There is a passageway connecting Sudirman station with BNI City station and Dukuh Atas station of Jakarta MRT.

As the station is located in Jakarta's CBD and is surrounded by some of the most prominent buildings and places in Jakarta, therefore the station is always crowded, especially in rush hour.

History

edit

Sudirmsn station was originally named Dukuh Station (DKH). However, the station's name has changed since 2003 as the operation of the Sudirman Ekspres KRL underwent two trials in March and August 2003.[3]

Platform 1 of the station in February 2022

On the plan to build a mass transportation line in Jakarta, Sudirman Station is planned to be the main station. Currently, Sudirman Station is connected to Dukuh Atas BNI MRT station and intermodal stations for all types of transportation in Jakarta.[4] Sudirman Station is also close to TransJakarta BRT corridor 1 (Blok MKota), corridor 4 (Dukuh Atas 2–Pulo Gadung) and corridor 6 (Dukuh Atas 2–Ragunan). On 28 August 2023, a multi-purpose crossing bridge that connects this station with the Dukuh Atas LRT Station was opened to the public.[5][6]
