Jakarta –

KCIC checks the suitability of tickets and the identity of passengers traveling on the Whoosh Fast Train. Checks are carried out randomly by officers at the station and conductors during the Whoosh journey.

KCIC General Manager Corporate Secretary Eva Chairunisa said ticket checks were carried out to ensure the suitability of data between passengers and their tickets. When at the station, officers will randomly check passengers’ identities before checking in.

“Apart from that, random checks will also be carried out by the conductor during the trip. Things that will be checked are the suitability of the name and identity card number on the ticket, as well as the travel schedule such as date and time of departure,” said Eva in a written statement, Sunday (31/3/2024).

Eva said this inspection was carried out as part of the Whoosh fast train security protocol. Apart from that, this inspection is also carried out to ensure that departing passengers match the existing travel manifest data.

The suitability of passenger data is also related to the travel insurance obtained by passengers. In accordance with applicable regulations, every Whoosh fast train passenger gets travel insurance as a form of guarantee for passengers. If the data does not match, the risk is that the passenger in question will not be covered by insurance.

During the socialization period, if there are passengers whose data does not match, then the passengers will be given education by the officers so that in the future they fill in the data correctly. After the socialization period, if passengers are still found whose data does not match, they will be given sanctions according to applicable regulations.

Eva appealed to the public that when ordering tickets, the data entered corresponds to the original identity document they have, namely KTP or passport. Make sure the data entered is correct before completing the ticket transaction.

“For the sake of a smooth and comfortable service process, we hope that prospective passengers can pay attention to matters related to passenger data and travel schedules. Especially before Eid transportation, the number of passengers will increase. Don’t forget to order Whoosh tickets through official channels to avoid practices brokering,” concluded Eva.

Jakarta –

Deputy Minister of BUMN Kartika Wirjoatmodjo confirmed that the cost overrun or swelling costs on the Jakarta-Bandung Whoosh Fast Train project had been covered. The funds came from a loan from PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) (KAI) from the China Development Bank (CDB) totaling around US$ 448 million or Rp. 6.98 trillion.

“The cost overrun has been covered, this is actually a loan from CDB to KAI for injection, later in the form of a shareholder loan to PT KCIC. So this was disbursed yesterday, we are in the process of lowering it,” said the man who is familiarly called Tiko when met at Ancol area, North Jakarta, Monday (19/2/2024).

For information, the cost of the Woosh project is US$ 1.2 billion or Rp. 18 trillion. Some time ago PT KAI also received state capital participation (PMN) amounting to IDR 3.2 trillion to cover the swelling of the project.

Meanwhile, the rest is just waiting for the injection of funds from the Chinese consortium, Beijing Yawan HSR Co. Ltd. “That’s enough, so then we just have to wait for Beijing Yawan’s equity deposit,” he stressed.

Tiko explained that the injection of funds from Beijing Yawan was not a new debt for KAI. Meanwhile, funds received from CDB will be forwarded by KAI to KCIC.

“No, it’s not (debt), it’s equity. This is KAI’s debt, but KAI’s debt was paid to KCIC,” he said.

Tiko added that the portion of funding sources from PMN (Capital Fund Participation) is the smallest. Tiko also ensured that there would be no additional PMN to cover the swelling costs of the fast train project.

Previously, PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI had signed a facility agreement with China Development Bank (CDB) to finance the cost overrun or swelling of the Jakarta-Bandung Fast Train project. KAI received the loan disbursement on February 7 2024.

Quoted from the Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI) information disclosure, Tuesday (13/2/2024), the disbursement on February 7 was divided into two, namely Facility A amounting to US$ 230,995,000 or around Rp. 3.60 trillion (exchange rate Rp. 15,600).

Then Facility B is RMB equivalent to US$ 217,080,000 or around Rp. 3.38 trillion. In total, the two loan facilities are around IDR 6.98 trillion.
