What is the truth?
When reverse-searching a screengrab of the viral video with Google Lens, we found a similar image of seating arrangement in a train on the ‘seat61’ website with the title “Train travel in Indonesia | Train times, fares, tickets”. The image is captioned “Luxury class, second generation. Routes include Jakarta Gambir to Yogyakarta on the Argo Dwipangga.”
A few other similar photos are found tweeted by the ‘AndyBTravels’ page in November 2022 with the caption “Luxury Class on the Jakarta to Yogyakarta ‘Argo Dwipangga Luxury’ train”.

These images seem to match the seats and the interiors of the train seen in the viral video.
We also searched for the watermark ‘Adeodatusdeo’ seen in the viral video and found the viral video on the TikTok page with the caption in Indonesian roughly translated as “This is the most expensive train on its path, priced at -+1.5 million one-way”.
A travel vlog on the YouTube channel of Renata Pereira titled “Luxury train in Indonesia: Yogyakarta to Jakarta” uploaded in July 2020 is found with similar visuals from the viral video.
Conclusion
It is found that a video clip of an Indonesian train is shared thanking Narendra Modi for the rapid improvement in the railway infrastructure & trains.
