The business prospect is good IMO and more will use it if Jakarta MRT and Greater Jakarta LRT is connected.

This is highway Jakarta Bandung.

From Indian Express:
India’s bullet train faces 5-year delay: High costs, Japan firms not so keen
The Indian Express has learnt that the Railways now expects the project to be commissioned fully by October 2028, instead of the original timeline of December 2023.

By 2028, there's a high probability of another 5-year delay -- if Indian building their aircraft carrier is a guideline of the completion timeframe. And another 3 years maybe.
