I've only once gone from Bandung to Jakarta in 2 hours. It was 5am on Christmas morning with almost no traffic, and a minibus driver driving like a bat out of hell.
Ah well, DO NOT drive to popular local tourist spots during public holidays in Indonesia

. But usually the toll road goes pretty smooth, maybe I'm just really lucky then

. Anyway I think both options are nice, but if you are not living or going to Indonesia a lot, trains in Java give you very nice views indeed!
