readers. The type of data used in this study is secondary data.The results show that PT KAI has implemented service standards in accordance with the Circular of the Ministry of Transportation Number 14 of 2020 concerning technical instructions for railroad transportation control during the adaptation period for new habits to prevent the spread of Covid-19 which includes: operation of rail travel, passenger capacity and health protocols in which the requirements for passengers and operators of railway infrastructure and facilities are regulated.
