Location

Kota is a Transjakarta bus rapid transit station located at the Old City of Batavia (Kota Tua Jakarta) in Pinangsia, Taman Sari, West Jakarta, Jakarta, Indonesia. The station, which is the terminus of Corridor 1, serves as an interchange with Corridor 12. The station is named after Kota Tua Jakarta and the adjacent Jakarta Kota railway station.

History

Kota BRT station was opened alongside the soft launch of Corridor 1 on January 15, 2004, with full commercial operations beginning on February 1.[1] Its original building was located west of the railway station and was accessible via a pedestrian tunnel opened in 2008; it included commercial areas and a lift for priority passengers.[2]

Kota BRT station became the first station in the Transjakarta network to fully implement a new ticketing system with electronic cards, starting on May 5, 2014.[3]

On July 22, 2022 Kota BRT station was relocated north of Jakarta Kota Station because the original location no longer served passengers and was being demolished.[4] This rearrangement was carried out within the framework of the Kota Tua revitalisation and as an effort to integrate the BRT station with the Kota MRT station, which is under construction. The old pedestrian tunnel is currently being modified to serve as the MRT station entrance, according to the design plan.[5][6]
