Serpong railway station
Serpong Station (SRP)[1] is a railway station located in Serpong, Serpong, South Tangerang, Banten. It is located not far from Bumi Serpong Damai complex or commonly known as BSD City. This station used to be the terminus for trains in the green line, now the line has been extended to Parung Panjang, Maja and Rangkasbitung. This station mostly served the commuter in Greater Jakarta. In 1992, the station was electrified to support the Serpong Express KRL journey, which was touted as the forerunner of the Rangkasbitung Line of the KRL Commuterline system.[1][3] This station was originally served as the terminus for the KRL Commuterline, but has now been extended to Rangkasbitung. Serpong Station is the westernmost train station in South Tangerang City. Building and layoutInitially, the station had three railway lines with line 2 being a straight line. On 4 July 2007, the new Serpong Station was inaugurated by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as a pilot station, simultaneously with the inauguration of the double track at this station. In addition, the layout of this station has also changed, so that this station has four railroad lines with straight tracks on lines 2 and 3. The old station building, which was a legacy of the Staatsspoorwegen, has been torn down due to the impact of the construction of platforms and new buildings. Nevertheless, passenger activity at this station remains normal.[4] With the completion of the Serpong–Parungpanjang double track as of 17 April 2013, line 2 is made a straight track towards Rangkasbitung, while line 3 is a straight track towards Tanah Abang.[5]
