As Li traveled from Halim to Karawang station, the train traveled at its peak speed of 329 km per hour.

Incremental speed tests have been conducted since the start of joint commissioning and testing on May 22. Based on the test results so far, these systems have met the design requirements, which provide strong support for subsequent operation trials and opening for service.

Ferri Limputra, president director of Pura Mayungan Group of Companies in Jakarta, told China Daily that he is happy to note that the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway will start operations soon. "I am certain about its impact on the economic growth of our country."

He said that he hoped this will be a start for Indonesia to be connected efficiently and effectively, and to"get connected like in China".
