Jakarta: The Indonesian government is advancing a study on the proposed extension of the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway (HSR) to Surabaya, to accelerate integrated and efficient mobility across the Java Island, Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, said yesterday.

According to Nam News Network, the proposed project would build upon the success of the existing Jakarta-Bandung HSR. President Prabowo Subianto has issued a clear directive to extend the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway to Surabaya. This initiative is not merely a continuation but represents a significant vision to connect Jakarta and Surabaya with faster, more efficient, and integrated transportation, Yudhoyono stated at the opening of the 2025 Indonesia RailwayTech exhibition in Jakarta.
