From the article, the cost is ~5x a normal train. If so, it will limit the number of passengers, which will affect the revenue. It sounds awesome, but hope their projections are realistic.

Looking forward to the headlines five years from now.

There are already big price differences depending on the class.

The cheap commuter trains around Jakarta are 0.19$ per 25km.

Are they planning bridges and high-speed ferries too, to connect the islands ?
