The Pink Line traces its origins back to a railway line built from 1883 to 1885 during the Dutch colonial era, to connect the city of Jakarta to Tanjung Priok Port.

Initially, Ancol was not opened at the time the line was fully operational.

The segment between Kampung Bandan and Jakarta Kota is shared with a minority service of half-racket, counterclockwise Cikarang Loop Line that terminates at Jakarta Kota.

However, this service is very rarely available and is not acknowledged on the map, making it relatively obscure and leaving Tanjung Priok Line as the main feeder between the two stations.
