BOW constructed Batavia Zuid–Duri line with branches to Tangerang and Rangkasbitung–Anyer Kidul. The line between Tanah Abang and Rangkasbitung was formally opened on 1 October 1899.

Green Line was extended to Maja in 2013.[4] Further extension to Rangkasbitung is operational by 1 April 2017.[5] And the future extension to Serang and Merak in 2021 and elongation platform for 12 cars formation in this 2020.
