A consortium comprising of almost 20 companies for the Hydrogen Hi-Speed Rail Super Highway (H2RSH) project is scheduled to start its feasibility study on Jan. 11, 2010, involving transportation experts from the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB).
West Java Regional Investment Coordinating Agency (BKPMD) chief Iwa Karniwa said the feasibility study was needed to finalize the plan for the US$3 billion project scheduled for realization in two years time.
“We have to vigorously move forward because the investors’ are enthusiastic to realize the project and consider the positive impact of the project on economic development,” Iwa told The Jakarta Post on Friday.
The H2RSH project, he said, would cover a corridor of 357 kilometers from Cirebon, West Java, to Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Tangerang, Banten. He said, the trip would only take some 1.5 hours.
Iwa expressed confidence that the project, 80 percent located in West Java region and the rest Greater Jakarta and Banten province, would not “consume” much land as it would be like a monorail and operate above ground.
(Note: In the Malaysian Peninsula, the double tracking project from Ipoh to the Thai border costs about USD3.5b. With the same amount of money, a high speed rail link could be built between KL and Singapore, bringing the two commercial capitals with combined population of about 10 millions closer together, but wiser people thought otherwise - blogger)

Soekarno Hatta airport passengers increase 15%
The Jakarta Post , Jakarta Sun, 12/27/2009 9:43 AM Jakarta
The number of passengers flying via Jakarta's Soekarno Hatta airport increases by 15 percent in 2009 to 36 million people, Tempointeraktif.com reported Sunday.
By the end of November, the number of passengers already reached 33.78 million people, already surpassing the 2008 number of around 32 million, according to Endang Supriadi, head of the airport's data administration division.
Endang said that the number of passengers flying via the airport's Terminal I, II and III now had already reached over 100,000 people daily, and therefore, by the end of this year, the number could reach 36 million.
"Looking at this trend, we expect that the number could increase by 15 percent by the end of the year," Endang told Tempointeraktif.com, adding that the increase was exceeding the airport's earlier projection of 10 percent increase.
Endang noted that the increase was made possible with the availability of more flights to new destinations in the country and the relatively low fares as well as fewer accidents.
