The Bima train (Indonesian: Kereta Api Bima) is an executive class train service with compartment suite that is operated by PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) on the island of Java. The service runs between Gambir Station (GMR) in Jakarta at the west end of the island and Surabaya Gubeng Station (SGU) in Surabaya in the east. The train covers 820 kilometres (510 mi) in 10 hours 22 minutes. Bima was initially an acronym for "Biru Malam" (lit. Night Blue). Uniquely, this train does not use the Jakarta–Surabaya railway line or North Line along the northern coast of Java, but rather a route that takes it along the southern coast of the island. Although the Satwa class, KA Bima is an Argo class Executive train and uses the Argo train, in this case is the ex-Argo Bromo train. This train is the first AC executive train and the oldest train that still operates in Indonesia.
