Indonesian President Joko Widodo declared the official operation of the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway (HSR) at Halim Station in Jakarta Monday morning.
The Indonesian Transportation Ministry issued an operating license Friday to PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia-China, a joint venture consortium between Indonesian and Chinese state-owned firms that constructs and runs the HSR.
At the ceremony, Widodo announced the name of the HSR, "Whoosh," inspired by the sound of the train, saying that the high-speed train marks the modernization of Indonesia's transportation mode, which is efficient, environment friendly and integrated with other public transportation tools.
