Manggarai Station (MRI, +13m) is the biggest train station in Jakarta, Indonesia. It has as many tracks as Jakarta Kota Station. It serves primarily as a commuter station for the Jabodetabek area, and is operated by PT KCJ. It is near the Bukit Duri depot.

History

Construction of the station in 1910s

Manggarai Station opened on 1 May 1918 even though construction was not fully finished — World War I in Europe delayed the delivery of certain parts of its roof. Its tracks branched to Meester Cornelis (Jatinegara) and continued to Bandung and also to Tanah Abang. The construction was supervised by Van Grendt. The first class waiting room has not changed since the 1910s. The station replaced Meester Cornelis Station, which was located a few hundred meters to the south.
