transportation modes with a total number of 246,676,000 passengers in 2019. In
Yogyakarta there are two large stations that serve train passenger travel, namely the
Yogyakarta Tugu Station and the Yogyakarta Lempuyangan Station. Along with
the development of the city of Yogyakarta and economic growth, the number of
train passengers in Yogyakarta has been increasing every year. This research was

Indonesia and socioeconomic data of the Yogyakarta Special Region Province from
the Central Statistics Agency in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province. The
data that was successfully obtained is then processed using the Linear Regression
Analysis method and the All Possible Regression (APRE) method.
