The 1987 Bintaro train accident occurred in Pondok Betung urban village, Bintaro, South Jakarta, Indonesia on Monday 19 October 1987. Two passenger trains collided, causing 139 fatalities, making it the worst railway crash in Indonesia to date. A train departing from Rangkasbitung Station in West Java province (currently in Banten) collided with a train from Tanah Abang Station in Jakarta. The investigation indicated negligence from a station officer who gave a safe signal to the train from Rangkasbitung without confirmation from Kebayoran Station. The safe signal was given because the lines at Sudimara Station were crowded.
