Indonesia High Speed Train

Workers use a measuring line at the construction site of Halim Station ahead of an operational test run of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train in September, in Jakarta, Indonesia, Saturday, Aug. 12, 2023. The first high-speed rail service in Southeast Asia, which is being constructed by PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia-China (PT KCIC), a joint venture between an Indonesian consortium of four state-owned companies and China Railway International Co. Ltd., is part of China's Belt and Road infrastructure initiative and will connect Indonesia's capital Jakarta and Bandung, the heavily populated capital of West Java province. The railway line will cut travel time between the two cities from the current three hours to about 40 minutes. (AP Photo/Dita Alangkara) JAK103
