Trying Southeast Asia's Fastest (And Almost Bankrupt?!) Bullet Train

👋 Hey! Why not hit that subscribe button whilst you're here... It's appreciated more than you know! Thank you! This is the fastest train in South East Asia reaching speeds of up to 350km/h, but will it be around for much longer? Heavily funded by the Chinese, the Whoosh cost $7.3B to build and began operation in 2023. It covers only 142km of track and services just 4 stations, yet the Whoosh is the only high-speed rail (for now) in Southeast Asia making it a very unique train! I enjoyed my journey on the Whoosh and really hope it can recover financially in the years to come! 🚂 The Whoosh High Speed Rail 📍 Java, Indonesia 🇮🇩 From: Jakarta Halim Station To: Bandung Tegalluar Summarecon Station Journey time: 50 minutes Price: £27.50 / $36.45 / 621,000 IDR Sources: Google, Wikipedia, Independent Observer, TomTom, Whoosh KCIC & Tiket.com Watch another? ➡️    • I Stayed At The World's Only Ikea Hotel   ➡️    • I Stayed At Vietnam's Famous Gold Hotel - ...   Timestamps 00:00 Intro 01:20 Exploring the station 06:43 Getting on the train 11:26 Debrief
