The Indonesia-China High-Speed Rail (KCIC), Indonesia's First High-Speed Rail Project

The first high-speed train in Indonesia is named Whoosh, inspired by the sound it makes when speeding along. Whoosh stands for Waktu Hemat, Operasi Optimal, Sistem Hebat, which translates to Time Savings, Optimal Operation, Great System. The Whoosh high-speed train is a result of collaboration between Indonesia and China, with a cost of up to 8.6 billion US dollars.
