Indonesian trains run on 3′ 6″ narrow gauge tracks, but are quite fast and frequently very punctual. Trains are one of the crucial convenient, fastest and easiest ways to travel. In the east, the railway connects with a ferry to Bali, and within the west, a ferry to Sumatra. Sumatra’s railway network runs within the south from Bandarlampung to Lubuklinggau and within the north from Medan to Tanjung Balai and Rantau Prapat.
The railway system in Indonesia is improving and higher yearly. Recently, state-owned railway company PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) launched recent luxury sleeper trains. Dubbed “Luxury 2”, the sleeper cars are a part of 4 trains, namely the Argo Lawu and Argo Dwipangga Jakarta-Surakarta, Taksaka Jakarta-Yogyakarta and Gajayana Jakarta-Malang routes, in keeping with The Jakarta Post.
In Luxury 2, each seat can recline 140 degrees. It can be equipped with an electrical socket and a USB port, because of which passengers can charge their electronic devices in the course of the eight-hour journey.
Just in time for the upcoming Eid 2019 exodus season.
