A train service to Gunung Padang megalithic site in Cianjur regency,
West Java, is set to be provided by the local administration following
the increasing number of tourists visiting the destination.
"We will increase the number of tourists to Gunung Padang by
providing [a tourist] train that stops by at Lampegan station. From
there, visitors can hop on vehicles that will take them to the site,"
said Cianjur Deputy Regent Herman Suherman on Sunday as quoted by tempo.co, adding that the service would be an affordable one and was slated for launch next year.

Tourists are currently using the Siliwangi train service that travels
from Cianjur to Sukabumi to visit Gunung Padang. To reach the
destination from Lampegan station, they reportedly have to pay for an
ojek (motorcycle taxi) that could cost up to Rp 100,000 (US$7.5), since
public transportation is not yet available.
Some supporting facilities are presently being developed by the
government at the location, including a rest area in Lampegan and an
alternative road to Gunung Padang.
