Unique Facts About Tangerang Commuter Line Station

1. Accidentally Built

The location of Tangerang Station could be more striking because the front part is crowded with public and personal transportation. The construction is also unintentional, as it was initially only going to build a line across the west of Batavia to Anyer.

Then, the Netherland Railway company – Staatsspoorwegen (SS) – continued the intersection line construction from Duri to Tangerang. The supplementary line along 19 km was formalized on 2 January 1899 and followed by some stations or another bus stop.

2. Transported bamboo hats worldwide

At first, Tangerang Station was not only used as a passenger boarding and alighting place but also their things. Various items, such as agricultural products, had been crossing this station because the location was in the Residence of Batavia. The Chinese controlled the land and planted rice, cassava, and others.

Besides that, there were handcrafts from domestic work or small industries. One of the most worked on was a bamboo hat, also known as Topi Tangerang (Tangerang Hat)

Topi Tangerang was popular in 1913 and reached more than 5 million productions within 26 cents for each. The models and materials are unique, which is why the Chinese and Europeans bought the product through Tanjung Priok Harbour.

3. Got Paralyzed for Several Years After Independence Day

The independence of Indonesia, declared on 17th August 1945, did not necessarily allow people to live peacefully. The security in several areas, including Tangerang, was unstable enough because of Japanese troops and threats from Sekutu.

When the Sekutu entered Indonesia to regain, the battle could not be avoided and had destroyed every facility and infrastructure there. Railways, money orders, and signaling tools in the station had broken, and the connection to Jakarta-Tangerang was cut off.

After recognizing Dutch sovereignty in 1949, the government started to repair and rehabilitate the broken facilities, including the railway. DKA (KAI, today) started fixing, and in 1954, DKA decided to classify stations.
