WHOOSH, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway (HSR) service, will have 62 daily trips starting Feb 1, 2025, a company official said.
“This expanded schedule aims to make it easier for passengers to use Whoosh services by offering more options, enhancing flexibility and ensuring travel comfort as the numbers continue to grow,” said Eva Chairunisa, general manager corporate secretary of PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China.
Eva noted 7.5 million passengers have been served since the HSR began commercial operations in October 2023.
Since May 2024, Whoosh has been operating 48 daily trips, up from the initial 14 at its launch.
Whoosh is the first high-speed railway in Indonesia and South-East Asia, reaching up to 350kph.
It cuts the travel time between Jakarta and Bandung from three hours to just 40 minutes. — Xinhua
