Location

Depok Baru Station (DPB) or commonly known as Margonda Station is a class I railway station in Pancoran Mas, Depok, West Java, Indonesia, serving only KRL Commuterline services. It is located +93m above sea level, and is located precisely behind Depok City Hall, ITC Depok shopping mall, and the Margonda Depok Bus Terminal, which is opposite the Depok City Police headquarters.

The inauguration date of the Depok Baru Station is unknown, but it was reported that it was almost finished in early 1986, and was renovated in 1992.[2][3]

History

Depok Baru station (initially Depok Jaya) was built to supplement the existing Depok station, as well as providing railway access to residents of Depok I and Depok II residential areas developed by Perumnas, with land clearing process completed around mid-January 1983.[4] On 19 February 1983, the station's construction was officially broke ground, and the ceremony was attended by then Indonesian Transportation Minister Roesmin Noerjadin.[5] On 13 February 1986, the newspaper Berita Yudha reported that the physical construction of Depok Baru station was almost finished. However, the exact date of its opening remained unknown.[2]

Since 25 March 2021, this station, along with Bekasi, Tanah Abang, Kranji, Depok, Jakarta Kota, Bojong Gede, Citayam, Parung Panjang, and Angke stations has officially ceased the sale of single trip cards (Guaranteed Daily Ticket (Indonesian: Tiket Harian Berjaminan or THB)) for KRL Commuterline services. This is because the majority of KRL Commuterline passengers are used to using multi-trip cards and electronic money. In this way, long queues to buy KRL tickets can be cut.[6]

Building and layout

This station has three railway lines with lines 1 and 3 as a straight track. This station has access to the crossing via the top which is located in the middle of the platform, but is no longer used because access to the crossing is now via the pedestrian tunnel.

Incidents

As a result, the KRL immediately crashed the female doctor.[8]
  • On 2 May 2022, there was a fire in the Pasar Kemiri Depok area, causing disruption to the Depok Baru-Bogor/Nambo KRL trips and the opposite direction because the electricity on the overhead power lines was cut.
