Stasiun Cinde (CND)

Cinde Station (station code: CND), classified as a Class II station, is a prominent elevated rapid transit facility situated at an elevation of +14 meters in the heart of Palembang, South Sumatra. As an integral component of the LRT Palembang network—Indonesia’s pioneering light rail transit system built for the 2018 Asian Games—the station occupies a historically significant location near the former site of the iconic Pasar Cinde, a colonial-era heritage market designed by the renowned Dutch architect Thomas Karsten. Although the original modernist market building was demolished for redevelopment, the modern station structure preserves the cultural gravity of the district, seamlessly bridging Palembang's rich trading history with contemporary urban transit.

The station features a modern elevated platform yard configuration optimized for high-capacity commuter flow, utilizing side platforms that flank the dual tracks of the Palembang LRT line. Cinde Station plays a vital role in the national and regional transit network by providing crucial connectivity through the city's commercial and administrative core, linking residents and visitors directly to the Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II International Airport and the Jakabaring Sport City complex. By facilitating efficient, traffic-free mobility across the urban center, the station underpins Palembang’s modern public transportation framework while honoring the enduring economic legacy of the historic Cinde neighborhood.
