Bus rapid transit route in Indonesia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Transjakarta Corridor 1 is the Transjakarta bus rapid transit route in Jakarta, Indonesia.[1] The route operates between Blok M Terminal and Jakarta Kota railway station. It is the first route of the Transjakarta BRT system. The roads that are traversed by Corridor 1 are along Jalan Sultan Hasanuddin, Trunojoyo, Sisingamangaraja, Sudirman, MH Thamrin, Medan Merdeka Barat, Gajah Mada / Hayam Wuruk,[2][3] Pintu Besar Utara, Kali Besar Barat, Kunir, and Lada Dalam. Key integration points include Dukuh Atas TOD that is currently an integration point for four transport modes, Jakarta Kota station which serves KRL Commuterline, and Harmoni station that is one of the main hubs in the BRT system. From Blok M to Bundaran HI ASTRA stations, this corridor is in parallel with North–South Line of the Jakarta MRT, thus many of the BRT stations are integrated directly with the MRT stations. Currently, all bus stations are served by buses 24 hours a day.[4]

The idea of implementing the bus rapid transit system in Jakarta was emerged in 2001 by the Governor of Jakarta at the time, Sutiyoso, which was supported by the Institute for Transportation & Development Policy (ITDP), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and other parties.[5]
The route passed by Corridor 1 is the route from Blok M Bus Terminal to Jakarta Kota railway station which passes Jalan Jenderal Sudirman and Jalan M.H. Thamrin as the main street in the central area of the Indonesian economy and government, namely the Golden Triangle of Jakarta. The choice of the Blok M–Kota route for Corridor 1 was a form of outsmarting traffic congestion when Jakarta was unable to build a subway system, which had actually been planned by B.J. Habibie in 1985 and had wanted to be pioneered again by Sutiyoso in 1998.[6]
The construction of Corridor 1 began around mid-2003, marked by the installation of a "KHUSUS BUSWAY (BUS LANE)" sign on pedestrian bridges and red road markings to mark the separated Transjakarta bus lane.[7] The construction of new bus stops and special lanes began by late 2003, towards 2004 along with the system's socialization.[8] The construction of bus stops and separated lane for Corridor 1 received many complaints from the public, due to the bus lane construction disturbs the heavy traffic on Jalan Sudirman and Thamrin during peak hours.[9]
On 15 January 2004, when Jakarta was having a downpour, Transjakarta Corridor 1 was inaugurated by Governor Sutiyoso at the Gelora Bung Karno BRT station (now Senayan Bank DKI).[10]
With the availability of the Transjakarta Busway as a fast, safe and comfortable, on time, and also affordable public transportation, it is hoped that this will be an alternative choice for all parties, especially for those who is using personal cars.
The inauguration of Corridor 1 received a lot of enthusiasm from the people of Jakarta, as evidenced by situation of the Kota and Gelora Bung Karno (now Senayan Bank DKI) BRT stations and bus fleets which was overcrowded by Transjakarta passengers. Despite receiving high enthusiasm, the operation of Corridor 1 was criticized by transportation expert Darmaningtyas six days earlier.[10]
That there is no integral concept regarding the Busway in Jakarta. So the concept of the Busway was raised, but not accompanied by an integral concept, including the provision of feeder services, including the (provision of facilities) for pedestrians, and special lanes for non-motorized vehicles (e.g. bicycles).
