Then&now: Batavia train station 🇮🇩

The Dutch colonial train station of Batavia, or Batavia Zuid (Batavia South) as it was also known, is the second station building in this location, built between 1926 and 1926. The area in front of it has recently been renovated as a pedestrian zone and will have access to the Jakarta metro in a few years time as well.
