History

Unlike other stations in Surabaya which were built by Staatsspoorwegen (SS) and Oost-Java Stoomtram Maatschappij (OJSM), Surabaya Pasarturi Station was built by the first private railway company in the Dutch East Indies, Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS). After making profits in the 1890s, NIS applied for concessions to build new lines, and they received a concession for the construction of a new Gundih–Gambringan–Bojonegoro–Surabaya railway line on 1 September 1897.[4]  To accommodate passengers from Gresik, a branch route to Gresik was built. In addition, a railway line from Babat to Merakurak was also built.[5]

The station as well as the Lamongan-Surabaya railway line began operation on 1 April 1900. On 15 October 1900, the Gundih-Kradenan section of the line was completed and the construction continued to Bojonegoro. The line was completed entirely on 1 February 1903.[6]

The name "Surabaya Pasarturi" was given since the Railway Department began to record stations in Indonesia in the 1950s. The station is named "Pasar Turi" because there is a market with the same name.
