After Construction, Platforms 6–8 at Bogor Station to Accommodate 12 Train Carriages

BOGOR, KOMPAS.com - PT KAI states that the purpose of the construction of the platform and track on Platforms 6 to 8 at Bogor Station is to provide a larger passenger capacity. Until now, the stamformasi (SF), or the number of carriages in a train before construction, could only accommodate eight to ten carriages. However after the construction, the track on Platforms 6 to 8 can accommodate 12 carriages. A Kompas.com observer at the site noted that construction workers were still working while wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) such as a hard hat, vests, and gloves. Platform 6 concourse appears to have been partially dismantled and iron supports have been installed in places where there is no longer a platform. In addition, there are two small backhoe loaders to assist in the construction of the platforms and tracks at Bogor Station. Franoto explained that for the physical construction such as overhead power lines, the work is nearly complete. However, the construction of the track and platform extensions is still in progress. Earlier, KAI Commuter prepared engineering to alleviate passenger congestion at Bogor Station as a result of the platform and track extension works. It is known that the construction work closes Platforms 6 to 8 at Bogor Station. The closure is expected to last about 90 days. ‘So, for passenger flow there will be a temporary pedestrian area adjacent to the concourse, whose position at Bogor Station is currently closed,’ Karina said at Bogor Station on Wednesday (15/4/2026).
