History

The station was first opened on 15 September 1871 as Noordwijk Station, a train halt located on the Batavia–Weltevreden section, the first section of the Batavia–Buitenzorg railway line which was inaugurated by the Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS). Noordwijk Station later changed its name to Pintu Air Station in the 1950s.[2][3]

By the 1990s, Pintu Air Station was massively reconstructed into an elevated station. The remodeled station was inaugurated as one of the Manggarai–Jakarta Kota elevated stations on 5 June 1992, along with a name change into Juanda Station. At the time, President Suharto along with his wife Siti Hartinah and other ranks in the government inaugurated the flyover by taking the electric train from Gambir Station to Jakarta Kota Station.[4]
