Zoko stated that with the joint efforts of all parties involved in the construction, the Yawan high-speed railway will officially enter commercial operation in early October. I have visited the Yawan high-speed rail four times, and this is my first time riding it. The high-speed rail is very comfortable, and I didn't feel any bumps when I reached a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. Whether standing or sitting, this is progress in civilization. I hope that Indonesian people can use more public transportation and take the Jakarta Bandung high-speed railway to alleviate the traffic pressure between Jakarta and Bandung.

The Yawan high-speed railway is the first high-speed railway between Indonesia and Southeast Asia, connecting the Indonesian capital Jakarta and the tourist city Bandung. The total length of the line is 142.3 kilometers, with a maximum operating speed of 350 kilometers per hour and a maximum operating speed of 350 kilometers per hour. The high-speed rail multiple unit is designed and manufactured by a Chinese enterprise using advanced and mature technology of the Chinese standard multiple unit of the Fuxing train with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, adapting to the operating environment and line conditions in Indonesia, and integrating local Indonesian culture. It has the characteristics of advanced technology, safety and comfort. Editor/Zhao E
