Indonesia's Insane $7BN High Speed Rail Project

[@TheImpossibleBuild]

Are there any other countries building such impressive high speed train projects?

[@LawanaWita]

350 KM/H on daily operational, not 260 KM/H

[@simpleman6327]

Thailand and India. You can make a report, too

[@davidjackson7281]

To name a 'few' from Wikipedia that frankly are most likely more impressive (given Indonesia has begun with only 88.8 miles): China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Morocco, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, California and the several European countries including the usual legacy states.

The HSR whoosh is to be extended in 2024, eastward to Surabaya (capital city of East Java province). It is planned to pass Kertajati newly built west java airport, city of Purwokerto then to Jogjakarta, Surakarta/Solo and Surabaya. A distance of more than 700Km+ from Bandung.

[@user-ei5qm7ni7q]

One of the best advantage is how business meetings can be done either in Jakarta or Bandung within a day. A 3 hours drive which mean 6 hours moving back and forth not including the regular congestion and the intensive use of gasoline consumption especially for private transport pushes people to stay for a night that cost both money and time.

[@domtweed7323]

Less marketing talk, more technical details, please. The engineering choices about the route would be particularly interesting to know.

[@stevenlee3278]

Right. The first few minutes felt like the same sentence was being repeated

[@argacc20417]

Why did they choose those route is because money, jakarta bandung, is one of high traffic route. before covid, the conventional train ticket mostly sold out 1 month before departure, and the train between jakarta and bandung runs every 1-2 hour from 4 or 5 in the morning until midnight. At the weekend, jakarta bandung by car can be 5-6 hours for 140km because traffic jam

[@user-ei5qm7ni7q]

It's not B1M I guess

[@luarbiasawaras8700]

The route was choosen for economic reason, its the highest traffic routes from jakarta to another big city, from engineering point of view its a difficult route , because the rail has to go tru mountains. A lot of bridges and tunnel has to be built

[@dhannyhalim9892]

@@argacc20417 just want to correct, conventional ticket train is not sold out in 1 month, there is always available ticket, but yeah the train will about 90% fulled during weekend, and it take 3 hours journey About the car journey it actually only take 2-3 hours to Bandung, with traffic in the weekend can spend about 4-5 hours, 5-6 hours is rarely happened

[@museltimes9061]

This project has another line through the south line of the Java island. In the north line, Indonesia will build another train line with a maximum speed of 250 km/h using INKA train production!

I think the tracks still need to be extended to Surabaya trough another major city like Semarang for them to be able to achieve their economic and environmental goals. I mean the price of plane tickets from Surabaya to Jakarta is almost the same or even cheaper than executive class train (the fastest one is Agro Bromo Anggrek 100-120 km/h operational speed), and the plane only takes 1hr meanwhile the train takes 8hr.

Dengan jumlah penumpang yang demikian banyak memang memberi kesejukan dan melegakan hasil jerih payah pihak yang terlibat dalam membangun fasilitas transportasi massal bagi masyarakat, bg rasa tanggung jawab pemerintah thd warganya dengan "tidak menitik beratkan untung rugi", namun bagaikan orang tua yg memfasilitasi anaknya supaya memiliki kemudahan dalam kegiatan mereka se hari², tanpa memperhitungkan doal biaya yg dikeluarkan...... Tapi bagi seorang sarjana/ahli ekonomi Faisal Basri opini/pandangannya lain karena orientasinya melulu pada uang/biaya pengadaan fasilitas transportasi tsb. Menurutnya biaya yang digelontorkan untuk proyek tsb, sampai dunia kiamatpun modal pembangunannya tidak akan kembali.....jadi tidak berorientasi pada pelayan untuk masyarakat itu tidak harus selalu cari untung atau modal harus balik...... wuaalaaah....!
