Bangunkarta is an Indonesian passenger train, operated by Kereta Api Indonesia. It runs between Jakarta Pasar Senen and Jombang via Purwokerto, Yogyakarta, and Madiun.
The train runs daily each way between Jombang Regency and Jakarta.
The train's name is a portmanteau of the names of the cities and regencies that the train service passes through: Jombang, Madiun, and DKI Jakarta.
The Bangunkarta train was first run by KAI on 10 January 1985 between Jakarta and Jombang, as a replacement for the Tebuireng train economy class service. On 24 December 1994, the train service was upgraded to include business class service, and then ran only as business class from 1 August 1996.[1]
On 5 December 2009, the Bangunkarta train service class was changed to only serve executive class, using former Gajayana trains.[2]
On 17 December 2013, the Bangunkarta train route extended to Surabaya Gubeng via Solo Jebres and Semarang Tawang to meet/accommodate the people of Surabaya and surrounding areas who want to travel to Jakarta. The Bangunkarta train operation was transferred from Operation Area VII Madiun to Operation Area VIII Surabaya. Along with this change, the train set was transferred from the Madiun train Depot (MN) to the Sidotopo Train Depot (SDT) in Surabaya.[3]
