Dream - Good news for travelers from Jakarta to Bekasi or vice versa. LRT Jabodebek plans to implement a Rp1 fare during the trial period from July 12 to August 17, 2023.

Head of LRT Jabodebek Division, Mochamad Purnomosidi, said that people who want to try this new mode of transportation with a fare of only 1 penny can register starting from July 1, 2023. The registration process is done through the social media account managed by LRT Jabodebek.

"Possibly on the 1st (registration), we are currently working on the scheme," said Purnomosidi as quoted from Merdeka.com, Wednesday, June 28, 2023.

 

During the trial period, the number of passengers on LRT Jabodebek will be limited to 150 to 200 people per day.

The trial fare imposed by the LRT management is much cheaper compared to the cost when the transportation mode is operating normally.

The LRT management has set the farthest fare for passengers at Rp15,000, previously Rp12,000. The fare amount is based on the final result.

"Yesterday, the average fare was set at Rp15,000," he said.

Previously, coinciding with the 496th Jakarta Anniversary on Thursday, June 22, 2023, the Jakarta Provincial Government has implemented a Rp1 fare for public transportation such as TransJakarta, MRT, and LRT. The service is valid on June 22, 2023, from 00:00 to 23:59 WIB.

"Actually, it's free, but because it is related to transaction records, it is charged only one rupiah," said the Head of DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo.

Great! Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Train Fare is Free Until October 2023

Dream - West Java Governor, Ridwan Kamil, said that the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Train (KCJB) fare 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 18 to October," wrote Ridwan Kamil through 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 carried out immediately," he said.

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

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

 

The Sophistication of the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Train, Speeding at 300 km/h but Minimizing Vibration, Coins Can Stand Steadily

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 travels at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour.

Despite its high speed, this train is very low in vibrations. In a video shared on Instagram by West Java Governor, Ridwan Kamil, it can even be seen that a coin can stand steadily when 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 traveled in less than 30 minutes.

“LESS THAN 30 MINUTES TO ARRIVE, the speed test of the Jakarta Halim-Bandung Station high-speed train at 300 km/h,” wrote Ridwan Kamil, Wednesday, June 21, 2023.

The video shows someone placing a Rp500 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 also two coins placed standing near the window and both do not fall. In addition, there are also two cups of drink whose water does not appear to shake when the train is moving.

This indicates that the KCJB, which is still in the testing phase, has very minimal vibrations despite its 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, but the appearance inside the high-speed train also attracts public attention. Starting from seats that are shaped like sofas, making them more comfortable than regular trains, to its very modern interior design.
