JAKARTA - PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI ensures that Jatake Station in Tangerang Regency will start operating in 2026. The new station on the Tanah Abang-Rangkasbitung Commuter Line is projected to be able to serve up to 20,000 passengers per day.
KAI President Director Bobby Rasyidin said that currently the Jatake Station is currently in the finalization stage together with the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub).
"Welcoming 2026, this new station continues to be prepared through the finalization stage with the Directorate General of Railways of the Ministry of Transportation, before it starts serving the public," said Bobby in an official statement, Monday, December 29.
Bobby said the presence of Jatake Station was a response to the significant growth in the number of users of the Rangkasbitung cross Commuter Line in recent years. Bobby said, strengthening infrastructure is the key to maintaining the reliability of mass transportation services.
KAI data shows that the number of Commuter Line users across Rangkasbitung continues to increase, from 43,317,716 users in 2022 to 62,085,471 users in 2023. The figure increased again to 69,999,362 users in 2024 and reached 70,496,181 users from January to November 2025.
Jatake Station was developed with the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) concept which integrates transportation functions with the activity of the area. This station stands on an area of 2,435 square meters with a three-story building with an area of around 3,000 square meters. Located at KM 37+045 across Tanah Abang-Rangkasbitung, this station is equipped with a 250-meter platform with a width of 6 meters each.
"This growth shows the public's increasing need for reliable mass transportation services. Jatake Station is prepared to meet this need by providing closer access, more organized travel, and more even passenger distribution," said Bobby.
Meanwhile, KAI Vice President of Corporate Communication Anne Purba explained that the Jatake Station facility was designed to support the needs of Commuter Line users as a whole. Inside the station building there are passenger activity areas, commercial zones, and KAI office spaces.
Meanwhile, in the outside area, Anne continued, facilities for parking two-wheeled, four-wheeled, and bicycle vehicles, as well as an additional development area of approximately 4,000 square meters have been prepared.
"Jatake Station is being prepared as a new service node that supports the smooth boarding and disembarking of passengers, as well as encouraging the movement of the region's growing economy," said Anne.
In terms of services, Jatake Station will serve the Tanah Abang-Rangkasbitung cross Commuter Line which includes Tanah Abang, Palmerah, Kebayoran, Pondok Ranji, Jurang Mangu, Sudimara, Rawa Buntu, Serpong, Cisauk, Cicayur, Jatake, Parung Panjang, Cilejit, Daru, Tenjo, Tigaraksa, Cikoya, Maja, Citeras, to Rangkasbitung. The addition of this station is expected to strengthen passenger distribution and improve the smoothness of daily mobility of the community.

Currently, KAI together with the Directorate General of Railways of the Ministry of Transportation is still testing the infrastructure and operational readiness to ensure safety and security aspects before the station officially serves the public.
"With the strengthening of safety, comfort, and reliability of services, the presence of Jatake Station is expected to further increase public confidence in trains as the main choice for daily mobility in the Tangerang area and its surroundings," concluded Anne.
