Transjakarta (stylised as transjakarta , often erroneously called Busway , sometimes shortened as TJ and branded as TiJe ) or Jakarta BRT is a bus rapid transit (BRT) system in Jakarta , Indonesia . The first BRT system in Southeast Asia, it commenced operations on 15 January 2004 to provide a fast public transport system to help reduce rush hour traffic. The system is considered as the first revolutionary public transit mode in the capital city of Indonesia. The buses run in dedicated lanes ( busways ), and ticket prices are subsidised by the regional government. Transjakarta has the world's longest BRT system (251.2 km in length), which operates about 4,300 buses. Transjakarta aims to have 50 percent of its fleet be electric buses by 2027. By 2030, the aim is for the entire Transjakarta ecosystem to use electric buses. As of November 2023, it serves an average of 1.134 million passengers daily.
54-512: Pasar Senen (formerly named Senen only) is a TransJakarta bus rapid transit station located at the western end of Letjen Suprapto street in Senen , Jakarta , Indonesia , which serves corridors 2 and 14 . It is located southwest of the Pasar Senen railway station . The station was opened on 15 January 2006, along with the operational of corridor 2. In early 2020, the original building
108-472: A Transjakarta shelter include fans, top-up vending machines (although some older and smaller shelters lack this), and wayfinding boards showing which bus stops at which gate. All stations are also equipped with passenger information system (PIS) displays for each platform direction showing estimated time of arrival and number of upcoming and arriving buses, although its accuracy is questionable as it does not account traffic jams. Some shelters have two stories, with
162-508: A Transjakarta ticket since its opening has been a flat rate of Rp 2.000,- at concessional times (05.00 a.m. to 07.00 a.m.) and Rp 3.500,- (about 24 US cents) each trip at all other times. The fare applies to all BRT and Non-BRT services, except Royaltrans, Mikrotrans, and city travel (Bus Wisata) services. Royaltrans costs Rp20.000,- each trip (or Rp35.000,- for some routes), while Mikrotrans and Bus Wisata are free to ride, although Mikrotrans still requires its passengers to tap in and out. One trip
216-481: A driver's door on the front-left side of the bus for big buses and a pair of hydraulic folding doors for medium buses. Transjakarta buses have electronic boards and speakers that announce the name of shelters in Indonesian and English, bi-directional radio transceivers for communication between drivers and control centers, at least four mandatory CCTV cameras per bus, and automatic air freshener dispensers to keep
270-739: A partition segregates the driver from passengers to enable the former to focus more intently on operating the vehicle. The capacity of each bus varies from 85, 100 to 120 passengers. Single Mercedes-Benz and Hino buses can carry about 85 passengers. Scania , Mercedes-Benz and Volvo Maxi buses can carry 100 passengers, and 120 can be carried by a standard articulated bus. Transjakarta operates some Chinese-made Zhongtong and Swedish-made Scania articulated buses on long corridors and those passing mostly straight roads in mix with non-articulated buses. Articulated buses may also be used for some high-demand cross-corridor BRT routes. Passengers can only board Transjakarta's BRT buses from designated shelters due to
324-550: A record in 2018 when it carried 730,000 passengers per day, a significant jump from 331,000 per day in 2015. About 189.8 million passengers used Transjakarta in 2018 and targeted to serve one million passengers daily. In November 2020, Transjakarta won the 2021 Sustainable Transport Award . As of September 2019, Transjakarta is currently testing electric buses , with Bundaran Senayan – Monas as its first route. Transjakarta has undertaken an ambitious plan to expand its electric bus (e-bus) fleet to 10,000 units over
378-682: A report from the Indonesian Consumers Protection Foundation in 2011, the most common complaint from passengers about the service offered by Transjakarta was the long wait times for buses at some of the main shelters. This issue rearises during revitalisation project and closure of Harmoni in 2022, with customers complaining that Monumen Nasional as a transit point has not enough doors to serve many routes and shelters double-dutying as an alternative to revitalised ones are too small. The large Harmoni Central Busway (HCB) shelter on Jalan Gadjah Mada, Central Jakarta,
432-506: A road crossing. Similarly, the Blok M stop provides stair access to the nearby Blok M Mall. Accessing the shelter requires passengers to tap an electronic payment card (known as tap in), which they have to do again to exit the arrival shelter (known as tap out). Older Transjakarta shelters are primarily constructed using aluminium, steel, glass, and concrete materials. The walls are made of aluminium and glass covers, with tread plates constructing

