Rangkasbitung Station (RK)[1] is a railway station located in East Muara Ciujung, Rangkasbitung, Lebak Regency, Banten. It is the main station of Lebak Regency. This station has a small rail yard to keep passenger coaches and goods carriages. This yard also keeps locomotives from Jakarta which serve trains from Jakarta Kota. All train services that pass this station stop in this station.

Since 1 April 2017, KRL Commuterline commenced operations from Tanah Abang Station to Rangkasbitung Station, formerly terminating at Maja Station. Therefore, local services such as Kalimaya, Langsam and Rangkas Jaya, which terminate at Angke and Tanah Abang Station, have stopped operations.[3]

Starting on 3 November 2020, the elimination of single-trip card (Tiket Harian Berjaminan or THB card) sales was carried out at this station in stages in order to reduce passenger contact in anticipation of the transmission of COVID-19 spread. However, passengers can still tap-in/tap-out with THB cards at the station.[4]
