Few weeks ago, GNFI posted about the first ever Hydrogen High-Speed Train. Well, I just figured out in Google, that the speed of it can surpass the speed of Japan’s bullet train Shinkansen, and European speed train AGV. The $3 billion project will commence sometimes in 2011, and the train will connect Jakarta-Bandung-Cirebon, which is also considered to be extended all the way to the east part of Java Island, with the elevated pad way span around 370 km.
It is going to be the first ever of its kind, on the whole earth.
This train will accommodate 250 passengers inside each unit.

blah blah blah… don’t believe the press release from the government… probably just another failed project like the Jakarta monorail…
Well i hope not, as the MOU has already been signed. Monorail was indeed a flap, and the project started even the money was still on searching. Now, it is different. Let’s hope we can start being really proud of Indonesia.
is there any particular reason why rather than adapted other well known, well tested solutions such as Shinkansen, AGV, etc
Indonesia chose something that still lives only on the drawing board ??
i do know the pride of being the 1st and the only (if that could’ve helped)
but in this matter, chosing the well tested & well known & well applied technology
is better.
unless probably Indonesia’s Govt are willing to pouring in almost unlimited amounts of monies for debugging processes..
than i’ve been told over and over again, Indonesia’s budgeting is very limited. (pun intended)
kalo yang satu ini kayaknya beneran dh…soalnya perjanjiannya udah ditandatangani di LA..tinggal ngebangun rel nya aja
indonesia also wants to build shinkansen…from jakarta to surabaya..maybe in 2020.
Jakarta Citizen, do you have the link of Indo Shinkanzen?
you google it for the indonesia shinkansen,,,but okay…i will help..\

and one more thing that you guys should know! that we build our own bullet train(shinkansen)…not buy it or something…so that’s awesome!!
so BRAVO PT.INKA!!
Amenn
As long as its railspan is elevated high enough from the slums and the material is rigid enough from thefts, then we can ensure we have our own dream of bullet-speed transport realized.
