The Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway, built by China and Indonesia, has transported over 8 million passengers, with an average occupancy of over 60% and a peak of 24,400 passengers daily. This achievement showcases successful international expansion of high-speed rail and highlights deep cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative. The railway uses Fuxing technology, operating at 350 km/h, and reduces travel time from Jakarta to Bandung to 46 minutes.
Economically, Karawang Station connects industrial parks, boosting logistics and regional growth. The tourism sector has also thrived with increased train services, making travel easier for visitors.
Culturally, Indonesian and Chinese employees celebrated together during the Spring Festival, reflecting their friendship. The railway serves as a transport link and a bridge for cultural exchange.
Reaching 8 million passengers is a significant milestone, representing mutual benefits of the Belt and Road Initiative. There is hope that more countries will benefit from high-speed rail technology in the future.
