@theeastisred : I'm Indonesian living in Jakarta. I use those trains regularly to hang around. Yes, we use same gauge as Japan do.
We are Jakarta people happy with those trains. Comfortable, smooth and cool.
Indonesia has train factory in Solo city. Still buying used trains from Japan are very very much cheaper than we build for ourselves. If we build one train, it is cost 10 used trains from Japan. Then you can imagine why we choose to buy the used ones.
Surprisingly, those used trains are very reliable, with relatively low maintainence cost.
At the end. The consumers PAY MUCH CHEAPER TICKETS for the commuter system. It's only 5000 Rupiahs (50 yen ) for approx. 40 km distance.
