JAKARTA (Xinhua): The Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway (HSR) is delivering significant benefits to Indonesia, according to the country's Minister of State-Owned Enterprises Erick Thohir.
Since its commercial operation in October 2023, the HSR has not only reduced travel time between Jakarta and Bandung, but also saved 3.2 trillion rupiah (US$197.56 million) in fuel costs annually by utilising electrical energy, Thohir stated on his social media account on Saturday.
