History
Serpong was originally a rubber plantation, but as the growth of Jakarta's suburbs have urbanised the area, it has now been developed as an elite area. Dozens of entertainment venues, malls, and crowded centers have sprung up in Serpong. BSD City is located within this district.[9]
Serpong is mainly served by land-based transportation, with buses, taxibus and taxis. The public transportation mainly goes to Jakarta since many residents from Serpong commute to Jakarta on daily basis. The district is served by KRL Commuterline through Rawa Buntu railway station and Serpong railway station. Serpong is serviced by these toll roads:
