Bandung railway station
Bandung Station (BD) (Indonesian: Stasiun Bandung, Sundanese: ᮞ᮪ᮒᮞᮤᮇᮔ᮪ ᮘᮔ᮪ᮓᮥᮀ) or Hall Station (Stasiun Hall) is the largest railway station in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Managed by Kereta Api Indonesia and its subsidiary KAI Commuter, it serves as the main station for Operational Area II Bandung of the KAI, administering Bandung and Priangan areas. The station, which is located at an altitude of +709 meters, is also the main station for the Bandung metropolitan area.
Originally it only had one station building in the south; but after being repaired by the Bandung city government, it is now divided into two buildings in the north and south. It serves executive class and mostly mixed class intercity trains to various destinations in Java.
Since 2014, Bandung Raya and Cibatu local trains were not served at the north gate, but are only served at the south gate, to improve services to passengers. It is also known as the terminal for share taxis (Indonesian: Angkutan Kota or Angkot) because it is also used as a stopover for many angkot to various destinations.
Bandung Station, like other major railway stations has supplementary facilities and infrastructure for train operation. It has a passenger coach depot on the west side, locomotive depot on the northwestern side, and turntable on the western side; as well as ticket reservation building in north building and cargo area in south building.
The headquarters of the Operational Area II Bandung of the KAI are located to the south of the station; the KAI main headquarters are located further east.
The station is on Kebon Kawung Street in central Bandung. The old station building was on Stasiun Timur street on the southern part of the railroad; later and currently the station has its new building on the northern part of the railroad.
On the Javanese railroad system, Bandung Station is on the Jakarta - Bandung - Yogyakarta - Surabaya railroad route — known as the Southern Java railroad route. The station is 709 meters above sea level.
In the Wajah Bandoeng Tempo Dulu book written by Haryoto Kunto in 1984, the idea to build Bandung Station was related to the opening of plantations in Bandung around 1870. The station was inaugurated on 17 May 1884 during the reign of Regent Koesoemadilaga; at the same time the Batavia-Bandung train line was also opened via Bogor and Cianjur. At the time, plantation landlords (preangerplanters) used the railway to pick up their agricultural products to Batavia quickly. To accommodate and store the products to be transported by train, warehouses were built in several places near Bandung Station, such as in Jalan Cibangkong, Jalan Cikudapateuh, Kosambi, Kiaracondong, Braga, Pasirkaliki, Ciroyom and Andir areas. After the inauguration of Bandung–Surabaya line on 1 November 1894, factory owners and sugar plantations from Central and East Java (Suikerplanters) rented train cars to Bandung to attend the first Congress of Sugar Plantation Entrepreneurs. The congress was the result of a meeting of the Executive Board of the Association of Sugar Plantation Entrepreneurs (Bestuur van de Vereniging van Suikerplanters) in Surabaya in 1896.
