History
Construction of the station in 1910s, it was then located in Meester Cornelis, (Dutch East Indies)

Manggarai Station opened on 1 May 1918 even though construction was not fully finished — World War I in Europe delayed the delivery of certain parts of its roof. Its tracks branched to Meester Cornelis (Jatinegara) and continued to Bandung and also to Tanah Abang. The construction was supervised by Van Grendt. The first class waiting room has not changed since the 1910s. The station replaced the second Meester Cornelis Station, which was located a few hundred meters to the south.[2]

Facilities and Development
A daily commuter line passing the Manggarai station.

Manggarai Station is not just a station, it is also as a parking place for intercity trains before the trains transfer to Gambir Station or Jakarta Kota Station for their departure. The station is also the terminus of the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Rail Link express and commuter train service.

At present the station is undergoing development with a three-level station. It is planned that there will be 8 railways lanes on the ground floor, which will be used by Bekasi line of Greater Jakarta Commuter Railway and Airport rail. Meanwhile, on the second floor there will be 10 railway tracks, which will serve long-distance trains and Bogor line of metro rail. After completion, Manggarai prepared to be the largest transit station, not only for metro rail, but also the starting point for departure of long-distance trains and Soekarno-Hatta Airport Trains. There will be a housing and commercial complex, and a 5 star hotel also surrounding the station.[3]
