Whoosh: Indonesia's 350km/h Highspeed Train

[@Nooticus]

Very very impressive line speed being the fastest joint with Chinese lines

[@DiscoverByRail]

And a very smooth ride!

Very interesting journey, what's the most common usage - looked a bit empty from the video? Are those sorts of prices quite reasonable? Seems a bit expensive for Indonesia so maybe that was why?

[@DiscoverByRail]

There is a significant middle class in both cities. It was reasonably well used. Will be much more useful once is extends east.

@DiscoverByRail I did not know that, thanks!

[@jakmarzhall]

Always hate ignorant comment from you white people justifies everything with too expensive for this country bla bla bla without doing a litte research first. Jakartans majority is rich you muppet.

I think it's all came to the timing. Trust me, I'm an Indonesian and i use the train quite extensively and it can be packed. The ticket itself can be sold out. It's all depends on the timing, the hours and the day. We are quite unique as a nation, we don't travel unless it is extremely necessary or we travel during holiday. And most of us travel at the morning. So morning, at weekends especially when the paychecks day has come. Man, you'd be thanking god if you got a seat left.

Data wise, there are approximately around 21,000-23,000 riders per day. And from inauguration until today, whoosh has seen approximately 4 million users.
