Boediono

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Business | Fri, April 25 2014, 2:02 PM

Vice President Boediono has called on the next government to set up a southern Java double track railway network in a bid to further decrease road congestion and traffic accidents.

"We will get a lot of benefits if we can establish a southern Java railway because Java is the center of logistics in the country," Boediono said in Bojonegoro, East Java, on Friday, as quoted by Antara news agency.

He also said that the railway would help reduce the use of fuel for vehicles.

Currently, the government is finishing a 727-kilometer double track railway project across the northern part of Java that would connect Jakarta and Surabaya, East Java, the island's two economic and business centers.

"There are a few locations that are yet to finish, but we are speeding up," he added.

He said the movement of both people and goods across Java was still done mainly by road transportation, which was around 80 percent, leaving the remaining 20 percent to air, sea and rail. (nfo)

comment :

I agree with the statement from the Vice President, Boediono. He has called on the next government to set up a shoutern Java double track railway network. We will get a lot benefits from the development. It has the relation with many things, one of them is from the economic field, it would help reduce the use of fuel for vehicles and the movement of goods, and from the safety field, it would reduce road congestion and traffic accident. As we know, Java islands was the centre of logistic in our country. So, with the improvement in the transportation system, especially with increasing the development of double track railway, it will push the citizens to use the rail. Nowadays, the movement of the goods and the persons that across in Java was still done mainly by road transportation, it is about 80%, leaving the remaining 20%  to air, sea, and rail. Based on the fact, it is very good if the next government continue to build the shoutern Java double track railway network which is so many benefits that we get.
