What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

KAI is reactivating railway sections in West Sumatra as part of a broader plan to develop a trans-Sumatra railway network connecting Banda Aceh and Bandar Lampung. The government launched an Rp 11 trillion (US$660 million) railway reactivation project to expand public transportation access. The first phase involves reactivating a 15.3-km section connecting Kayu Tanam and Padang Panjang in West Sumatra.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The initiative aims to reduce regional disparities in railway services across Indonesia, following instructions from President Prabowo Subianto to ensure equitable distribution of services. This project addresses the disparity between Java, which has around 7,000 kilometers of operational lines, and the rest of Indonesia, which has less than 1,000 km.
