REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDUNG -- The West Java provincial administration said it supports President Joko Widodo's plan to build train double track between Bogor and Sukabumi to meet growing demand for mass transport in the province.

"President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) unveiled the plan to construct the double track which will start this year during his visit to Sukabumi earlier this month," head of the West Java Transport Service Dedi Taufik said here on Tuesday.

Dedi said the West Java administration certainly welcome the plan to build train double track between Bogor and Sukabumi and the reoperation of the idle rail track of Sukabumi-Cianjur-Padalarang.

He said so far railway transport has been needed for passengers as well as for cargoes.
