History

This station is a train station located on the first section of the Batavia–Buitenzorg railway line which was inaugurated by the Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS), namely the Batavia–Weltevreden section. At first, this station was a small stop which was inaugurated on 15 September 1871, simultaneously with the opening of the first section of the railroad line. This station was named Noordwijk Station which later changed its name to Pintoe-air Station (Pintu Air Station after the enactment of the Republican Spelling System) during the Japanese occupation of Indonesia.[3][4]
In the 1990s, Pintu Air Station was massively reconstructed into an elevated station. The remodeled station was inaugurated as one of the Manggarai–Jakarta Kota elevated stations on 5 June 1992, along with a name change to Juanda Station. At the time, President Suharto along with his wife Siti Hartinah and other ranks in the government inaugurated the elevated railway by taking the electric train from Gambir Station to Jakarta Kota Station.[5][6][7]
Building and layout
The Juanda Station building has a modern design with a touch of azure panels which are still maintained to this day and have never been painted, only the pillars of the platform have been changed to pale blue, before finally repainting to azure in 2022. It is known that the project, which began in February 1988, spent Rp. 432.5 billion and at the time it was inaugurated was not fully completed until it was fully operational a year later.[3][7]
This station has two railway lines.
