Indonesian President Joko Attempts to Ride the Jakarta Bandung High Speed Rail Joko | Capital | Indonesia
On the morning of September 13th local time, Indonesian President Joko arrived at the Halim Station in the capital Jakarta, where he boarded the train and experienced the Jakarta Bandung high-speed train. This is also his first time riding the Yawan high-speed railway.
The Jakarta Bandung high-speed railway project starts from Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, and ends in the tourist city of Bandung. The total length of the line is 142.3 kilometers, with a maximum operating speed of 350 kilometers per hour. The entire line has four stations: Halim, Karawang, Padarang, and Dekarur.
After the completion and opening of the Jakarta Bandung high-speed railway, the travel time from Jakarta to Bandung will be reduced from just over 3 hours to 40 minutes, greatly alleviating intercity road traffic congestion, facilitating local people's travel, optimizing the local investment environment, and driving commercial development and tourism industry development along the line.
