History

thumb|left|A steam train stopped at Buduran station, circa 1900s.During the Dutch East Indies era, Staatsspoorwegen once established the status of a railway station in Buduran as a halt, equivalent to a class III or small station, equipped with buildings like other small stations, which were later inactivated. The original station building may have been torn down a long time ago.

On 9 February 2004, along with the launch of the Delta Express, the President Megawati Soekarnoputri was inaugurated the newly rebuilt station building.[2] However, on 10 February 2021, the passenger service at this station was discontinued so that now not a single commuter train service stops at this station.

Services

Starting 10 February 2021 there will be no more passenger services at this station.
