Quick Tips for ITB Visitors:
Traffic Alert: Friday afternoons and holiday weekends can significantly increase travel time by road. If you are arriving during these times, the Whoosh or Regular Train is highly recommended to avoid highway congestion.
Local Transport: Once in Bandung, the easiest way to get to the ITB gate is via Grab or Gojek (download the apps in advance).
Station Choice: If taking the Whoosh, do not get off at Tegalluar; it is very far from ITB. Always choose Padalarang and use the Feeder Train to reach the city center.
