Finally I get the chance, reason, and support to use Whoosh. This post should
Reservation
You can make reservation via Traveloka, which I do. There is also Whoosh app. I have also installed the last one but not using it due to insufficient knowledge for the payment process.
It is different with Traveloka app, which I get used to it. Usually I use it for normal train, flight, and hotel reservation. So, Whoosh is only a sub menu under the train menu.
Only mobile app has it, but not the web app as shown above.
Feeder train
Now it is 0817 and I am sitting in the feeder train.
It takes about 19 minutes to tavel from Bandung station to Padalarang station as announced when the train starts to move.

The feeder train is clean and bright. It makes me remember the time in Dortmund. The U-Bahn.
Seats are not booked, which is very good. But there is coach for bussiness passangers only. The last one in the direction to Padalarang.
Cimahi station at 0827 and only one minute stop.
Arriving Padalarang station at about 0834+1. Very good.
Top speed
As long as I remember it runs at top speed about 347 m/s.
It fluctuates a little bit and the vibration is nearly unsensed. It is veyy convenient.
Riding this train remembers me about ICE and also Shinkansen.
