The distance between Jakarta and Bandung are about 143km and Whoosh can travel between them for only around 45 minutes.

There is also a plan to extend this to go to Surabaya through Yogyakarta, but this isn't clear yet.

That's a pretty good name for a train.

I love rail in general, but this is debt diplomacy, albeit on better terms than the Chinese usually give.
