Also Express Commuter Train (KRL Express) from and to Bogor (Bogor Express and Pakuan Express), Depok (Depok Express) and Bekasi (Bekasi Express) depart from this Station.
The station is often crowded, especially at the end of Ramadhan when many Indonesians return to Jakarta from their home villages.
