Pati Station

Information About Pati Station

Pati is one of the districts in Central Java that is currently not passed by a rail line. Even so, Pati used to have a station called Pati Station which is now a non-active train station. In other words, Pati Station is no longer active in serving rail passengers.

Pati station used to be located in Puri, Pati, Pati district. If you leave from Alun-Alun Pati, you only need to travel about six minutes to arrive at the station location.

Now, the Pati Station area has been converted into cafes and houses. The former Pati Station building is no longer visible, as it is covered by shops and houses in the area.

To get to the Puri area, people can use public transportation or online transportation. If using public transportation, please look for a public transportation heading towards Puri Baru Pati Market. The market location is only about four minutes away from Pati Station.

Transportation Options from Pati Station

Not much public transportation can be found in the Puri area of Pati. Nowadays, the people of Pati prefer to travel by private vehicle, so the number of public transport users has dropped drastically.

According to data from 2022, there are only three public transportation routes that still survive: Pati-Trangkil, Pati-Juwana, and Juwana-Batangan. Some of these public transportations are seen passing through the Pasar Puri Baru area. People in Puri can already use online transportation services to reach other areas more quickly.

Fun Facts About Pati Station

Here is the history of Pati Station that many people may not know.

1. Inaugurated by Samarang-Joana Stoomtram Maatschappij

The history of the establishment of Pati Station began in 1883. Under the control of Samarang-Joana Stoomtram Maatschappij (SJS), the construction of Pati Station was carried out in conjunction with the work on the Kudus-Pati-Juwana railway line which stretched for 37 kilometers.

For additional information, Samarang-Joana Stoomtram Maatschappij (SJS) itself was one of the railroad companies in the Dutch East Indies era. The company used to be responsible for railroad lines around Semarang and the Greater Muria region, Central Java.

In 1884, the construction of the railway line was completed and opened to the public. In the same year, Pati Station was also inaugurated by SJS.

Initially, Pati Station occupied a small building and only had two railway lines. As the years passed, plantation products in the Pati area began to grow. As a result, Pati Station was also renovated by adding four lines and branching the line to Perhutani.

With the expansion of the line at Pati Station, it was hoped that the mobility of passengers and plantation commodities using trains would become easier and smoother. Since then, Pati Station has become increasingly crowded.

2. Formerly included DAOP IV Semarang

While still serving passengers, Pati Station was under the control of DAOP IV Semarang. This station is a class I railway station. Geographically, Pati Station is located at an altitude of about 21 meters above sea level and not far from Puri Pati Station Park and Tugu Bumi Mina Tani.

Besides passing Pati Station, the Semarang-Rembang train also passes through Tawang, Demak, Kudus, Juwana, and Rembang Station. The Semarang-Rembang railway service is known to remain operational until the 1970s.

3. Officially Closed in 1974

The existence of the Pati Station began to decline after the massive construction of communications facilities in the early 1970s. In that year, the government began issuing instructions to build highways to facilitate the distribution process.

These roads were built to connect regional centers, including areas in Central Java such as Demak, Semarang, Kudus, Pati, and Rembang.

As the construction of highways expanded, the number of public transportations such as buses and trucks increased. As a result, the people of that time began to switch from trains to road vehicles.

On the other hand, the quality of train services is said to be declining, as departure times are often late and locomotives are often damaged or dead on the road.

Looking at the circumstances, the number of train enthusiasts is decreasing. Finally, in 1974 the train line to Pati and its surroundings was closed, because of losing competition with public transport and private cars.
