JAKARTA - PT KCIC revealed that the interior of the Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Train (KCJB) carries local wisdom owned by Indonesia. GM Corporate Secretary of PT KCIC Rahadian Rattry said this is an interesting thing because even though the technology is modern technology from developed countries, because it is present in Indonesia, local wisdom is considered to be something that can color the technology. "For example, the interior of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train will indeed use several ornaments that may already be known to the Indonesian people, one of which is the cover of the train seat using a megamendung motif," said Rahadian in Tegalluar, Bandung Regency, West Java, quoted from Antara, Saturday, October 1. Then the colors chosen have directed or realized local wisdom, meaning Indonesian colors. As for the exterior, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train is identified with a Komodo dragon animal as an exotic Indonesian animal. Of course, the presence of this fast train is also a matter of pride for the people of Indonesia, because local wisdom in Indonesia can be adopted and present with this modern technology. The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train consists of eight carriages. The train has several seat classes, one of which is for VIP-class seats carrying gray motifs from the world-famous Borobudur Temple concept. Previously, the Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi was proud that Indonesia became the first country in the ASEAN region to have a high-speed train, namely the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train. Budi Karya also added that the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train is a high-speed train that has a speed of 350 km/hour.
