Number of fast train trips reduced, here's the reason

Jakarta – PT KCIC reduces the number of fast train travel schedules. This reduced schedule is intended to increase the maintenance time. During this period, the first trip from Halim station, which usually leaves at 06.25 WIB, now starts at 08.00 WIB. Then the fast train of Tegalluar Station, which was previously at 06.05 WIB, became 07.35 WIB. KCIC said there was an adjustment to the number of daily trips. From the usual 62 trips per day to 56 trips per day.

Eva explained that the schedule adjustments were made as part of KCIC’s commitment to maintaining operational reliability and safety. With the additional time, the exam can be more detailed. “WhosH is a high velocity train that relies on a sophisticated technological system so that the safety aspect is non-negotiable. Through long window time, our team has extra time to perform extensive and detailed inspections of all infrastructure and facilities using high-tech equipment,” Eva said. In operational practice, window time is a time interval used to carry out inspections and maintenance of different operational facilities, such as rail lines, signaling systems, overhead power (LAA), bridges, tunnels, drainage and soundproofing. He also said that routine checks were performed by a team of certified technicians every Monday to Saturday at 00.00-04.00 WIB, while expanding on Sundays to 07.00 WIB so that maintenance could be performed more thoroughly. Eva added that the adjustment to the schedule also takes into account the relatively lower passenger occupation in the morning. “Our evaluation shows that the implementation of long window time does not have a significant impact on the occupation or public interest. This policy is in fact a form of KCIC’s responsibility to ensure that Whyoosh services remain safe, reliable and in time,” he explained. (RDP/IMK)
