JAKARTA - Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Karyoto inspects the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train line at Halim Fast Train Station, East Jakarta. The goal is to ensure there is no potential for disturbance of security when the public facilities operate.

The Jakarta Bandung High Speed Train (KCJB) will be tested before it is finally opened to the public on August 18, 2023.

"Ensuring that if the train is tried to get close to its true speed, security is needed in its operation. So that all forms of potential disturbance must be eliminated," said Karyoto in his statement, Saturday, May 13.

The KCJB trial is planned to be carried out in the near future. However, the exact time is not yet known.

Perturbations that must be ensured do not occur, such as an open section of the route. Then, Polda Metro Jaya will also provide understanding around KCJB to people living around the route.

"Open lanes, which are close to settlements, need socialization and understanding to communities close to this fast train path," he said.

Therefore, said Karyoto, the party will inventory and socialize related to public security and safety. Especially at points that are considered vulnerable.

"So, in this case, the Polda Metro and Polda West Java must make an inventory of places that are expected to be vulnerable. So that socialization and open security is needed," said Karyoto.
