JAKARTA - PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC) urges prospective Whoosh passengers to choose alternative access to Halim High Speed Train Station following the flooding of a number of roads due to heavy rain in the Jakarta area.
One of the points affected is Jalan DI Panjaitan, which is the main access to Halim Station.
The condition of the waterlogged area causes traffic congestion and has the potential to cause delays in passengers arriving at the station. KCIC considers anticipating travel time and choosing a route to be an important step so that passenger departures remain on schedule.
KCIC Corporate Secretary General Eva Chairunisa said passengers were urged to arrange their travel time early and use alternative routes that were more stable.
"We urge prospective Whoosh passengers to arrange their travel time to Halim Station early and consider using alternative routes to avoid delays due to waterlogging at the access to Jalan DI Panjaitan," Eva said in an official statement, Thursday, January 22.
As an alternative, Eva continued, passengers can use access through the Halim Toll exit which is considered more stable and not directly affected by the condition of waterlogging on the highway.
"In addition, the LRT transportation mode can also be used as an access option to Halim Station," he said.
To ensure the smooth running of services, KCIC has deployed additional officers in the station area. The officers are prepared to help passenger movement, provide safe route guidance, assist passengers in the area outside the station, and ensure passenger safety in the midst of rain and slippery surfaces.
KCIC also provides flexibility for passengers who experience delays. As long as they are within the 15-minute time limit after the departure schedule, passengers can still reschedule or reschedule at the Halim Station counter.
In terms of operations, KCIC ensures that Whoosh's services and infrastructure remain in a safe condition and are not delayed. If heavy rain occurs along the route, KCIC will implement speed restrictions as a safety mitigation measure.
"KCIC continues to monitor weather conditions and access to the station periodically and will provide updates to the public through the company's official communication channels," concluded Eva.
