Several transportation modes in three days
A closed loop intercity trip
It is a trip to visit KSE Ahmad Baiquni (Babarsari), BRIN, Yogyakarta. This is an evolving story and it will be edited several times. It would be better to read it three days after the date of this story (28.8.2025) in order to get the complete one.
Mode-1
A car is used in the firt segment of the trip. It delivers me to Bandung Station.
Mode-2
A regular intercity train is used a the second mode, that will bring me from Bandung to Yogyakarta. This trip segment is predicted to take about 5 hours and 49 minutes.
It is now 10:25 at somewhere before Ciamis.
The video was recorded before 11:36.
Mode-3
While sitting in the train (mode-2) before departing from Bandung, I was informed by a colleague, that came a day earlier to Yogyakarta, that it rains frequently there. Then, the mode-3 might no be a motor cycle. Unless, of course, it shines and the vehicle has sufficient room to carry a small luggage.
It is a station taxi from Angkutan Sewa, KSU Stasiun Tugu Yogyakarta. The vehicle is like private car without certain color nor yellow plate number. It cost 150 kIDR.
Mode-4
In the second day of the trip I just walk since the destination is only a walking distance from the place I stay.
It is about 300 m to the gate and 200 m to the CWS building then maybe 300 m to the DECY-13 from the CWS. There is other story about it (Viridi, 2025).
Mode-5
It is a BlueBird taxi from hotel to airport.
It is too early, even that the level crossing is still closed.
I have to walk through the crossing since the taxi can not pass it.
And of course in the airport there is nobody but me 🤣.
Mode-6
It is flying in the air with FlyJaya KS-101 as second mode in the third day.
It is now 0345 and a man is in the far, nearthe departure gate, while I am sitting near the arrival gate. From the sound of chains in the ground, it seems that he is opening something. But why it is followed by sound of motorcyle that seems going out?
Finally there are people and the monitor is on at about 0409. By the way it shows Gate 00. Is it really like numbering in programming language or just an unassigned gate number? Just wait for it.

Now there is sound of warning tone for the level crossing. Previously it does emit any sound. The blockage should have been removed, shouldn’t it?
It is Gate 04 not 00. Does it use 4 digit number system 00–03? Then it maps 04 to 00?
A woman tells me that aircraft capacity is 70. Assuming it is 3–2 or 2–3 in every row, then I will sit in the last row? It is an ATR-72. And if 2–2 it will be near the end, third quartil, right? But at least A is indicating a window seat.
It is now 0500 and boarding time is 0530. At about 0600 it should start to run and fly, shouldn’t it?
It is 0556 and on the seat 14A.
Mode-7
It is a shuttle from Halim Perdana Kusuma airport to Halim station serving Whoosh, the high speed train. T-Shuttle is the one I use.
Mode-8
It is preditable that this mode is the high speed train Whoosh, right? Well, it is.
Mode-9
It is the feeder train from Padalarang station to Bandung station.
Mode-10
The last mode is the same as the first.
