Pasar Senen Station (PSE)[1] is a railway station located in Jakarta, Indonesia. It is the second largest railway station in Jakarta after Gambir Station. It is located close to Pasar Senen market area in Senen, Senen, Central Jakarta. The current building was built in 1918 and inaugurated on 19 March 1925.

Pasar Senen only serves Economy and Business class intercity train except Gumarang and Sawunggalih. It also serves as a station for northbound KRL Commuterline trains.

History

[edit]

Background

[edit]

The name of this train station comes from a market with the same name. It is called Pasar Senen because this market is only open on Mondays; founded by the Colonial Government in 1733 to revive the economy of the Weltevreden people who later became Gambir, Central Jakarta.[2][3][4]

During the leadership of Governor General Petrus Albertus van der Parra, Pasar Senen was getting busier so that it was open every day. Many Chinese traders opened their businesses in this market. Since independence until 1975, Pasar Senen has continued to be developed as a center for Senen trading and has become the backbone of Jakarta's economy at that time.[4]

First generation (1887–1925)

[edit]
The first generation of the Pasar Senen Station

The development of Pasar Senen requires adequate transportation facilities, especially trains. This station was opened by the Bataviasche Oosterspoorweg Maatschappij (BOS) on 31 March 1887 as a small stop. The opening of this station coincided with the opening of the Batavia-Bekasi railway line. The line was then bought by Staatsspoorwegen (SS) in 1898 because of BOS' debt which was swelling.[5]

In 1904, De Ingenieur magazine mentioned that this station had undergone renovations (possibly changing the building to become permanent). This development is also part of the construction of the Kemayoran Station, which both cost ƒ350,000.00.[6] This first generation station building was Indische Empire style, small, and had an arc overcapping roof similar to the Maos, Kutoarjo, and Purworejo Stations.[7]

Second generation (1925–now)

[edit]

As passenger traffic increased, Pasar Senen Station was rebuilt with a fairly large face. Because it was affected by the construction of the new station, the old Pasar Senen Station had to be torn down. The station opened on 19 March 1925 after eight years of construction.[7] Having the layout of an island station, this station is equipped with two underground tunnels. There are two tunnels, one for departing passengers and one for exiting the station.[8]

This rebuilding was carried out to welcome the operation of the SS's new service, the electric multiple unit and to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the SS on 6 April 1925. SS presented a number of magnificent train stations in Batavia which were expected to provide passenger satisfaction.[9]

Currently the station building has the status of a cultural heritage by the Central Unit for Preservation and Architectural Design of PT KAI, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta. Determination of cultural heritage status is based on the Decree of the Minister of Culture and Tourism No: PM.13/PW.007/MKP/05 and Decree of the Governor of DKI Jakarta No. 475 of 1993.[10]

Building and layout

[edit]

Main building

[edit]

The station has six railway lines with lines 3 and 4 being straight tracks. This building was designed by J. van Gendt, with a Neo-Indische architectural style. Its vernacular character is very prominent, it can be seen from the dominating pyramid roof with eaves added above the entrance hall to protect the building from rainwater seepage, and when viewed from the outside it looks like a two-story building. The doors are in Romanesque style with exposed roof consoles.[11]

This station became popular because it was always visited by travelers who wanted to use rail services to various destinations on the island of Java.[12] In order to make passenger arrangements more comfortable, the Jakarta Operational Area I provides separate doors according to the type of train, namely for long-distance trains and for KRL Commuterline. In addition, there is also an underground tunnel that connects the platform lines 1 to 3 and lines 4 to 6.[13]

A monument at the front of the station called the "Tekad Merdeka Monument" or "Monumen Perjuangan Senen" commemorates the bloodshed against the Allied forces in the area of Senen on 29 September 1945. It was inaugurated on 2 May 1982 by the Mayor of Central Jakarta, A. Munir. This monument was made with cement stone lathe cast concrete construction and was imported from Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta.[14]

Supporting transportation

[edit]

The frontage of Pasar Senen Station has undergone a complete overhaul and was inaugurated by Minister of State-Owned Enterprises Erick Thohir, Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi, and the Governor of Jakarta Anies Baswedan on 17 June 2020. This renovation program is a collaborative project of KAI, the government of Jakarta, and the Jakarta MRT. The 1,427.5 m2 land in front of the station is made into a plaza with pedestrian and disabled access and is integrated with the Pasar Senen and Senen Central TransJakarta BRT Stations as well as online motorcycle taxis and auto-rickshaw pick-up points. In order to create a healthy area, the plaza also has a shade canopy, green open space and bicycle parking racks.[16]
