The Directorate General of Railways of the Ministry of Transportation, through the Bandung Railway Engineering Center, and the Bandung City Government will soon electrify this service into an electric-powered KRL Commuterline system, similar to those in Greater Jakarta and Yogyakarta–Solo. The plan will start in 2024 with the first phase in the Padalarang – Bandung plot and continued with the second phase in the Bandung – Cicalengka plot. This plan is also expected to help connect the Whoosh high speed train service as an alternative to and from the Bandung city center.[2]
