President Prabowo Subianto Wednesday evening (08/07) departed for West Java Province for a working visit.

On that occasion, the Head of State’s departure was special as he traveled not by plane or helicopter, but by the high-speed train Whoosh.

Upon arrival at Whoosh Halim station, the President immediately proceeded to the second floor to tap his ticket at the entrance gate, before proceeding to the platform on the third floor.

There, train number G1057 was ready to depart promptly at 8:00 PM Western Indonesian Time, heading to Tegalluar station, Bandung regency.

The high-speed train carrying the Head of State and the entourage was not a special train, since several other regular passengers were also on board.

The trip from Halim station to Tegalluar station took approximately 45 minutes.

The speed and comfort of this high-speed train symbolize modernization in the country and demonstrate the President’s commitment to supporting the use of time-efficient public transportation.

Also accompanying President Prabowo Subianto on the trip to West Java province was Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya. (BPMI of Presidential Secretariat) (GWH/EP)