In April and May 2014, the Transjakarta management started compulsory use of e-tickets at several terminus in the system, based on news that the BCA Flazz Card could also be used in Jabodetabek Commuter Train . In mid-October 2014, 56% passengers have used e-tickets. Now, all Transjakarta corridors and shelters applied
540-457: A transit point and as such they only serve Corridor 1. This results in notable changes to routes previously stopping and terminating at Harmoni, with affected corridors and routes, notably Corridor 2, 3, and 8 being rerouted and Monumen Nasional being the new temporary transit point. Some cross-corridor routes deemed no longer needed, such as 8A and 12M, were also scrapped or became limitedly operational. In December 2023, Transjakarta announced that

Corridors 4, 5 and 6 used Grey Daewoo and Hyundai CNG buses, with Komodo and Huanghai articulated buses dedicated for Corridor 5. Grey Hino CNG buses are used for Corridors 7 and 8. Corridors 9 and 10 used Red coloured Hyundai and Komodo articulated buses, whilst Corridor 11 uses red Inobus articulated buses. Corridor 12 used to use red coloured Ankai and Inobus buses as well. Due to various coach builders being involved and design tweaks applied over time,

Other reasons cited was to rename some shelters to match name of areas surrounding them or integrated railway stations, such as those in Kuningan and Cawang with their integrated LRT Jabodebek stations. In 2024, the second naming right was afforded to municipally-owned Bank DKI for Gelora Bung Karno shelter, being rebranded as "Senayan BANK DKI". The cost of
702-859: Is also shared with Corridor 13's branches, consisting of 13B and L13E, alongside Route 6V. Other than the 14 main BRT corridors, Transjakarta operates 17 direct cross-corridor BRT routes, 57 feeder (Non-BRT) routes split into two categories: partially integrated (stops at a mix of BRT shelters and pedestrian bus stops) and fully disintegrated (stops at just pedestrian bus stops with no BRT integration), alongside 11 suburban routes to satellite cities, 14 routes serving low-cost apartments, 96 micro bus routes branded as Mikrotrans, 4 Bus Wisata (city travel) routes, and 11 Royaltrans routes. Non-BRT and suburban routes fully disintegrated from BRT system usually run Metrotrans-branded buses, while those partially integrated into BRT carries Minitrans branding for smaller buses or generic Transjakarta branding for standard BRT buses. Each bus
756-628: Is built over the Ciliwung River. It is a transit point between Corridors 1, 2, 3, 5C, 5H, 7F, 8, 8A, 9B and 10H. This 500-person shelter has 18 bus bays. Although many trees had to be chopped down during its construction, an old banyan tree was an exception because it was considered rich in historical value. However, in October 2006 this tree was vandalised by people from the Pemuda Persatuan Islam religious group. Their motive
810-403: Is considered a period from one tap-in to one tap-out. Passengers who wish to change direction or transit to other corridors do not need to pay again, provided they do not exit the paid area and complete the whole journey in one trip. Based on the definition of "one trip", this rule applies with some terms: Up to 2015, passengers could purchase a single-journey paper ticket at the ticket booth in
864-414: Is constructed with passenger safety in mind. For example, the body frame is constructed using Galvanyl (Zn–Fe Alloy), a strong and rust-resistant metal. There are also eight or ten glass-shattering hammers mounted on some of the window frames, and three emergency doors for fast evacuation during an emergency. There are also two fire extinguishers at the front and back of the buses. A typical Transjakarta bus
918-516: Is done at the BRT shelter, while the other tap is done on the bus, unless both boarding and alighting are done each at a BRT shelter. Passengers can easily transfer between BRT and integrated Non-BRT routes at a BRT shelter without tapping again. The most common criticism is the variance of fare-deducting mechanism due to some TOB machines deducting fare at tap in while others and all BRT shelters deduct fare at tap out, sometimes causing double-deducting error, which although has been mostly mitigated and now
972-438: Is painted with blue and white livery with the Transjakarta logo. Transjakarta buses was previously mandated to use compressed natural gas (CNG) and prohibited from using diesel fuel, but regulations have since been revised to permit diesel-powered buses once again due to efficiency issues and a shortage of CNG refueling stations. To facilitate passenger ingress and egress , buses are outfitted with two doors on either side, while

