Japan is keen to develop high-speed trains to enhance connectivity
between Indonesia cities, Indonesian Transportation Minister Evert
Erenst Mangindaan said.
The trains travelling at 300 km per hour are expected to connect
Jakarta to Bandung and Surabaya, Indonesian news agency ANTARA reported
Mangindaan as saying on Monday.
“We hope to implement the trains after Indonesia completes the
construction of a double-track railway line in northern Java,” the
minister said.
“Japan is also keen to build an overpass track above the double track
in the north coast area of Java. We plan to use the double track for
container trains to accelerate cargo transportation in Java, we will use
the overpass track for passenger trains,” said Mangindaan.
The government plans to use the overpass line track for passenger
trains travelling between Jakarta and Surabaya and Jakarta and Bandung.
The government anticipates the construction of a double track between
Jakarta and Surabaya will be completed by the end of the year.
