Jakarta \u2014 Skybridge Bandung has begun trial operations to support\npassenger accessibility for the Whoosh high-speed train service, which\nwill integrate with the KA Feeder railway service.<\/p>\n
The trial is being conducted by the Directorate General of Railways\n(DJKA) of the Ministry of Transport, through the Bandung Railway\nTechnical Centre Class I (BTP Bandung).<\/p>\n
Endang Setiawan, Head of Bandung Railway Technical Centre Class I,\nstated that the trial aims to prevent passenger congestion ahead of the\n2026 Eid transport season.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis operational trial is designed to streamline passenger flow so\nthat it is not concentrated at a single point,\u201d Endang said in an\nofficial statement on Wednesday (11 March 2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe use of the skybridge is also far more effective and efficient\nbecause the distance from passengers to the Feeder train is\nsignificantly reduced,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Endang explained that following this trial, as of 10 March 2026, the\nFeeder train passenger activity will transfer to the Feeder Hall of the\nHigh-Speed Train located on the eastern side of Bandung Station.<\/p>\n
Endang noted that the operational trial serves as an evaluation tool\nahead of the 2026 Eid transport season, when passenger capacity is\nexpected to increase substantially.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are constantly committed to prioritising passenger comfort and\nsafety and realising inclusive transport for the community,\u201d he\nstated.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/skybridge-bandung-undergoes-testing-whoosh-and-feeder-services-flow-more-smoothly-1773219215", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
