Storyline: Indonesia's Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway, which marks its two-year anniversary of operation on Friday, has handles more than 12 million passenger trips, said China State Railway Group Co., Ltd. (China Railway) Friday. As a flagship project under the Belt and Road Initiative jointly developed by China and Indonesia, the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway, locally known as Whoosh, has seen its trains running safely for over 5.65 million kilometers since its commercial operation on Oct. 17, 2023. Whoosh, the first high-speed railway in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, has introduced not only a new level of mobility but also a transformative travel experience for Indonesians. The Jakarta-Bandung HSR connects Indonesia's biggest city Jakarta with Bandung in West Java Province, slashing travel time between the two cities from over three hours to just 46 minutes. With a maximum operating speed of 350 km/h, the railway offers a safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly travel option. In response to rising travel demand, PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia-China (KCIC), a joint venture consortium between Indonesian and Chinese firms that constructs and operates the railway, has continuously optimized train schedules and expanded capacity. The daily number of trains has increased from 14 at launch to 62, with seating capacity rising from 8,400 to over 37,000. The railway reached a record of 26,700 passengers in a single day, with peak occupancy rates as high as 99.64 percent. To support long-term localized operations, the Chinese side has provided comprehensive training to Indonesian staff through theoretical courses, simulation drills, and on-the-job mentorship. So far, 600 Indonesian trainees have completed certification programs, with 263 receiving official recognition from Indonesia's Ministry of Transportation. Passenger services have also been upgraded. Online ticketing and refund options have been introduced alongside traditional ticket counters, with support for multiple payment methods. Station facilities have been improved for smoother boarding and transfers, including better integration with taxis, light rail, and conventional rail systems.
