Bandung railway station, Railway station in Bandung, Indonesia.
Bandung railway station is an active transport hub in the West Javan city, connecting the region to Jakarta, Surabaya and other destinations across the Indonesian rail network. The station has seven platforms and ten tracks that handle trains for long-distance and regional routes each day.
Regent Koesoemadilaga opened the station in 1884 to let plantation owners move their harvests through the area. Since then, the building has been expanded and modernized several times while keeping parts of the original facade.
The station takes its name from the city and became a central point in local life, where travelers from different regions arrive and depart each day. The southern platform preserves colorful glass windows in a geometric style that recall the colonial architecture of the 1920s.
Travelers find ticket offices, baggage checks and bicycle parking inside the building. Buses and taxis wait outside the exit, offering connections to other parts of town.
In 2022, the station introduced a facial recognition system that lets passengers board without physical tickets. This technology was among the first of its kind in Indonesia and has since been extended to other stations.
