BANDUNG - Gedebage Station in Bandung City, West Java, began transporting passengers for the Bandung Raya Commuter Line Train trip after the implementation of the 2023 Railway Travel Graph (Gapeka) by PT KAIDaerah Operasi (Daop) 2 Bandung.

Public Relations Manager of PT KAI Daop 2 Mahendro Trang Bawono said Gapeka 2023 will take effect on June 1, 2023. Previously, Gedebage Station was not used as passenger transportation, but as goods transportation.

"Gapeka 2023 has been implemented, Gedebage Station has started operating to transport and drop passengers," said Mahendro in Bandung, West Java, as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, June 1.
