Commuter Line Bandung Route

The Greater Bandung Commuter Line (Indonesian: Commuter Line Bandung Raya) is a commuter rail service in West Java, Indonesia operated by KAI Commuter Region 2 Bandung, which serves the PurwakartaPadalarangCicalengka route. This train stops at every station it passes except Andir Station which is still under construction.

The Directorate General of Railways of the Ministry of Transportation, through the Bandung Railway Engineering Center, and the Bandung City Government will soon electrify this service into an electric-powered KRL Commuterline system, similar to those in Greater Jakarta and YogyakartaSolo. The plan will start in 2024 with the first phase in the PadalarangBandung plot and continued with the second phase in the BandungCicalengka plot. This plan is also expected to help connect the Whoosh high speed train service as an alternative to and from the Bandung city center.[2]
