Train from Bandung to Jakarta

It was definitely a good choice to travel to and from Bandung using train. Here's some quick write up with pictures.

First of all check the schedule online if you have internet access handy, unfortunately the website is only available in Indonesia language, I have inserted the direct link to it's reservations page, you may want to try filing out the blanks and you should be  getting the result of the available train slots. You may also book your tickets online but do note that it needs to be 48hrs prior to departure. If time does not permit, ticket can be easily purchase on the spot at the counter or any Alfamart in Bandung.

1) Bring alomg your ID card or passport for registration purposes.
2) Make your choice of ticket with the mart cashier
3) You will then be given a receipt that you need to exhange them to boarding pass at the train station maximum 1hour before departure.
4) Exchange your ticket at the customer service counter which is located on the left hand side of the ticket check point of the Bandung station.
5) Next, board the train!

*Please ask the cashier which station you should be getting according to your final destination. In Jakarta there is either Jakarta Kota or Gambir.
