Pasar Senen Station is now relatively better, the service and facilities... and hopefully it will be even better in the future. Only the traffic arrangement towards the entrance needs to be improved together with other stakeholders (local government, transportation agency).

The station is much more comfortable. The entrance area is closed and air-conditioned. The waiting room is comfortable and smoke free. Plus, there are lots of choices of places to eat, so you won't be confused about what to do if you wait a long time. The only classic problem is that the parking is narrow, if it's busy it can be stuck in the station area for a long time.