On 13 October 2021, KAI Commuter starts trialling its Multi Trip Card as a payment card for MRT Jakarta, Transjakarta and LRT Jakarta, as part of efforts integrating Jakarta's public transportation ticketing. However, the Multi Trip Card only works at a BRT shelter and cannot be used with TOB machines on Non-BRT buses. In 2017, Transjakarta started allowing its buses to be tracked in Trafi app. Passengers could see
1134-549: The Indonesian National Armed Forces and the Police . In the early days of feeder (Non-BRT) routes, passengers could pay cash to the bus conductor or use a prepaid card issued by a specific bank. This varied depending on the route (ex: Route 6H mainly accepted BCA Flazz cards only, Route 3E mainly accepted BNI Tapcash cards only), and was criticised for being highly unreliable.

Starting on 24 August 2015 students who have the Jakarta Smart Card ( Kartu Jakarta Pintar , KJP) can use it as an e-ticket for a free bus ride. The TJ Card, introduced in January 2018, provides free fares for their holders and is available for seniors above 60, residents of the Thousand Islands Regency , disabled persons, low-income households, teachers, mosquito controllers and mosque caretakers in addition to members of
1242-865: The BRT system. Although free of charge, Mikrotrans still requires its passengers to tap in when boarding and tap out when alighting, but Bus Wisata does not. In order to promote gender equality, Transjakarta is aiming to recruit more female drivers, targeting 30% of the total. As of 21 April 2016, Transjakarta introduced female-only buses for Corridor 1, which are operated by female drivers and onboard officers and painted pink to differentiate them from regular buses. Some routes also offer disabled-friendly buses, with plans to acquire an additional 300 such buses by 2017 to serve 15-20 routes.

Newer shelters may also feature platform screen doors to ensure passenger safety, although its opening and closing aren't synced to the bus doors but rather whether it detects the bus in front of it. Some of the elevated bridge ramps connecting the shelters have gentle slopes to accommodate disabled passengers, although some require passengers to walk a relatively long way up
1566-529: The bus rapid transit was considered the most likely to be realized in short time because it doesn't require foreign investments. The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) was an important party accompanying the BRT planning process. The initial concept was created by PT Pamintori Cipta, a transportation consultant who has frequently worked with the Jakarta Office of Transportation ( Dinas Perhubungan Provinsi DKI Jakarta ). Apart from

Initially, shelters are open from 05:00 am to 10:00 pm although opening hours can be extended if there are passengers still waiting at closing time. Since midnight bus services are launched, a number of shelters start to operate 24 hours a day. Currently all the shelters (except Corridor 13's Ciledug, which still closes at 10:00 pm) serves round-the-clock. Shelters often become extremely overcrowded because of long and sometimes unpredictable intervals between buses. According to
1674-441: The company was renaming many of its BRT shelters. The changes were revealed and took place in January 2024, affecting every main corridor and 121 shelters. The reason cited by the company was due to neutralise shelter names from commercial and copyrighted names owned by third parties and to allow the commercialisation of shelter names through naming rights procedure, similar to that of MRT Jakarta and its stations.

At present, Transjakarta has 13 primary routes and ten cross-corridor routes . In addition, there are about 200 "feeder" routes that serve beyond the exclusive busway corridors to serve satellite cities in Greater Jakarta . The number of Transjakarta buses has also increased dramatically, from 605 buses in 2015 to 4,300 in 2020. The fare has remained Rp 3,500 (27 US cents) per passenger since operations began.

Based on the routes they serve, there are three types of Transjakarta shelters. All shelters serve at least one BRT corridor, and may also serve some cross-corridor BRT routes and partially-integrated Non-BRT routes. Other than BRT shelters, Non-BRT routes also stop at regular pedestrian bus stops. All routes stopping at any pedestrian bus stops, be it partially-integrated Non-BRT, fully-disintegrated Non-BRT, Mikrotrans, and Bus Wisata buses only stop at designated bus stops along
