Bandung Station (BD)[1] (Indonesian: Stasiun Bandung, Sundanese: ᮞ᮪ᮒᮞᮤᮇᮔ᮪ ᮘᮔ᮪ᮓᮥᮀ) or Hall Station (Stasiun Hall) is the largest train station in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Managed by Kereta Api Indonesia and its subsidiary KAI Commuter, it serves as the main station for Operational Area II Bandung of the KAI, administering Bandung and Priangan areas. The station, which is located at an altitude of +709 meters, is also the main station for the Bandung metropolitan area.

Originally it only had one station building in the south; but after being repaired by the Bandung city government, it is now divided into two buildings in the north and south. It serves executive class and mostly mixed class intercity trains to various destinations in Java.

Since 2014, Bandung Raya and Cibatu local trains were not served at the north gate, but are only served at the south gate, to improve services to passengers. It is also known as the terminal for share taxis (Indonesian: Angkutan Kota or Angkot) because it is also used as a stopover for many angkot to various destinations.[2]

Bandung Station, like other major railway stations has supplementary facilities and infrastructure for train operation. It has a passenger coach depot on the west side, locomotive depot on the northwestern side, and turntable on the western side; as well as ticket reservation building in north building and cargo area in south building.

The headquarters of the Operational Area II Bandung of the KAI are located to the south of the station; the KAI main headquarters are located further east.
