Where Is Padalarang Whoosh Station Located?
Padalarang Whoosh Station shares its complex with the existing Padalarang railway station, which also serves the commuter line and feeder train — it isn't a separate building far from the city [1]. It sits in West Bandung Regency, roughly 20-30 minutes from central Bandung city depending on traffic.
The Four Whoosh Stations on the Jakarta-Bandung Line
The Whoosh route serves four stations: Halim (East Jakarta), Karawang, Padalarang, and Tegalluar Summarecon (Bandung) [1]. Padalarang and Tegalluar both serve the greater Bandung area, but Padalarang sits closer to West Bandung and the western side of Bandung city, while Tegalluar is on the eastern side.
| Station | Location | Distance from Halim | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Halim | East Jakarta | — (starting point) | Departure station on the Jakarta side |
| Karawang | Jl. Arif Rahman Hakim, Nagasari, Telukjambe Barat, Karawang Regency [8] | ~41 km [8] | Mid-route stop, not a Bandung tourism destination |
| Padalarang | West Bandung Regency | Full route 35-50 min from Halim | Closest to western Bandung city — free 19-min feeder train to Bandung Station |
| Tegalluar Summarecon | Jl. Desa Tegalluar, Cibiru Hilir, Cileunyi, Bandung Regency 40626 [9] | 142.3 km, end of the line [9] | Final stop on the eastern side — roughly 30 km/40 min from central Bandung city square [9] |
Travel Time and Fares from Jakarta
Average travel time from Halim Station to Padalarang is 35-50 minutes, depending on schedule and operating conditions [2]. On fares, Whoosh uses a dynamic pricing scheme — prices shift with peak hours, holiday season, and weekday versus weekend travel. Premium Economy class for the full Halim-Padalarang/Tegalluar route runs roughly Rp150,000 to Rp250,000 [3][4]. For the most accurate fare on your specific travel date, check the official KCIC app or website directly.
Getting to Central Bandung from Padalarang Station
Since Padalarang isn't the city center, there are a few onward options once you land:
- Free feeder train — a connecting train linking Padalarang Station to Bandung Station, stopping at Cimahi along the way. This service is free for Whoosh ticket holders, with a travel time of around 19 minutes [5]. Passengers don't need to exit the station — just gate out at platform one and head down to the feeder platform on the ground floor [5].
- Free KCIC shuttle — KCIC runs 30 free shuttle trips per day, with 15 departing from Padalarang Whoosh Station and 15 from the Kota Baru Parahyangan area [6]. KCIC, local government, and Kota Baru Parahyangan are also discussing an additional direct-access project (access road, park-and-ride, and a pedestrian skybridge) — as of September 2026 this is still in the planning/discussion stage, with no target completion date yet [7].
- Commuter line — Padalarang Station also connects to the greater Bandung commuter rail network for other destinations around West Bandung and Cimahi.
- Private driver — the most flexible option for groups, families with heavier luggage, or anyone heading straight to a destination like Lembang or Ciwidey without another transfer.
Why Book a Private Car from Padalarang Whoosh Station?
The free feeder train and shuttle are genuinely convenient for a solo traveler whose destination is exactly Bandung Station — but for a group, a family with several suitcases, or anyone continuing straight to another destination (not the city center), transferring twice (Whoosh → feeder → another transport leg) ends up being more hassle than one vehicle that picks you up directly from the station.
Alfathan Tour and Transport (PT Anak Nusantara Mendunia) happens to be based right in Ngamprah, West Bandung Regency — just a few minutes from Padalarang Whoosh Station. This isn't a fleet traveling a long distance from Bandung city to reach you; it's genuinely based in the area, with fixed pricing and no pickup surcharge for Padalarang or the station itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Padalarang Whoosh Station the same as central Bandung city? No. Padalarang Whoosh Station sits in West Bandung Regency, roughly 20-30 minutes from central Bandung city depending on traffic. To reach the city center, passengers can take the free feeder train, the free shuttle, or a private vehicle.
Is the feeder train from Padalarang to Bandung really free? Yes — the feeder train on the Padalarang-Bandung route (via Cimahi) is free for all Whoosh ticket holders, with no extra charge [5].
How long does it take from Jakarta (Halim) to Padalarang? Average travel time is 35-50 minutes, depending on schedule and operating conditions [2].
Can I book a private car right after arriving at Padalarang? Yes — since Alfathan is based in Ngamprah, right next to the station, we can pick you up as soon as you arrive. Share your train arrival time via WhatsApp so a driver is already waiting.
Is the free feeder train or a private car better from Padalarang? It depends on your destination. If you're heading exactly to Bandung Station and traveling solo, the free feeder train is enough. If you're a group, carrying a lot of luggage, or your final destination isn't the city center (say, Lembang or Ciwidey), a private car is more practical since it skips the second transfer.
What's the difference between Padalarang and Tegalluar stations? Both serve Greater Bandung, but on different sides. Padalarang sits in West Bandung Regency (western side), close to central Bandung via the free 19-minute feeder train. Tegalluar Summarecon is the final stop on the eastern side (near Cileunyi, Bandung Regency), roughly 30 km or 40 minutes from central Bandung city square [9].
Which Whoosh station is closest to central Bandung? Padalarang is generally closer for reaching western central Bandung — either a direct 20-30 minute drive, or the free 19-minute feeder train to Bandung Station. Tegalluar is more relevant if your destination is on the eastern side of Greater Bandung, such as Cileunyi or Bandung Regency.
Where is Karawang Whoosh station located? Karawang Whoosh station is at Jl. Arif Rahman Hakim, Nagasari, Desa Wanakerta, Telukjambe Barat, Karawang Regency — about 41 km from Halim Station, and not a relevant stop for traveling to Bandung [8].
