To make the mobility of passengers from
Batavia to
Rangkasbitung to the
Banten area smoother, in the 1890s, the
Staatsspoorwegen company built a railroad line and its stations (including Parung Panjang Station) that connected the
Duri Station to the Rangkasbitung area, passing through the
Tanah Abang area. This project was completed in 1899, and immediately served by various regular trains serving the route. In the early 1990s, it was heard that a plan or master plan for the construction of the Jakarta Outer Ring Railway line was made by the
Ministry of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia from and to Parung Panjang Station, with the aim that freight trains would not enter the Special Capital Region of Jakarta area. This route plan connects Parung Panjang Station to
Cikarang Station and also to
Sungai Lagoa Station. However, due to the
1997 Asian financial crisis, the design of this route was halted in the middle of the project, so that the railway line that has been built only starts from
Citayam Station to
Nambo Station. In the late 1990s, Parung Panjang Station was using old canopy taken from
Angke Station. The use of this canopy did not last long, until it was finally dismantled during the revitalization of the station in 2015. In order to improve commuter rail services, the railway line between
Serpong Station to Parung Panjang Station was also electrified in 2009, followed by Parung Panjang Station to
Maja Station on 17 April 2013. Initially, the station had a total of 4 lines, with line 2 being a straight line. Line 3 which leads to
Cicayur is also a straight track after double track line on the Serpong-Parung Panjang segment was operated on 17 April 2013, followed by line 3 which leads to
Cilejit also becomes a straight track after a double track on the Parung Panjang–
Maja segment operated on 17 December 2015. A storage warehouse was built in the area near Parung Panjang Station, this warehouse is used as a place to store railway materials that are no longer used, such as train signals. In addition to the warehouses, new lines were also built on the emplacement of Parung Panjang Station which were used for loading and unloading and storage or stabling of the ballast train series, and these new lines were also used for the stabling of the KRL series. To increase the occupancy of KRL
Green Line passengers, in 2014-2016, the
Ministry of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia began to massively renovate Parung Panjang, Maja and Kebayoran Stations into 2 levels with modern and magnificent architecture and very complete facilities. On 11 May 2016, the construction of the three stations was completed and inaugurated by the Director General of Railways, Hermanto Dwiatmoko together with the Regent of
Lebak, Iti Octavia Jayabaya, at Maja Station. == Station layout ==
