[3][4] Due to the increasing demand from commuters, the rail service was relaunched as Prameks train on 20 May 1994, connects Solo and Yogyakarta.

In 2006, the diesel-electric multiple units (DMUs) made by PT Inka Madiun was introduced to support Prameks.

Citing the higher enthusiasm of passengers using this train, in 2007 Prameks began opening the Yogyakarta-Kutoarjo-Solo (and vice versa) route.

While Prambanan Express still serving Yogyakarta, Kutoarjo, and Solo, the train is a mainstay of public transport for the community in these three cities.

[9][10] As the Surakarta–Yogyakarta railway line is electrified, Prambanan Express operations is replaced by the KRL Commuterline Yogyakarta–Solo starting from 10 February 2021.
