Gondangdia railway station

Gondangdia Station was originally a small railway stop that 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 the Batavia City Council ordered the Staatsspoorwegen (SS) to build a new railway stop as a replacement for the Dierentuin Stop. SS built 2 small railway stops located in Gondangdia and Menteng respectively. This railway stop was inaugurated in 1926 and is strategically located because it is next to the N.V. de Bouwploeg. used by the Taksaka train entering the station in 2023 The active Gondangdia Station is now an elevated station on the Jakarta Kota–Manggarai elevated railway. On 5 June 1992, President Soeharto along with Mrs. Tien Soeharto and the ranks in the government inaugurated the elevated railway by taking the KRL from Gambir to Jakarta Kota Station. == Building and layout ==

Like other Manggarai–Jakarta Kota elevated stations, work on the station was done by Inti Era Cipta, a consortium formed by Encona Engineering, Wiratman, PT Chandra Wahana Raya and PT Asianenco. The project also involved 3 Japanese firms: Pacific Consultant International, Japan Transportation Consultants, and Japan Electrical Consulting. Manggarai-Jakarta Kota elevated stations were designed with post-modernism, incorporating hi-tech aesthetics with local traditional architecture. Stations were designed with bright colors to serve as local landmarks for the area, and also for easy recognition. Juanda station has an jenar yellow eromel metal sheet finish, to prevent the building from vandalism and fires. Originally, the first floor of the station was open-air, before being closed off for more retail space.
