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 layout

edit

Initially, 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]
