Comments about cost of train and profit: Guess what??? It just opened! And ridership is low without service yet to Surabaya.
Once extended to the length of the line planned to Surabaya there will be a much larger market for riders. Also, that trip will be reduced from 8 hours down to 3 aboard the Whoosh. While people in North America can only dream about such fast trains, Indonesia has already made this dream a reality with the help of China. Best of luck and blessings~!

This is the amazing high speed rail line, brand new & only open since late 2023.
China's HSR High Speed Rail network is the largest in the world. And they have the fastest trains in the world now. Yes, the Chinese HSR trains are FASTER than those in Europe including both Germany/France & yes, faster than the much talked about Shinkansen Japanese bullet trains. Whoosh is FASTER! Indonesia literally leap-frogs ahead decades ahead of other countries with this transportation. High Speed Rail is better for the planet, better for people & the best alternative to both road transport and air travel. You get the high speed travel time, and the train is a much better ride than either the bus or plane.
AWESOME WAY TO GO - Indonesia~! Whoosh YES!
