P.T. Kereta Api Indonesia (Galaga Heroverse Alternate Timeline)

P.T. Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) (English: Indonesian Railways Company, abbreviated as PT KAI or simply KAI) is a Government-owned Railway company in Indonesia, headquartered in Bandung, West Java.
= History =
Ever since the Colonial days, Rail transportation has been established from the Netherlands, and was later carried on when Japan invaded Indonesia in WW2. In 1945, when Indonesia became independent and WW2 ended, the Railways are unified to one single railway with a permanent name: P.T. Kereta Api Indonesia. In Galaga Universe, the Majority of approximately 90% of the railway uses standard gauge or 1,435 mm (4 ft. 8 1⁄2 in.) track gauge. In 1951, Japan and Indonesia formed an alliance together, and their first joint project is High Speed Rail, which is a kind of Railway service where trains exceed over 200 km/h. And over the years, KAI built more Rail Infrastructure and update pre-existing ones, like converting all conventional intercity rail lines to Semi-High Speed Rail Electric railway lines.
= Divisions =
== K.A.I. Peluru ==
K.A.I. Peluru is the High Speed Rail division of P.T. Kereta Api Indonesia. K.A.I. Peluru literally means Indonesian Bullet Train. The first service to open for business is the Java Bullet Railway (Or in Bahasa Indonesia: Kereta Peluru Jawa), serving Jakarta, Bandung, Cirebon, Pekalongan, Semarang, Solo, and Surabaya, which opened in 1965. Following the Success of the Java Bullet Railway, a Second High Speed Line was built, now in Sumatera, called the Sumatera Bullet Railway (Kereta Peluru Sumatera), serving Banda Aceh, Medan, Pekan Baru, Jambi, Palembang, and Bandar Lampung. A Branch Line was also built to serve Padang and Bengkulu which opened in 1968. In 1985, a New line was built: Borneo Bullet Railway (Kereta Peluru Kalimantan), serving major cities in Kalimantan.
Also taking notes from the United States, the Java Bullet Railway and Sumatera Bullet Railway use Quadruple Tracks. Except instead of using Japanese pre-built trainsets like the Shinkansen 0 series and 100 series onwards, Indonesia is the primary builder of the trains. For the High Speed Railway service, trains range from as short as 12 cars per train to 16 cars per train. Earlier models in the 20th century and the first of 2000s are Single Decker trains, but starting in the late 2010s onwards, new trainsets are Double Decker 18-car trainsets. The trains are named Kris-x0000. The word Kris derives from an ancient Javanese weapon that is shaped like an asymmetrical dagger with distinctive blade-patterning achieved through alternating laminations of iron and nickelous iron (pamor).
=== Trains ===
==== Kris-10000 series ====
Kris-10000 series is the first class of K.A.I. Peluru's trainset fleet. They have a similar design as the Shinkansen 0 Series in Japan, and are primarily 12-Cars long. These trains have a top speed of 220 km/h, and later versions have an increased speed of up to 245 km/h and later 275 km/h.
==== Kris-20000 series ====
Kris-20000 series is the second class of K.A.I. Peluru's trainset fleet. Now resembling the SNCF TGV trainsets albeit as EMUs, they are still primarily 12-Cars long. These trains have a top speed of 300 km/h and later versions have an increased speed of up to 325 km/h and later 350 km/h.
==== Kris-30000 series ====
Kris-30000 series is the third class of K.A.I. Peluru's trainset fleet. They resemble the Shinkansen 500 and 700 series and they are extended to be 16-Cars long. These trains have a top speed of 360 km/h and later versions have an increased speed of up to 375 km/h and later 380 km/h.
==== Kris-40000 series ====
Kris-30000 series is the third class of K.A.I. Peluru's trainset fleet. They are Double Decker EMUs resembling the SNCF TGV Duplex and Shinkansen E4 series, and they are extended to be 18-Cars long. These trains have a top speed of 360 km/h and later versions have an increased speed of up to 375 km/h and later 380 km/h.
== K.A.I. Metro ==
K.A.I. Metro, or simply known as Kereta Metro Indonesia (Or shortened as K.M.I.) is the commuter-Rapid Transit/regional rail division of P.T. Kereta Api Indonesia. When this division was first established in 2001, the Infrastructure Upgrade of the rail network commences. This includes upgrading the lines from Double Track to Quadruple Track and anything demolished due to the Track upgrades are renovated into big mixed-use development buildings with shops and apartment housing for the people in the areas where the railway lines go through. Double Track stations are upgraded to Quadruple track stations. Junction stations like Kampung Bandan, Duri and Tanah Abang are upgraded to 10-Track stations. This allows frequent trains to arrive and depart every 5 minutes.
PT Kereta Metro Indonesia has two kinds of services: Local services where trains stop at every station, and Express services where trains stop at only Junction stations and Terminus stations. Passenger fares remain the same for Local Services, IDR 3000 for trips under 25 km (IDR 1000 increase for every additional 25 km), while Express Services have an initial fee of IDR 5000 for less than 35 km (IDR 2500 increase for every additional 35 km). Local service trains have Subway seating style, but Express service trains have traditional seating style (Facing both Front and Back) and additional comfort. In 2004, the Greater Jakarta Metro Railway (Kereta Metro Jabodetabek) is no longer the only Electrified Rapid Transit railway in Indonesia, the second is the Surabaya Metro Railway (Kereta Metro Surabaya) and the third is the Jogjakarta-Solo Metro Railway (Kereta Metro Joglo).
