Meanwhile, according to Jason: "I boarded a high-speed bullet train in Jakarta! This travel experience was not what I expected. It was super luxurious and modern, not only in first class but also in business class. This bullet train can reach a top speed of 350km/h, which is truly impressive. You don't really feel like you're traveling that fast when you're inside the train carriage.
Furthermore, he also said:"I started my journey at Halim Station in Jakarta and headed to Tegalluar in Bandung. What used to take three hours now only takes 40 minutes. This is an incredible improvement in travel time. The price is 600,000 Rupiah, which is about $37. For first class, I think it's an absolute bargain. I was very excited to see this Jakarta bullet train.
"I arrived very early at Halim Station, which was very clean and modern. I grabbed an iced coffee and walked to the VIP lounge inside the station. After about 30 minutes of waiting in the VIP lounge, it was time to board the bullet train. Seeing this magnificent train in real life was truly amazing, it looked very futuristic and modern. There were many people taking photos in front of the train." he said.
Once on board, I found the first-class cabin to be very beautiful and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Even though the journey was only 40 minutes, you still get a box of snacks that includes bread, apple juice, and water. After a smooth train ride, we arrived at Padalarang Station, where I then switched to a regular slow train to take me to the city center of Bandung.
"This transportation is a unique and luxurious travel experience! I highly recommend this Indonesian bullet train. The first-class train cabin is excellent and I highly recommend it for your journey from Jakarta to Bandung."he emphasized on the YouTube channel.
