        "content": "<p>Bandung (ANTARA) \u2013 PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC) is\ndeveloping two new access routes to Whoosh Karawang Station, linking it\nwith the Trans Heksa Karawang and Deltamas areas. The routes are\nintended to make travel easier for residents and increase passenger\nnumbers.<\/p>\n<p>KCIC General Manager for Corporate Secretary Eva Chairunisa said the\ntwo routes are under construction and are being developed in cooperation\nwith the government and other relevant parties. They are intended to\nstrengthen the station\u2019s links with surrounding industrial areas,\nresidential neighbourhoods and economic centres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new access routes are expected to give people more travel\noptions, particularly those coming from nearby industrial and\nresidential areas,\u201d Eva said in a statement received in Bandung on\nWednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The route through the Trans Heksa Karawang area is being developed\nover a distance of about 1.6 kilometres, providing a wider and more\ncomfortable road than the access currently available, Eva said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the route from Deltamas will extend for about three\nkilometres via the Cibeet Bridge, providing a more direct connection\nbetween industrial, business and residential areas in Bekasi Regency and\nWhoosh Karawang Station.<\/p>\n<p>At present, people travelling from Deltamas and surrounding areas\nhave to make a detour via the Karawang Barat Toll Gate to reach the\nstation, as there is no direct road access. The new route is expected to\noffer a shorter and more efficient alternative.<\/p>\n<p>KCIC recorded around 258,000 departing and arriving passengers at\nKarawang Station from January to September 2026, averaging about 1,000\npassengers a day.<\/p>\n<p>Eva said Whoosh services run every hour, with the journey from Halim\nStation to Karawang Station taking about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith improved connectivity, we hope Karawang Station will be able to\nserve more people, particularly in the industrial and residential areas\nthat continue to grow,\u201d she said.<\/p>",
