Bogor railway station
Bogor Station (BOO) is a major railway hub in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia, about 246 meters above sea level. Opened in 1873 and rebuilt in 1881, it was formerly known as Buitenzorg Station and was built by Dutch railway companies. The station’s Indische Empire and Neoclassical design gives it a distinctive European-influenced look, with a grand main building and an adjacent platform building.
The station has eight tracks and several platforms, including six island platforms and two side platforms. It serves as the terminus for the KRL Commuterline Bogor Line to Jakarta Kota, and since 2022 the Pangrango intercity trains have also stopped there. Intercity services were moved from Bogor to nearby Bogor Paledang for longer journeys.
Key improvements over the years include a 2016 addition of a 570-square-meter hall to ease passenger flow and the 2021 reopening of the east entrance, which connects directly to Bogor City Square. The gate arrangement was updated in 2021 to better handle crowds, and a marble inscription in the VIP area honors engineer David Maarschalk.
Bogor Station remains busy with commuters traveling between Bogor and Jakarta and offers facilities such as parking, accessibility features, and ticket services. The station handled about 17 million passengers in 2018.
