Sudirman Station (SUD, formerly Dukuh Atas Station) is a train station of KRL Commuterline, which is located in Menteng, Central Jakarta, Indonesia. The station is named from Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, one of the main avenues in Jakarta, which crosses above the station. This station is located on the north bank of West Flood Canal. Though the station itself is operated by KAI Commuter and only serves Commuterline trains, it is a transit point for other modes of public transportation, such as the Dukuh Atas BNI MRT and LRT stations, as well as Transjakarta bus stops Dukuh Atas and Galunggung, as part of the Dukuh Atas TOD.

The station opened on 5 July 1986, and is located on the central portion of the Cikarang Loop Line which operates between Cikarang station and Kampung Bandan station. It is located between Manggarai station to the east, and BNI City station to the west. The station used to serve the original Loop Line which operates between Bogor station and Jatinegara station before its closing on 27 May 2022.

Located in Jakarta's CBD and surrounded by some of the most prominent buildings and places in Jakarta, the station is one of the most important transportation nodes in the Jabodetabek region, with the station always being crowded, especially during rush hour. Following the opening of the Dukuh Atas MRT and LRT stations and the revitalization of the surrounding station area, it is one of the busiest stations in the Commuterline network, averaging 17.000 passengers served per day as of 2022.

History Sudirman station was originally opened on 5 July 1986 under the name Dukuh Station (DKH), with the inauguration by Indonesian president Soeharto and First Lady Tien Soeharto. However, the station's name was changed in 2003 to coincide with the operation of the Sudirman Express KRL which underwent two trials in March and August 2003.

Following the implementation of electronic ticketing and the introduction of the multi-trip card (Kartu Multi Trip/KMT) in 2019, Sudirman Station, along with 5 other stations on the Commuterline network, discontinued the sale of single-trip cards (Tiket Harian Berjaminan/THB) as of 1 August 2019. It is part of an effort to cut down queueing times and streamline the flow of passengers throughout the network, and to encourage passenger transition into KMT and electronic tickets. The station would continue to accept THB tickets before it was officially discontinued on 3 September 2022.

In 2018, as part of the redevelopment plan of Dukuh Atas into a transit-oriented development, the area surrounding Sudirman Station would be revitalized to improve its connectivity with the future underground Dukuh Atas MRT station, the above ground Jabodebek LRT station of the same name, as well as surrounding Transjakarta BRT stations, with the aim of creating a new central transportation hub in Central Jakarta. This included the construction of Sudirman Baru station (later BNI City station) to the west between it and Karet station to accommodate for the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport railway link.

Currently, Sudirman Station is connected to Dukuh Atas BNI MRT station via the Kendal tunnel, a former vehicle underpass which was converted into a pedestrian area in 2019 as part of the redevelopment project. Sudirman Station is also within walking distance to Transjakarta BRT stations Dukuh Atas, which serves corridor 1, and Galunggung, which serves corridor 4 and 6. In 2022, to alleviate crowding on the station, the nearby BNI City began serving Cikarang Loop Line trains starting 30 July 2022. On 28 August 2023, a multi-purpose crossing bridge that connects the station with the Dukuh Atas LRT station was opened to the public.

Station layout This station has two railway tracks. Both tracks are straight tracks without railroad switch.
