2. Jakarta-Surabaya High-Speed Rail to Be More Lucrative than Jakarta-Bandung HSR: Observer
Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said he had formed a team to work on the Jakarta-Surabaya high-speed rail (HSR) project. Several transportation observers also commented on the extended project of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train.
Deddy Herlambang, a transportation observer from the Indonesian Transportation Society (MTI), assessed that the new bullet train connecting Jakarta and Surabaya in Central Java will be more lucrative than the existing one serving the Jakarta-Bandung route.
This is because the high-speed train should traverse a considerable distance of at least 800 kilometers. “Instead of just 147 kilometers from Halim-Tegalluar (Jakarta-Bandung HSR),” Deddy told Tempo on Wednesday, April 24, 2024.
