Manggarai Station is a railway station in Jakarta that serves the Greater Jakarta Commuterline and Soekarno–Hatta Airport Rail Link. The station is being expanded to become the new terminus station for most intercity trains, replacing Gambir Station. The station doesn’t include the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway (that will be at Halim Station).
The ground floor level will serve the Bekasi commuter line and the airport train. Long-distance trains will be served on the second floor, along with the Bogor commuter line. It will be the second-largest railway station in Southeast Asia (after Bang Sue Grand Station in Bangkok).

By adopting the concept of TOD, many buildings with a different function could be integrated to provide an easy, safe and comfort life for users.
