JAKARTA - The Jakarta Bandung (KCJB) high-speed train will operate commercially in October.

A number of supporting facilities around the fast train station are being prepared, including access to the station.

Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir highlighted supporting facilities around the station.

One of the things that his party encourages is the construction of facilities at Tegalluar Station.

For your information, KCJB has four stations. The details are Halim Station, Kawarang Station, Padalarang Hub Station and Tegalluar Station.

"We continue to encourage the construction of supporting facilities around Tegalluar Station, Bandung, West Java so that people are more comfortable when using trains," Erick wrote, quoted from his official Instagram account @erickthohir, Monday, July 24.

Erick said that the construction of supporting facilities around this station is needed so that people want to use public transportation.

"This is our business to make people use public transportation more often," he said.

He also requested that access to and from KCJB stations be made easier.

"For this fast train it's the same. Station points access from users can be easy," he explained.

Previously, Erick Thohir did highlight access to and from Tegalluar Station.

He said, it is necessary to think about access, so that the community is not confused when taking the high-speed train.

"If the high-speed train operates in September-October, what kind of exit must be from Tegalluar Station. Don't let the operation of people getting off the high-speed train or not be able to," said Erick some time ago.

This access is for the supporter who departs from Jakarta and ends his journey at Tegalluar Station. Likewise, from Bandung to Tegalluar Station, road access is also needed.
