Kampung Melayu is a TransJakarta bus rapid transit station located below the K.H. Abdullah Syafei overpass, at the middle of the interchange between Abdullah Syafei, Oto Iskandar di Nata, and Jatinegara Barat/Timur streets in Kampung Melayu, Jatinegara, East Jakarta, Indonesia. This is the terminus and transit point between corridors 5, 7, and 11.
It stands on the former site of an open-air bus terminal for Kopaja, Metromini, and angkot/mikrolet routes. Since all those modes (except some angkot/mikrolet) ceased operating and converted into TransJakarta routes, the terminal currently serves TransJakarta services and remaining mikrolet routes.
History
The Kampung Melayu BRT station was built below the Abdullah Syafei overpass, which used to be the platform bay area of the original terminal (as seen on the remainings of signages placed on the south side of the overpass girder).[citation needed] It began operational on 27 January 2007, simultaneously with the opening of corridors 5 and 7. The original building was built with aluminium and steel structure, but it had an uneven steel slab floors.
On 23 December 2022, TransJakarta announced that the Kampung Melayu BRT station would be closed for revitalization on 7 January 2023.[1] It was carried out to enlarge the station's capacity. As the impact, the three main corridors have to be temporarily readjusted, namely corridor 5 shortened to Matraman Baru, corridor 7 shortened to Bidara Cina, and corridor 11 extended to Matraman 1 (later shortened to Matraman Baru). Apart from that, TransJakarta provides the 7ST (Kampung Melayu–Matraman 1, later Bidara Cina–Matraman Baru) temporary shuttle route for affected passengers.[1][2] On the first day of revitalization, there were numbers of passengers that didn't know about the revitalization.[3]
On 19 July 2023, Kampung Melayu BRT station was reopened to the public and all the three affected main corridors returned to terminate at this station. The result of the revitalization was praised by passengers.[4][5]
Building and layout
Kampung Melayu BRT station now consist of north, south, west, and east platforms, with 21 platform bays/gates. The east platform was newly-built during the revitalization. North platform is used for corridors 5 and 11, south platform for corridor 7, and west and east platforms for corridors 5C and 5D.[6]
The station's floor is now flat.[4] For the architectural design, the new building is dominated with glass walls to provide more natural lighting from the sunlight. It has a futuristic design, where the platform bays resemble squicles and the building is painted in beige and grey.
