History

The line is part of Tanah AbangÃ¢ÂÂRangkasbitung line, built by the Dutch Public Works Bureau (Burgerlijke Openbare Werken/BOW, now Ministry of Public Works) by decree of the Governor General as stipulated in the State Gazette (Staatsblad) No. 180 dated July 15, 1896. BOW constructed Batavia ZuidÃ¢ÂÂDuri line with branches to Tangerang and RangkasbitungÃ¢ÂÂAnyer Kidul. The line between Tanah Abang and Rangkasbitung was formally opened on 1 October 1899.

The track between Tanah Abang and Serpong was electrified in 1991 and completed in 1992. In 2009, railway track between Serpong and Parungpanjang has been fully electrified. Tanah AbangÃ¢ÂÂParungpanjang was the original route of Green Line when it began operation in 2011. Green Line was extended to Maja in 2013. Further extension to Rangkasbitung is operational by 1 April 2017.

Starting on February 2021, all trains starting/ending at Maja station were moved to Tigaraksa station, due to more tracks available at Tigaraksa for idle trains. In June 2025, there were plans to extend the line to Serang.
