This train operates as a feeder for the Jakarta–Bandung Whoosh high-speed railway passengers from Bandung and Cimahi city areas to the high-speed railway hub at Padalarang Station.

The train began operating to serve public passengers on 3 October 2023, in conjunction with the Whoosh Experience programme organised by KCIC, using a series of ME204 Diesel Multiple Units (KRDE) made by Industri Kereta Api (INKA).
