Primagung Dary Riliananda

The third largest train station in Jakarta after Manggarai and Gambir. Pasar Senen has around six train lines, and serves long-distance departures to various cities on the island of Java. This station also being departure point for government-subsidized economy trains and serves the Commuter Line (specifically to the north-Kampung Bandan and does not serve the south-Jatinegara).
The building have now been renovated. There are many food outlets and mini markets that are open 24 hours. Busy hours are usually just before dawn (many trains from Java arrive in Jakarta) and in the evening (many trains depart from Jakarta at that time). I often take the train from here when I return home in Central Java.
The platform is connected via an underpass and sufficiently protects passengers from the heat and rain. However, there is no access for passengers carrying luggage through the underpass yet, it should be improved again later. Security around the station also needs to be improved, because many online ojek drivers (besides Gojek, Grab and Maxim) often offer themselves in a pushy way and can make passengers feel uncomfortable.
