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 from each other, making it one of the shortest stretches 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 along with the Cikarang loop line, 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. As the VP Corporate Secretary of KAI Commuter, Anne Purba said that the Karet Station is not closed and would still serve KRL users. Related to this, KAI Commuter operates the station to divide traffic density by up to 40%.[3][4] On the 30th of January 2025, KAI Commuter announced the closure of Karet station in February 2025, however, it was delayed till April 2025.[5][6]
