Batara Kresna Railbus (Indonesian: Bus rel Batara Kresna) is a railbus service in Central Java, Indonesia that operates between Purwosari Station in Surakarta and Wonogiri Station in Wonogiri Regency. It is operated by PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) and is a cooperation project between the Surakarta city government and KAI, when the city was led by Joko Widodo.[1] The service is the one of a few railbus service in Indonesia besides Lembah Anai railbus in West Sumatra and former Kertalaya railbus in South Sumatra.
The railbus took its name from a character in Mahabharata, Krishna or Kresna who is tasked with saving the world and upholding the truth after the war in Kurukshetra.
