Each train consists of 12 cars of various classes, providing passengers with a comfortable journey.

An important step is the contract between KAI and PT Inka for the major overhaul of over 600 locomotive traction cars, with a total cost of 2.5 trillion Indonesian rupiahs.

This move will help modernize and improve the efficiency of railway transportation in the country, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Equally important is the agreement with KCI for the supply of 16 electric trains, each comprising 12 cars.

This provides an additional boost to the development of modern and environmentally friendly transportation.
