Before KCJ extended the Green Line to Rangkasbitung, this station only served crossing and overtaking between trains for some time. In order to improve commuter rail services in the Lebak Regency area, PT KAI Commuter Jabodetabek then extended the KRL Commuterline route to Rangkasbitung Station. The old Citeras Station underwent a series of renovations to support the operation of the KRL Commuterline.[3] Eventually, the KRL can run to Rangkasbitung starting 1 April 2017.[4]
