Sebuah bandar udara memiliki nilai tambah jika memiliki sistem transportasi berbasis rel yang terhubung dengan pusat kota dimana bandara tersebut berada. Saat ini di Asia Tenggara, terdapat lima bandara internasional yang memiliki angkutan kereta bandara. Mereka adalah Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Int'l Airport dengan Airport Rail Link (ARL) nya, Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur dengan Express Rail Link (ERL KLIA Ekspres) nya, Changi International Airport dengan MRT nya, Bandar Udara Internasional Soekarno-Hatta dengan Railink nya, dan Bandar Udara Internasional Kualanamu, juga dengan Railink. Alhamdulillah penulis telah berkesempatan menaiki kelimanya dan berikut reviewnya. Cekidot.
An International Airport will have an additional value if it has a rail-based transport that connects its passenger terminal to the city core. Today in Southeast-Asia, there are five International Airports that has airport trains. They are Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International Airport with its Airport Rail Link (ARL), Kuala Lumpur International Airport with KLIA Ekspres, Changi International Airport and its MRT system, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport with its Railink, and Kualanamu International Airport with its Railink. Thankfully, I have been on all of them, and here's my review. Check it out!

1. KLIA Ekspres
KLIA Ekspres melintas Stasiun Putrajaya (dok. pribadi)
Interior KLIA Ekspres (dok.pribadi)
Masih menyandang predikat sebagai kereta tercepat se-Asia Tenggara saat tulisan ini ditulis. Rangkaiannya menggunakan Siemens Desiro buatan Jerman dengan lebar rel 1435 mm menjadikan menaiki kereta ini serasa naik kereta di Eropa. Goncangannya sangat halus walaupun melaju hingga 160 km/jam. Di Kuala Lumpur, anda bisa turun atau naik kereta ini di KL Sentral, sebuah stasiun yang mengitegrasikan kereta bandara ini, Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM), LRT Kelana Jaya, KL Monorail, MRT Sungai Buloh - Kajang, Bus RapidKL, Bus KLIA, dan Bus Ekspres Genting Highland.
Kereta ini sangat bisa diandalkan jika anda mengejar penerbangan dari KLIA. Pernah sekali saya masih di pusat kota KL padahal ada flight yang harus saya kejar kurang dari dua jam lagi. Langsung saja saya menuju KL Sentral dan menaiki kereta ini, hanya membutuhkan waktu setengah jam untuk sampai di KLIA. Headway antar kereta sekitar 15 menit. Terdapat fasilitas Wifi dan toilet di dalam kereta ini. Kekurangannya adalah kursinya agak keras dan harga tiketnya yang cukup mahal untuk sekali perjalanan, yaitu RM 55.
Still being the fastest train in Southeast-Asia right now. The rolling stock of KLIA Ekspres is Siemens Desiro ET 425M, european taste. The ride is very smooth although it's running at 100 miles an hour. You can take or get off this train at KL Sentral, the main hub of KL public transportation, such as KTM, LRT Kelana Jaya Line, KL Monorail, MRT SBK Line, RapidKL bus, KLIA bus, and Genting Express bus.
This train is very reliable for you who in a rush to catch a flight. It takes about 30 minutes from KL Sentral to KLIA, with 15 minutes headway. The are some facilities onboard the train, such as lavatories, and Wifi. Unfortunately it has hard seats and its fare is relatively expensive, RM 55 for a single trip.

