BNI City Station (BNC, Indonesian: Stasiun BNI City) is a station for the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Rail Link and KAI Commuter service. Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) holds the naming rights for the station,[2] which was known as Sudirman Baru station (SUDB, English: New Sudirman station) during construction period. The station is located in Central Jakarta,[3] on the north bank of West Flood Canal, about a hundred meters from Sudirman Commuter Rail station. The station is part of Dukuh Atas TOD.
History
Initially, this station was named Sudirman Baru because it is located on the west side of Jalan Jenderal Sudirman. This means that the name of this station must be distinguished from the Old Sudirman Station, which only serves Commuter Line routes. Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI), Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI), and Railink have agreed to name this station as BNI City as a strategy to create synergies between state-owned enterprises. BNI participates in managing this station with PT Railink and PT KAI; by providing supporting facilities such as ATMs and ticket machines.[4]

Sudirman Baru Station began serving passengers on 26 December 2017 and was inaugurated on 2 January 2018. With the presence of this station, it will facilitate the mobility of airport passengers, both from Soekarno–Hatta International Airport and from Jakarta and Tangerang.[5]
As of 30 July 2022, BNI City start serving KAI Commuter Cikarang Loop Line's passengers. This operation is aim to share the density of passengers at Sudirman Station by 40%. This operations are carried out by separating the gate and the flow of incoming/outgoing passengers between Commuter Line and airport rail link, but the platform has not been separated between the two services.[6] Anne Purba as the VP Corporate Secretary of KAI Commuter denied reports that the Karet Station would be closed due to the operation of the KRL in Sudirman Baru.[7][8]
On 1 January 2025, Minister of State-Owned Enterprises Erick Thohir announced the closure of Karet Station due to the absence of this station on the 2025 Grafik Perjalanan Kereta Api (GAPEKA). The closure was accommodated by adding a footpath on the banks of the Ciliwung River (riverwalk) and a corridor connected to BNI City Station. The merger of this station with BNI City Station is expected to improve the railway ecosystem and optimize services to passengers.[9][10]
Along with the merger of Karet Station and BNI City Station, PT KAI announced the transfer of Airport Train services from BNI City Station to Sudirman Station in April 2025, so that passengers from the LRT station who want to go to Soekarno-Hatta Airport no longer need to go to BNI City so that the performance of Airport Train occupancy can increase. The transfer will initially be carried out by opening services at both stations, Sudirman Station and BNI City Station.[11]
On 1 September 2026, Karet Station was officially closed for merger renovation and all services were transferred to BNI City Station. Before that, a new entrance and western end of the latter's building were added to provide access to the K.H. Mas Mansyur street west of Karet Station via a promenade along the canal enbankment.[12] The merger is planned to be completed on 31 December 2026.
