ARRIVING AT STASIUN GAMBIR IN JAKARTA

South Hall - the main entrance

   22nd FEBRUARY 2025    ~ One of the main activities in Indonesia this time was to experience the Panoramic Train ride from Jakarta to Bandung. To do that, we took a Grab Car from Soekarno Hatta International Airport to Stasiun Gambir. The trip took about an hour and the fare was Rp 193.100, including the toll charge.

Gambir Station was quite small but it was a working day when we were there, so the place was not crowded at all. The building was actually near to Monas, the significant landmark of Jakarta city.

I had a travel companion this time, Mr. Rosman, whom I met during my trip to Italy and Austria in October last year.

The Panoramic Train ticket cost Rp 488,250 per person for the one way trip to Bandung that afternoon. We bought the online tickets earlier before coming to Indonesia. Our Panoramic Train coach was fully occupied so it is advisable to get the tickets before coming.

Most importantly, the station was clean, including the toilets. There were many shops in the building, which were mainly restaurants and convenient store.

We met a countryman from Perak who was going somewhere else on a different train.
