JAKARTA - Indonesia’s first high-speed rail linking the capital Jakarta and the country’s fourth-most populous city, Bandung, will begin operations in early October, with the aim of reducing huge economic losses caused by severe traffic jams in both cities, among other issues.
“It’s comfortable. We ran at a speed of 350kmh. Didn’t feel anything at all. We expect this to open for the public in early October,” Mr Widodo told reporters at Padalarang station, during the first leg of his round trip. His entourage departed at 9am local time . Mr Widodo’s trip on Wednesday was preceded by a series of comprehensive trials, with the speed of 180kmh first clocked in May and gradually raised to the maximum speed of 385kmh the following month.
The 30-minute train ride from Halim station in East Jakarta to Padalarang station was followed by a 20-minute feeder train trip to reach Bandung’s city centre.“Ticket fares of the high-speed rail must be kept affordable, otherwise the facility would be used only for tourism, while commuters would shun it,” said Mr Muhammad Abi Berkah Nadi, who teaches railway mechanical engineering at Institut Teknologi Sumatera in Lampung province in Sumatra.
Indonesian state companies, including rail operator KAI and construction company Wijaya Karya, control 60 per cent of project consortium KCIC, while China Railway Engineering Corporation and other Chinese companies hold the remaining stake.
