Prepare This Much Money If You Want to Take the Jakarta Bandung Fast Train

"Prepare this much money if you want to take the Jakarta Bandung fast train"

Dream - The government targets the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Train (KCJB) to be operational in October 2023. However, it is not known how much the ticket for this train will cost. PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC) proposes a tariff package (bundling) for the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Train (KCJB) at Rp300,000 per passenger. This amount includes the light rail transit (LRT) transportation service and feeder trains.

"We propose Rp300 thousand, including feeder, LRT. But we are still discussing it with PT KAI and LRT,"

While for the high-speed train fare alone without feeder and LRT, Dwiyana said they proposed Rp250,000 per passenger for premium economy class. In addition to those two ticket categories, KCIC also proposed dynamic pricing for the main class and business class.

"Because first class and business class always use dynamic pricing. Because the segments are different, it is segmented if that's the case,"

word Dwiyana.

Although so, all tariff groups proposed by KCIC are still considered as suggestions. KCIC is still discussing the amount of high-speed train tariffs together with the Ministry of Transportation, PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI, and other related parties, such as PT LRT Jakarta.

There is no ticket fare subsidy.

After conducting a trial journey using KCJB yesterday, President Jokowi affirmed that the government will not provide subsidies for high-speed train tickets. "There will be no subsidies," said Jokowi at the Padalarang High-Speed Train Station, West Bandung, West Java. Although this may potentially result in expensive ticket prices, Jokowi stated that the fares will be carefully calculated to ensure that this transportation is accessible to the public.

"Everything has its calculations, everything has its calculations. It should. But whatever is most important, we want to encourage the public to switch from cars to mass transportation, be it high-speed trains, MRT, LRT, buses,"
said Jokowi

Jokowi hopes that with the operation of KCJB, it can encourage people to switch to mass transportation, thus reducing congestion and air pollution.

"The traffic congestion on the roads can be reduced, the pollution can be reduced. The direction is there because every year we lose, due to the traffic jams in Jabodetabek and Bandung, it has exceeded (economic losses due to traffic congestion) Rp100 trillion."
Jokowi. Translation: Jokowi.
