Surabaya Pasar Turi railway station, Railway station near Turi Market in Bubutan, Indonesia.
Surabaya Pasar Turi Station is a railway hub in Surabaya with eight tracks used mainly for westbound and coastal trains across northern Java. The facility connects several major routes and serves as a junction for travelers heading to other regions.
The station began operations in 1900 when the Dutch railway company Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij opened the line connecting Gundih, Gambringan, and Bojonegoro to Surabaya. This connection was part of colonial infrastructure development and shaped the region's transport network for decades.
The station uses an instrumental version of the song 'Surabaya Oh Surabaya' as its arrival bell, which reflects the local musical tradition of the city.
The station is well-connected by public transport and offers various train connections to major destinations across Java and beyond. Visitors should allow time to orient themselves, as the facility spans a fairly large area with multiple platforms and sections.
The name comes from the adjacent market where vendors historically sold turi flowers, which were used in local cooking. This link between the transport hub and daily life around the market remains visible to visitors today.
