The ankers, the popular designation for car boycomplained platform gap in many KRL station which is too wide and not the same height as the KRL trolleys. Commuter KAI will provide a solution: add stairs and elevate the platform.

The addition of a bancik stair or unit was done at Kampung Bandan station some time ago, especially for platforms 5 and 6.