MRT Singapore (TripAdvisor)
EZ Link (dok. pribadi)
Merupakan moda transportasi publik paling umum di Singapura yang terintegrasi ke seluruh penjuru kota. Untuk jalur Bandara Changi, penumpang harus transit terlebih dahulu di Stasiun Tanah Merah kemudian melanjutkan ke jalur timur - barat (EW Line) lalu ke jalur-jalur lainnya. Harga tiketnya cukup murah, yaitu maksimal 2,8 SGD untuk rute terjauh. Untuk mempermudah, disarankan untuk membeli kartu EZ link yang dijual di terminal kedatangan Bandara Changi seharga 10 SGD dengan saldo 5 SGD. Kartu ini dapat mempermudah mobilisasi di Singapura karena dapat digunakan untuk naik MRT, LRT, dan Bus dengan hanya sekali tap dan tanpa antre. Saldonya dapat diisi di setiap stasiun MRT dan seluruh gerai seven eleven di Singapura.
MRT Singapura cukup bersih dan nyaman, serta yang paling utama adalah ketertiban dan kedisiplinannya. Keretanya sendiri cukup nyaman untuk berkeliling Singapura.AC kereta dingin dan banyak tempat untuk berdiri dan bersandar. Kekurangannya adalah kursinya keras karena terbuat dari plastik. Petunjuk arah baik di stasiun dan di kereta semuanya jelas. Stasiun-stasiun di pusat kota Singapura biasanya terkoneksi ke pusat perbelanjaan atau destinasi wisata, seperti Stasiun Bugis yang terhubung dengan Bugis Junction dan Stasiun Bayfront yang terhubung dengan Marina Bay Sands dan Gardens by the Bay. Saat menggunakan eskalator stasiun, berdirilah di sisi sebelah kiri, dan biarkan sisi kanan kosong untuk orang-orang yang sedang buru-buru, karena itu adalah etika di Singapura dan negara-negara maju lainnya.
The most common public transport in Singapore that connects the entire city. For the Changi Airport Line, passengers have to transit at Tanah Merah station then continue their journey with East-West (EW) Line. From EW Line, you can continue your trip with Downtown Line and the other lines. Its fare are cheap, only about SGD 2.8 for the farthest destination (such as Woodlands etc.). To ease your trip, it adviced for you to buy EZ Link card in Changi Airport arrival area for SGD 10 with SGD 5 balance. This card can ease your journey in Singapore with MRT, LRT, or bus just in a single tap. You can top up its balance at all Seven-Eleven convenience store in Singapore.
Singapore MRT trains are quite clean and comfortable, and the most important thing is its punctual and discipline. The train's AC are quite cold and there are many spaces to stand and lean. Their signange and announcement both in the station and onboard the train are clearly obvious and helpful. Singapore MRT Stations, especially in the dowtown area are usually connected to tourist attraction zones and CBDs. In the station, always stand on the left side when using the escalator, and let the right side clear for rushing peoples, because that's and etiquette in Singapore and other developed countries.

Railink Soekarno-Hatta (dok.pribadi)
Interior SHIA Railink (dok. pribadi)
Kereta bandara kedua di Indonesia, menghubungkan Bandara Internasional Soekarno-Hatta dengan pusat kota Jakarta dalam waktu 55 menit. Rangkaiannya menggunakan kereta rel listrik buatan PT INKA dan Bombardier. Interiornya cukup nyaman, terutama tempat duduknya paling nyaman dibandingkan kereta bandara lain di Asia Tenggara. Terdapat toilet dan rak bagasi pada setiap kereta. Harga tiketnya 70.000 rupiah sekali perjalanan dan dapat dibeli online. Dalam perjalanannya, kereta ini berhenti di stasiun Batuceper, Duri, dan Sudirman Baru (BNI City)
Namun, banyak hal yang masih perlu dibenahi dalam kereta bandara ini, seperti waktu tempuh yang terlalu lama, sirkulasi penumpang di stasiunnya yang masih kurang rapi, dan keterintegrasian dengan transportasi lain seperti Commuter Line dan Transjakarta yang masih kurang. Padahal, Stasiun BNI City terletak dekat Stasiun Sudirman yang melayani Commuter Line dan juga halte Transjakarta. Sehingga saat ini kereta ini cukup sepi terutama di malam hari.
Trip Report Railink Soekarno-Hatta bisa dilihat di SINI
Indonesia's second airport train that connects Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Jakarta's downtown core in 55 minutes. Its rolling stock is electric multiple units made by PT INKA and Bombardier. The interior is quite comfortable, especially its seats. There are lavatories and baggage storage in each car. Its ticket fare is IDR 70,000 and available online. On its way, this train stops at Batuceper, Duri, and Sudirman Baru (BNI City).
Unfortunately, there are few things that should be improvised in this airport train service, such as the travel time was too long, the untidy passenger circulation, and messy integration with other public transportation such as Commuter Line and Transjakarta bus.
