It is completely state-owned and pays track access charges to the government. The headquarters of KAI are located in Bandung, West Java. History Kereta Api Indonesia is the latest of a long line of successive state railway companies dating from Dutch colonial days. Exactly on 27 August 1864, the first railway company in Indonesia was established by the Dutch colonial government as ''Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij'' (NIS) with Samarang-Tanggung as its maiden route. The first ground breaking was carried out in Kemijen Village and inaugurated by L.A.J.W. Baron Sloet van de Beele. Another railway company, ''Staatsspoorwegen'' was established, and their route stretched from Buitenzorg to Soerabaja. The Dutch colonial government also established '' Deli Spoorweg Maatschappij'' in North Sumatra, to trans ...

Island Platform
An island platform (also center platform, centre platform) is a station layout arrangement where a single platform is positioned between two tracks within a railway station, tram stop or transitway interchange. Island platforms are popular on twin-track routes due to pragmatic and cost reasons. They are also useful within larger stations where local and express services for the same direction of travel can be provided from opposite sides of the same platform thereby simplifying transfers between the two tracks. An alternative arrangement is to position side platforms on either side of the tracks. The historical use of island platforms depends greatly upon the location. In the United Kingdom the use of island platforms is relatively common when the railway line is in a cutting or raised on an embankment, as this makes it easier to provide access to the platform without walking across the tracks. Advantages and tradeoffs Island platforms are necessary for any station with many th ...

Side Platform
A side platform (also known as a marginal platform or a single-face platform) is a platform positioned to the side of one or more railway tracks or guideways at a railway station, tram stop, or transitway. A station having dual side platforms, one for each direction of travel, is the basic design used for double-track railway lines (as opposed to, for instance, the island platform where a single platform lies between the tracks). Side platforms may result in a wider overall footprint for the station compared with an island platform where a single width of platform can be shared by riders using either track. In some stations, the two side platforms are connected by a footbridge running above and over the tracks. While a pair of side platforms is often provided on a dual-track line, a single side platform is usually sufficient for a single-track line. Layout Where the station is close to a level crossing (grade crossing) the platforms may either be on the same side of the cross ...
