Yogyakarta and Magelang is one of the cities in Indonesia, which has huge potential economic development. The tourism sector that is highly favored in the city should be comparable with that provided transportation services as access to reach the desired tourism destination. Yogyakarta-Magelang railway along approximately 45 km is one of the oldest rail line. Because of the potential and the trips number from and two both cities, the reopening of the railway line and railway station is needed. The number of railway station building across Yogyakarta – Magelang are 18 units. 10 units building are as the station, while 8 units as train stop/shelter. In general, that building station and train stop has been switching their function. Some are used by citizens, businesses, as well as police station, Koramil office, public transport station, bus station, and also leased to PDAM. But on the other hand, there is a station building that is not there anymore, but razed to the ground. So that the rebuilding of the railway station should be based on the number of passenger demand which we know from the survey and could also be from the former station locations.
