STORYLINE:

The services of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway (HSR) in Indonesia, locally known as Whoosh, have brought lots of joy for the public in the world's fourth-largest populous nation since it was officially launched about a month ago.
   
According to PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia-China (KCIC), a joint venture consortium between Indonesian and Chinese state-owned firms that constructs and runs the HSR, trains have carried about 383,000 passengers on the railway since the commercial operation started, with the highest daily occupancy rate reaching 98.7 percent.
   
The public enthusiasm was so high that KCIC needed to intensify the travel schedule up to 28 trips per weekday and 36 trips per day on weekends, from the previous 14 trips.

"I want to share my story. I have come far away from Lake Toba, Northern Sumatra. I want to take the train. But today's tickets have already been sold out." 

The first HSR in Indonesia as well as in Southeast Asia was officially inaugurated on Oct. 17. With a design speed of 350 km per hour, it connects Halim station in Jakarta to Tegalluar station in Bandung.
