  Karet Station Location in Jakarta |
Karet Station (KAT[1]) is a railway station located in Kebon Melati, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta. This station lies on the north bank of West Flood Canal. This station only serves Commuterline trains. This station and Sudirman station are spaced only 0.8 km between each other, making it one of the shortest stretch between any two stations in the network. It only takes one minute to travel between these two stations.[2] BNI City railway station, a station that serves Soekarno–Hatta Airport Rail Link exclusively, is wedged between these two station.
Regarding the discourse on closing this station as a result of the operation of the Sudirman Baru Station (BNI City), KAI Commuter has denied this discourse. Anne Purba as the VP Corporate Secretary KAI Commuter said that Karet Station is not closed and would still be used to serve KRL users. Related to this, KAI Commuter operates the station to divide traffic density by up to 40%[3][4]
