This station is only served by KRL Commuterline commuter trains from Jakarta Kota to Depok and Bogor.

At that time, the Batavia City Council considered the location of the Dierentuin Stop to be bizarre and impractical for the development of the Gondangdia and Menteng areas.

The Pegangsaan railway stop was demolished in the late 1980s, when an elevated railroad was built between Manggarai and Jakarta Kota.

This is because the majority of KRL Commuter Line passengers are used to using multi-trip cards and electronic money.

[7][8] The Cikini Station building is modern with a touch of brown panels which are still maintained to this day and have never been painted, only the platform pillars are now repainted to a beige color.
