Cikini Station is arailway station located on Jl. Cikini Raya,Cikini, Menteng,Jakarta. This station is only served byKRL Commuterline commuter trains fromJakarta Kota toDepok andBogor.

Cikini Station was originally a smallrailway stop which was built as a replacement for the Dierentuin railway stop. At that time, the Batavia City Council considered the location of the Dierentuin Stop to be bizarre and impractical for the development of the Gondangdia and Menteng areas. So that the Batavia City Council ordered theStaatsspoorwegen (SS) to build a new train stop as a replacement for the Dierentuin Stop. SS built 2 small bus stops located in Gondangdia and Menteng respectively. This railway stop was inaugurated in 1926 and was namedTjikini.^[1]

Until the late 1980s, to the south of this station, before Manggarai Station there used to be a train stop, namely Pegangsaan Stop which is located right on the north side of Jalan Diponegoro. The Pegangsaan railway stop was demolished in the late 1980s, when an elevated railroad was built betweenManggarai andJakarta Kota. From this railway stop, there was a branch line to Salemba Station.^[2][3]

Before the 1990s there was a railway track branching off to an opium factory located inKramat and further on to the Rajawali–Jatinegara railway. After the factory closed in 1981, this side-track was dismantled.^[3]

Cikini Station, which is currently active, is an elevated railway station which is located in the southernmost part of theJakarta Kota–Manggarai railway. On 5 June 1992, PresidentSoeharto along withMrs. Tien Soeharto and the ranks in the government inaugurated the elevated railway by taking the KRL fromGambir toJakarta Kota Station.^[4][5][6]

Since 1 August 2019, this station, together withSudirman,Palmerah,UI andTaman Kota Stations, has officially abolished the sale of single trip cards (Guaranteed Daily Tickets/THB) for KRL Commuter Lines. This is because the majority of KRL Commuter Line passengers are used to using multi-trip cards and electronic money. In this way, long queues to buy KRL tickets can be cut. However, service users can still tap-in/tap-out withTHB cards at this station.^[7][8]

The Cikini Station building is modern with a touch ofbrown panels which are still maintained to this day and have never been painted, only the platform pillars are now repainted to abeige color. It is known that the project, which began in February 1988, spent Rp. 432.5 billion and was not fully completed when it was inaugurated, so that it was fully operational a year later.^[5][6]

This station has only two railway lines. On the south side of this station there is a branch to the upper floor of theManggarai Station, as part of the Manggarai Station renovation project.
