Jakarta Kota Station ((インドネシア語:stasiun Jakarta Kota), station code: JAKK) is a terminal train station, located in the old city core of Kota, Jakarta, Java, Indonesia. The station was named ''Batavia Zuid''〔(Jakarta Kota station )〕 (or ''South Batavia'') until the beginning of the 20th century. The station was also popularly known as the Beos Station as an abbreviation of ''Bataviasche Ooster Spoorweg Maatschapij'' (the Batavian Eastern Railway Company). Jakarta Kota Station serves as a main station, along with Gambir Station, Jatinegara Station, and Pasar Senen Station, for several intercity train (Argo Train) lines across Java Island. This station also serves three of the six KRL Jabotabek train lines, which operate in the Jakarta metropolitan area. ==History== The first station was built in 1887 by the Bataviasche Oosterspoorweg Maatschapij (''BOS''), a private railway company. The station was named ''Batavia Zuid'' (''South Batavia'') to distinguish it from the older ''Batavia Noord'' (''North Batavia'') station (owned by the Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij, another private railway company), which was situated a small distance to the north, directly behind the former city hall. The public railway company Staatsspoorwegen acquired both the southern and northern station in 1898 and 1913 respectively. The southern ''BOS'' station was closed in 1923,〔 and was rebuilt between 1926 and 1929, during which all rail services were temporarily taken over by the ''Batavia North'' station. The station building was designed in 1927-1928 by the architects Asselbergs, Ghijsels and Hes from the architectural company ''Algemeen Ingenieurs-en Architectenbureau'' (AIA) in Batavia. During construction in 1928-1929 concrete from the ''Hollandsche Beton Maatschappij'' ("Dutch Concrete Company") was used.〔 The main building was the designed with 12 railway tracks, designated to connect Batavia with Buitenzorg, the port of Tandjoeng Priok, and the port of Merak near the Sunda Strait with a ferry connecting Western Java with Southern Sumatra.〔 The new and current building was officially opened on 8 October 1929 with a private ceremony by the company staff.〔"Het nieuwe Station Batavia", ''Bataviaasch Nieuwsblad'', Batavia, 14 October 1929〕 All rail services to the old city were then reassigned to the new southern station, while the remaining northern station was demolished. The new station was nicknamed BEOS after the previous station owners, the ''BOS''. Officially named ''station Batavia Stad'' ("Batavia City station"), it is located at the ''Stationsplein'' ("Station square") in ''Batavia Benedenstad'' ("Downtown Batavia"), nowadays ''Jalan Stasiun Kota Barat''.〔 The station was appointed a historical and cultural landmark status in 1993. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jakarta Kota railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
