00:05 Jakarta-Bandung Express Train officially opened after President Joko Widodo inaugurated it on Monday, October 2, 2023
00:12 However, the public could only see this bright light from Tuesday, October 3, 2023
00:18 In addition to the presence of the President, the inauguration of the express train was welcomed by hundreds of senior citizens
00:24 Although it has been officially announced, the Indonesian Express Train Company or KCIC said it will withdraw the service fee for express train passengers after October 18
00:34 According to Tempo, the express train fare will be reduced from IDR 300,000 per person to the lowest class
00:41 Although claiming that the express train operation is ready, KCIC faces other problems, namely the projection of passenger numbers
00:49 Early September, KCIC issued a revision of daily passenger targets from 31,000 to 10,000
00:56 This revision is the second time
00:58 Last December, in the DPR building, KCIC Chief Executive Duwiana Selamat Riyadi said
01:04 The reduction of passenger number targets from 60,000 to around 30,000 people per day
01:09 When asked for confirmation last September, Duwiana did not deny the change in the target
01:16 He stated that the company will continue to evaluate passenger targets based on the real conditions faced
01:21 This change in target is also referred to as a daily express train operation pattern
01:25 Director Executive Institute of Transportation Studies, Dedy Herlambang said
01:31 KCIC and the government must make additional efforts to attract the interest of express train passengers
01:37 One of the crucial efforts that can be done at the beginning of the operation is the implementation of a discount on the express train fare
01:43 The reason, he said, is that the public is still in the process of getting to know the new mode of transportation
01:48 Especially with limited service readiness
01:51 He pointed out that there are still Karawang stations that have not yet been operated, as well as the number of unideal passenger carriers
01:57 The Chairperson of the Jakarta City Transportation Board, Sutanto Suhodo, stated
02:02 Giving stimulus can be a safe strategy to increase the occupation of express trains
02:07 However, he reminded KCIC to calculate with the right time to adjust the tariff because the operational cost of this express train is not cheap
02:15 What is no less important, he continued, is to add income by expanding to other cities
02:21 Sutanto said the range of KCIB cooperation is too short, so the competition with other modes is very tight
02:27 The Grand Master of the Department of Transportation, Faculty of Technology, University of Indonesia said
02:32 Jakarta-Bandung Express Train is not just an operation, but also has to produce profits so as not to go bankrupt
02:38 Jakarta-Bandung Express Train is not just an operation, but also has to produce profits so as not to go bankrupt
02:44 Jakarta-Bandung Express Train is not just an operation, but also has to produce profits so as not to go bankrupt
02:50 Jakarta-Bandung Express Train is not just an operation, but also has to produce profits so as not to go bankrupt
