Dream - The Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, announced that the fare for the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Train (KCJB) will be free during the soft operation period until October 2023.

“FREE FOR THE FIRST 3 MONTHS, for people who want to try the Jakarta Bandung High-Speed Train. From August 18th to October,” wrote Ridwan Kamil on his Instagram account, @ridwankamil, quoted on Friday, June 23, 2023.

Ridwan stated that this idea has been approved by the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan.

The government will also continue the construction of the Jakarta-Surabaya High-Speed Train.

“Phase 2 is Bandung-Kertajati-Yogyakarta-Solo-Surabaya. The feasibility study has been agreed to be conducted soon,” he revealed.

According to Ridwan, the speed of the high-speed train is extraordinary, where the Halim to Padalarang route can be covered in just 20 minutes.

“354 km/hr is the speed this afternoon when testing this high-speed train. Extraordinary. Halim-Padalarang is only about 20 minutes,” he said.

 

Advantages of the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Train, Speeding at 300 km/hr but Minimal Vibrations, Coins Can Stand Stably

Dream - The Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Train (KCJB), which is currently still in the testing phase, continues to demonstrate its advantages. The test with the Comprehensive Inspection Train (CIT) or inspection train runs at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour.

Despite its high speed, this train is actually very low in vibrations. In a video shared on Instagram by the Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, it can even be seen that a coin can stand stable while the train is moving fast.

The test was conducted from Jakarta Halim to Padalarang Station, West Java. With that speed, the Jakarta-Bandung distance can be covered in less than 30 minutes.

“LESS THAN 30 MINUTES TO ARRIVE, speed test of the 300 km/hr Jakarta Halim to Padalarang fast train,” wrote Ridwan Kamil on Wednesday, June 21, 2023.

The video shows someone placing a 500 Rupiah coin near the window in a standing position. Interestingly, inside the fast-moving train, the coin does not fall.

Not only one, but there are two coins placed standing near the window and neither of them falls. In addition, there are also two drink glasses whose water does not appear to be shaking when the train is moving.

This indicates that the KCJB, which is still in the testing phase, has very minimal vibrations even when moving at a very high speed.

“This train is very fast and has minimal vibrations, so a 500 Rupiah coin can stand perfectly without any adhesive,” wrote the former Mayor of Bandung.

Not only its sophistication, the appearance inside the high-speed train also attracts public attention. Starting from seats shaped like sofas, making it more comfortable than regular trains, to its very modern interior design.

Kang Emil, as he is familiarly called, hopes that the sophistication of this high-speed train can be experienced by the general public in August 2023.

“Hopefully, it can be inaugurated and operated in August. Amen. Please pray,” he concluded.

After being uploaded, this video has gained a lot of attention and various responses from netizens in the comment section. Many are eager to try this high-speed train.

“After going to the toilet, it's already arrived in Jakarta in 30 minutes,” wrote the account @rismansolih2.

“Hopefully, the next Indonesian leader can continue this high-speed train to Surabaya, but through Yogyakarta, of course, amen,” wrote the account @ricogalihprasetyo.

“Alhamdulillah, going from home in Bandung to work in Jakarta is now easier, can go back and forth in one hour. Thank you,” wrote the account @toni.kusnadi.

“Great job, Kang @ridwankamil. I want to try it, good luck always,” wrote the account @ardibakrie.
