Unique Facts About Daru Station

1. The real meaning of Daru

Daru Station, which is located in the middle of Daru Village, has a deep meaning in its name. In Hindi, “Daru” means shooting star, while in Arabic, it is interpreted as home. This combination of meanings creates an impression of beauty and convenience, becoming an affordable solution for workers trying to reach the capital Jakarta with limited income.

2. It was originally named Pos Daru: witness to the History of Plantations and Railways

Daru Station has a long history during the Dutch colonial period. The surrounding area was once a plantation inhabited by Dutch citizens, marked by Dutch graves that still exist. Daru village used to have plantations with coconut and lemongrass plants for lemongrass oil. Originally known as Pos Daru, this station witnessed the evolution of Indonesian railways from lorries connecting plantations to Daru Station as we know it today.

3. Responsibilities Under the Head of Cilejit Station

Daru Station currently remains under the responsibility of Cilejit Head Station. This creates challenges, especially in terms of financial reporting and passenger numbers. Even though it serves the Rangkasbitung - Angke local train, the reports to the Indonesian Train Company are still in the name of Cilejit Station. In the past, passengers reached 1200 to 1300 people per day, but over time, the switching to the commuter line of Maja-Tanah Abang line and fare adjustments in April 2015 caused the number of passengers to decrease to 600 per day. However, Daru Station remains a historic part of Indonesian railways.
