History

Background

This station is one of the stations that is quite new because it was only opened in 1990 as a recommendation from the first Bintaro train crash in 1987.

Renovation and further development

On August 20, 2020, the Minister of Transportation, Budi Karya Sumadi attended the Groundbreaking New Image and Accessibility Improvement of the Pondok Ranji Station.

Jaya Real Property (JRP) Trisna Muliadi as the manager and developer of Bintaro Jaya.^[5]

Renovations were carried out at most of the stations, by expanding the inside and outside of the station. In addition, there is an additional motorcycle parking location at the end of the station, which was not there before. Two minimarkets are next to each other, namely Alfamart and Indomaret. The renovation was carried out as an effort to develop a more modern transportation system in South Tangerang.

In early 2022, the renovation of Pondok Ranji Station was completed.^[5] This was also marked by the inauguration directly on June 16 2022 by the Minister of Transportation, Budi Karya Sumadi, together with the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), Erick Thohir, which also opened new access from the Station via Bintaro Creative Village.^[6]
