Currently, Karawang Station is not yet able to provide services for boarding and alighting passengers of the Whoosh high-speed rail, because it is still in the completion stage of construction of this project. The main road access from the Jakarta–Cikampek Toll Road is still unavailable and not constructed yet, regarding to land acquisitions. It was previously expected to be operational in February 2024.[3]
