JAKARTA - PT KCIC revealed that there will also be involvement of property developers around the Jakarta-Bandung fast train line to create accessibility to each fast train station starting from Tegalluar to Halim Perdanakusuma.

"Of course our cooperation, with the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing, the Ministry of BUMN, the Ministry of Transportation, the Coordinating Ministry for Marine Affairs and Fisheries, with local governments, developers and hotel associations is no less important to create good accessibility at the four existing stations," said PT KCIC Director Dwiyana Slamet Riyadi in Tegalluar, Bandung Regency, quoted from Antara, Friday, August 11.

He explained that for Tegalluar Station, in addition to opening access via the Cibiru Hilir Bridge which was inaugurated today to connect with the Gedebage area, and in the future the Summarecon developer will open a toll gate in the Gedebage area with the government.

"In the short term, the KM 149 toll exit will be opened. In the future, the exit 151A toll road will be built, so if you are coming from Bandung and Jakarta, exit at the toll exit and use the Cibiru Hilir Bridge to go to Tegalluar Station. In addition, Summarecon and the hotel association will organize a shuttle bus go straight to Tegalluar Station," he said.

Meanwhile, from the opposite direction, namely Cileunyi and its surroundings, said Dwiyana, toll exit 151B will also be built, but in the form of a drop zone.

"Currently the planning and design process has been completed, the land acquisition process is being prepared," he said.

For Padalarang Station, where currently there is only access to the existing route (Padalarang Station Road), said Dwiyana, later the developer will work with Kota Baru Parahyangan to build an access road that connects the residential area to the high-speed train station.

"Now the planning process has been completed, and is in the middle of the land acquisition process. So later there will be a direct access road from Kota Baru Parahyangan to Padalarang Station," he said.

Then for Karawang Station, Dwiyana said, the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) and Jasa Marga will open toll gates around KM 42, plus access from Deltamas developers, industrial areas, and surrounding housing.

As for Halim Perdanakusumah Station, called Dwiyana, it will later become an ideal station in terms of accessibility where there will be an overpass from Jalan DI Panjaitan which can be accessed from all directions of Jakarta City.

"The progress is 90 percent. Then for the toll road there will be a toll exit at KM 1 +850 by the Ministry of PUPR and Jasa Marga which we hope will be completed in September 2023. Then accessibility with other modes at Halim is integrated with the LRT which can be accessed by the people of Jakarta , Depok and Bekasi in a short time," he said.

For information, as of the end of July 2023, the construction of the Fast Train infrastructure has reached 95.57 percent, and currently the testing and commissioning process of the train series or trials is continuing with speeds reaching 350 km per hour.
