Bengawan is an economy class train that serves the Purwosari-Pasar Senen route via the central and southern railway lines of Java Island.

Contents

The name of this train comes from the longest river that crosses several areas on Java Island, namely Bengawan. [1]

Operation

This train first operated on the Solo Jebres-Tanah Abang route via Pasar Senen before changing its terminus station to Tanjung Priok in 2013. A year later, there were two route cuts, namely from Solo Jebres to Purwosari on 1 February 2014 and Pasar Senen from Tanjung Priok nine months later.

In the last three years, the train has added stops at Cikarang since March 2022, Pegaden Baru since June 2023, and Kebasen since December 2024. [2]
