Incidents
[edit]- On 31 July 2010 at 01:45 WIB, Pondok Cina Station was destroyed by a great fire. The ticket counters and several kiosks around the station were also destroyed. When the incident occurred, dozens of residents were unable to take any action to extinguish the fire. This is because Pondok Cina Station is far from a water source. About 40 minutes later, at 02.30 WIB, the Depok Fire Department finally arrived. The fire was then extinguished around 04.00 WIB. Even so, this fire did not disrupt the signaling of incoming trains.[7]
- On 20 January 2022 at 13:25 WIB, The KRL Commuterline train bound for Bogor collided with a student member of the University of Indonesia Faculty of Pharmacy student body who lives in East Jakarta on behalf of Bonita Melia Simatupang, aged 24, when she was about to take her bachelor's degree. The victim initially broke through the rail of the train door and was about to cross the rails. At the time of crossing the victim did not realize that a KRL was about to enter Pondok China Station, the position of the train was very fast and the victim was wearing a headset at that time. The victim's body was picked up and brought home by his family to be buried according to Christian teachings.[8]
