Time series forecasting is essential for analyzing past data to predict future trends, supporting planning, and decision-making. The SARIMA model is widely used for seasonal data but may be less effective for highly fluctuating or non-stationary data, which can impact forecast accuracy. As an alternative, Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) offers a flexible approach, decomposing time series into trend, seasonal, and noise components without strict parametric assumptions, making it effective for complex data patterns. This study compares SARIMA and SSA models in forecasting daily passenger counts on the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail, using data from November 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024. The results show that the performance of SSA is more stable compared to SARIMA in the term of MAPE, where SSA provides lower MAPE then SARIMA in all three scenarios of data splits. These results are expected due to the non-linear pattern that appears in the data. Moreover, the predictions on both methods show that slight increment of passengers in the end of 2024 to the beginning of 2025. This finding suggests that the government needs to consider implementing interventions if they wish to change the current trend, such as offering discounts or year-end holiday promotions.
