Skytrain Jakarta Airport

Skytrain (from Wikipedia)

Arrived at the new Terminal 3 of Soekarno–Hatta International Airport's new Terminal 3, after a ride on the free Skytrain, from the Railink station. This is a small rubber tired shuttle on an elevated track between the three terminals. It is designed to be automated, but there was a driver perched on a stool at front, with just a tape separating them from passengers.This was my fourth, and hopefully last, train ride for the day.

Terminal 3 is very new and very large: the shuttle stopped in front of what I thought was the front of the building, but when I looked up there was a roof high above us. Facilities are still be installed: the "street food" so far consists of burgers and pizza. There are free showers, but I was not offered a towel, or soap.

On the Jakarta Airport Train

Greetings from the Jakarta airport train ("Railink") to Soekarno–Hatta International Airport. I took the train from Yogyakarta after the IEEE TALE 2019 engineering education conference, then one stop on a crowded commuter train to transfer to the airport express at Manggarai. The only difficulty was that the station is being rebuilt, so to get from the old commuter platform to the shiny new airport one, I had to balance along the edge of the platform, with busy commuters coming the other way, then walk cross the tracks. I then went up an escalator into a different world of space, and helpful staff. The train appears to have more staff than passengers, the conductor explaining Friday is the peak time. Also the warned me that at Duri the train changes direction. One improvement would be to have the train display the next destination: currently the display tells you the temperature and the speed of the train, which are not as important as where to get off.
