"Historic train station that continues to be modernized to meet the demands of its users. The place is comfortable, the facilities (ATM, FnB vendors, toilets, prayer room, parking building, etc.), services, etc. are increasingly being improved. Even going for a walk and hanging out with friends and family here, or around here, is also nice."

"This place is the first station if you'd like take a travel from Bogor to Sukabumi city. After Ministry of Transportation under central government of Repulic of Indonesia upgrade and rebuild all transportation infrastructure around the country, this station now have a new look and more neat & clean. They furnished by public rest room, musholla, waiting room and wide parking lot."

"It's one of the outer station which serve commuter rail to Jakarta. After the renovation, I can say that this station is beautiful,good design and so much space. They have many staff working to help people. But,as a Jakarta resident, I feel sad when I see this station, I don't know what's wrong with the Bogor peoples, but this station is always dirty compared to Jakarta's (except at the very early morning and night when they have already cleaned the trash), you can find trash easily, especially on the entrance and exit area. And that trash things become more nasty when you walk around on the outside station area. When busy time, there is always people walk on the wrong path (they come in to station on the exit way,etc). My suggestion to make this station better:
1. Give more trash can so can accommodate the lazy people to throw the trash on it's place,
2. Hire more staff to organize peoples and remind them when they will littering
3. Change the entrance and exit area, current condition is very bad for disabled peoples, because we need to use stairs to get there.
4. Build a waiting area with chairs, current condition is some people sit on the floor and that is not good view.
Anyway, I attached the night photo of this station, as we can see, this station have good chance to be better, just make people have responsibility to maintain and take care of the station, especially about trash."