With President Joko Widodo winning the 2014 Indonesian Presidential Election, one of Jokowi's significant efforts is to upgrade the existing Railway Infrastructure even further. Metro stations are all upgraded to "Futuristic Standards" like Platform Screen Doors and AC equipped train stations with Solar Panels on top of the station rooftops. Because many of the trains are from different Japanese railway companies, they are starting to become incompatible with the new infrastructures, so PT Industri Kereta Api or P.T. INKA starts to build new Metro Trains in collaboration with Nippon Sharyo and Hitachi to create new trainsets: K.M.I. Ratangga-1000 series, a class of Metro trains for compatible use of the Indonesian Metro Railway networks' new infrastructure, and also to showcase PT INKA's trains being the mainstream sight of major commuter rail networks in Indonesia.
The K.M.I. Ratangga-1000 series of trains have three major configurations: 8-car sets, 10-car sets, and 12-car sets. On 8-car sets, cars 3 and 6 have two pantographs each. On 10-car sets, cars 3, 5 and 8 have two pantographs each. And on 12-car sets, cars 3, 6 and 10 have two pantographs each. The first Ratangga-1000 trainset is completed in May 5th 2015, a 12-car Junction-Express trainset for "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Kota-Bogor". Aside from just the new trainsets, a new Greater-Jakarta Metro Railway service begins construction. These are Underground and Elevated MRT styled railway services that will be part of "Kereta Metro Jabodetabek" or by its' international name: "Greater Jakarta Metro" or "Jabodetabek Metro". The Unique thing is that K.M.I. Jabodetabek Metro's trainsets are ALL 12-Car trainsets, meaning one set carries 2400 people, at least in the stopping service sets, while the Limited Express trains can house 48 people per car, and 12-Car Limited Express trainsets can carry 576 passengers. The Ratangga-1000 class has ALL the cars powered, and unique to 12-car sets, Cars 1, 2, 11 and 12 (The two lead locomotives, first and tenth intermediate coaches) are reserved for Females and Children under 13 years of age.
The first line: the North-South line began construction in June 6th 2015, centered at Bundaran Hotel Indonesia and 2 terminus stations: Lebak Bulus and Stasiun Kota, with an additional branch line to Ancol. The new North-South Line, "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Kota-Lebak Bulus", is also a Quad track railway line, serving All-Stop Local Trains and Limited-Stop Express trains. The second line: the East-West line began construction in 2016 and named "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Cikarang-Balaraja", also Quad Tracks and 12-car sets like previous. Kebon Sirih and Blok M stations on "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Kota-Lebak Bulus" became junction stations in connections to "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Cikarang-Balaraja"
Phases 3, 4 and 5 are then planned in 2017 and began construction that same year. In the Galaga Universe, Phase 3 is "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Jatinegara-Taman Mini", connecting Jatinegara and Taman Mini Indonesia Indah and will have a Junction station with "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Cikarang-Balaraja". Phase 4A is "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Bogor-Serpong-Tangerang", connecting Bogor, Serpong and Tangerang underneath pre-existing Jabodetabek Metro stations of Bogor, Serpong and Tangerang respectively. It's Phase 4A because Phase 4B is "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Serpong-Manggarai-Bekasi", serving Serpong, Manggarai, and Bekasi from underground.
Phase 5A is "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Grand Poris-Kelapa Gading", serving the Grand Poris neighborhood and Mall Kelapa Gading with a Junction Station of Juanda of "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Kota-Bogor", another Junction Station of Kemayoran from "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Lingkaran Jatinegara-Cikarang", and ANOTHER Junction Station of Tanah Abang which is already a Junction Station for both "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Tanah-Abang-Serpong-Rangkas Bitung" and "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Lingkaran Jatinegara-Cikarang".
There is also Phase 5B which is "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Grand Poris-Tanjung Priok", sharing the Grand Poris neighborhood terminus with "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Grand Poris-Kelapa Gading" and the terminus station of Tanjung Priok with a Junction Station of Angke of "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Lingkaran Jatinegara-Cikarang".
Also with the new Ratangga-1000 series trainsets, these trains are color coded for specific lines. For example, "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Kota-Bogor" is the Red line, thus the trains are colored red. The newly implemented "Jabodetabek Metro Lintasan Lingkaran Jatinegara-Cikarang" is the blue line, thus the trains are colored blue.
=== Kereta Metro Jabodetabek ===
K.M.I. Jabodetabek Metro is the first Electric Metro Railway in Indonesia, boasting of Quad Tracks and 12-Car trainsets for ALL lines. The following railway lines are:
==== Line 01: Kereta Metro Jabodetabek Lintasan Kota-Bogor ====
The first and flagship metro line in Kereta Metro Jabodetabek, serving Jakarta Kota, Depok and Bogor. This is the ONLY railway line to be INITIALLY built Quadruple tracks before 2001. All trains are 12-Cars long.
