The Bima train (Indonesian: Kereta Api Bima) is an executive class train service with sleeper carriages that is operated by PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) in Java with the service running between Gambir Station (GMR) - Surabaya Gubeng Station (SGU) and vice versa. The train covers 820 kilometres (510 mi) in 10 hours 35 minutes. Bima was initially an acronym for "Biru Malam" (lit. Night Blue).
Uniquely, this train is not through the northern route, but through the southern route, because to increase the occupancy of passengers who take the train route Jakarta-Surabaya through the southern route.
