"Passengers are looking for comfort, safety, and efficiency. For this reason, the facilities provided at each Whoosh station are designed to fulfill those needs," Chairunisa said.

She pointed out that there are service facilities such as ticket counters, vending machines, a spacious and comfortable waiting room, a commercial area for passengers to shop, prayer rooms, toilets, and a VIP room in each station.

In the commercial area, various tenants are ready to serve passengers who are waiting for the Whoosh train or the feeder transportation to arrive. Currently, there are more than 50 tenants present at the station, and 40 of them are MSMEs. More businesses will come to the station.
