Indonesia operates a single high-speed rail service between two of the country's largest cities, Jakarta and Bandung . It is branded as Whoosh (short for Waktu Hemat, Operasi Optimal, Sistem Hebat , lit. ' Timesaving, Optimal Operation, Outstanding System ' )[ 7] [ 8] [ 9] and operated by Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC).[ 10]
Whoosh is the first high-speed railway in Southeast Asia ,[ 11] and the Southern Hemisphere ,[ 12] as well as being the only high-speed railway in the Southern Hemisphere. It covers a distance of 143 kilometres (89 mi) with a maximum operating speed of 350 km/h (220 mph),[ 13] [ 4] [ 14] and design speed of KCIC400AF train of 420 km/h (260 mph),[ 6] [ 15]
making it the second fastest commercially operating railway network in the world.[ 16]
The travel time between the two cities averages 45 minutes, down from 3 hours with existing railway line.[ 12]
