JAKARTA - Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi revealed that after inaugurating the Jabodebek LRT, it will be continued with the inauguration of the Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Train (KCJB).

As is known, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) inaugurated the Jabodebek LRT today. The inauguration was carried out at Cawang Station, Jakarta.

Furthermore, Budi said that various modes of transportation with this technology were present thanks to Jokowi's courage and leadership in building transportation in Indonesia.

"Thanks to his leadership and courage after we start the MRT, now we operate the Jabodebek LRT and then soon we will use or inaugurate the Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Train," he said as quoted from the Presidential Secretariat's YouTube, Jakarta, Monday, August 28.

Budi said the development of this increasingly advanced mode of transportation is part of Indonesia's efforts to make domestic transportation modes more environmentally friendly.

"The Jabodebek LRT is our effort to achieve environmentally friendly but also prioritize safety and services, which are integrated with various other modes of transportation in the capital city and its surroundings," he explained.

For your information, before being inaugurated in October 2002, three of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed trains will conduct a series of preoperative trials in early September 2023.

This trial is intended for people living around the tracks that are crossed by the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train.