==== Line 02: Kereta Metro Jabodetabek Lintasan Lingkar Jatinegara-Cikarang ====
The second metro line in Kereta Metro Jabodetabek. At first, the tracks in this line was double tracked for the Metro while the Conventional Rail line were on the other side, but in 2015, both the lines became one Quadruple line while the Conventional Rail line was built elevated. All trains are 12-Cars long.
==== Line 03: Kereta Metro Jabodetabek Lintasan Duri-Tangerang ====
The third metro line in Kereta Metro Jabodetabek. All trains are 12-Cars long.
==== Line 04: Kereta Metro Jabodetabek Lintasan Tanah Abang-Serpong ====
The fourth metro line in Kereta Metro Jabodetabek. At first the line terminates at Serpong but is later built to Rangkas Bitung to connect to a Conventional Rail line serving Merak. All trains are 12-Cars long.
==== Line 05: Kereta Metro Jabodetabek Lintasan Kota-Tanjung Priok ====
The fifth metro line in Kereta Metro Jabodetabek. This is a small metro line serving Jakarta Kota, Kampung Bandan, Ancol and Tanjung Priok. Because this is a short line, only stopping trains are in service. All trains are 8-Cars long.
==== Line 06: Kereta Metro Jabodetabek Lintasan Kota-Lebak Bulus ====
The sixth metro line in Kereta Metro Jabodetabek and the first to be Underground and Elevated only. This service serves Jakarta Kota, Glodok, Monas, Bundaran H.I., Dukuh Atas, Istora Mandiri, Senayan, ASEAN, Blok M, Fatmawati and Lebak Bulus. All trains are 10-Cars long.
==== Line 07: Kereta Metro Jabodetabek Lintasan Cikarang-Balaraja ====
The seventh metro line in Kereta Metro Jabodetabek. This line's east terminus is underneath the terminus station of "Lintasan Lingkar Jatinegara-Cikarang". All trains are 10-Cars long.
== K.A.I. Intercity ==
K.A.I. Intercity is the conventional intercity rail division of the company. By 2017, K.A.I. Intercity services are also upgraded, as in converted to Electrified Quad Track railway lines. By installing overhead catenary on conventional railway lines, all Long Distance trains got electrified, and instead of locomotives hauling coaches, they are all Electric Multiple Unit trainsets in similarity to the Metro Trains. Since the Galaga Universe's iteration of P.T. Kereta Api Indonesia uses 1.435mm Standard Gauge for ALL rail services, conventional intercity trains have a top speed limit of 200 km/h. Freight trains use Electric Locomotives too, and the Diesel locomotives are demoted to Shunting duties, some are lucky to be preserved and used as Static Display on Museums and even Heritage railways.
== K.A.I. Trem ==
K.A.I. Trem or Indonesian Tramways is the Tramway division of the company. In 2002, the first Indonesian Tramway service, Kereta Trem Jabodetabek (Greater Jakarta Tramways) was introduced, which is the Galaga Universe's interpretation of the TransJakarta Bus Rapid Transit company. Instead of a BRT company, Kereta Trem Jabodetabek, the tramway division of PT Kereta Api Indonesia is the replacement of BRT. The trams are built in collaboration by PT Industri Kereta Api, Nippon Sharyo and Siemens.
The trams are 5-Car High-Platform articulated trains. Cars 1 and 5 are the lead "locomotives" with a control cab on each end and they have 4 doors (2 on the left side and 2 on the right), Cars 2 and 4 are a bit shorter than cars 1, 3 and 5, so they have 2 doors (One on each side) and a single pantograph on each car, and that Cars 2 and 4 also have wheel-spaces for Bicycles, baby strollers, scooters and physically disabled people using wheelchairs. The center car or car 3 has 4 doors (Two on each side) like cars 1 and 3. Kereta Trem Jabodetabek is also very unique for being given their own right of way, and all of their tracks in EVERY corridor are surrounded by grass and trees, making the city environmentally friendly and also beautiful for people to walk around.
The Famous Tramway corridor is Corridor 1, as the main road from South of Monumen Nasional all the way to Blok M is a Major People-Oriented roadway with a mixture of the aforementioned Tramway Corridor and Bike streets on the sides. Car roads are 1 lane per direction. Corridor 1 is also famous for being the ONLY tramway with Quadruple tracks while others are double tracked. Also, to not interfere with Surfaced railway lines of Kereta Metro Jabodetabek, tram corridors that cross conventional railway lines are built underpasses (And some may have Underground Tram stations.)
= Export Business =
P.T. Kereta Api Indonesia is famous for exporting their products overseas. The first known is for countries like Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. The most famous Export deal is to Las Vegas, albeit in collaboration with Japan. This export deal is the Las Vegas MRT, first built in 2015, and finished in 2021 as it's a 6-year project for building 5 metro lines, with the first phase finished in 2016. Las Vegas is the First US city to have an MRT styled metro system AND the FIRST US City to import Indonesian Rail Infrastructure.
