TransJakarta Corridor 8 is the TransJakarta bus rapid transit corridor that serves from Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta to the Pasar Baru BRT station in Central Jakarta. It traverses along Pasar Jumat, Ciputat Raya, TB Simatupang, Metro Pondok Indah, Arteri Pondok Indah (Sultan Iskandar Muda), Teuku Nyak Arif, Letjen Supeno, Panjang, Daan Mogot, Letjen S. Parman, Tomang Raya, Balikpapan, Suryopranoto, Ir. Hj. Djuanda, and Pos streets, and terminates at Pasar Baru. Then continues via Gedung Kesenian, Lapangan Banteng Utama, and Katedral streets towards Lebak Bulus. This corridor is integrated with KRL Commuterline at Kebayoran railway station which serves the Rangkasbitung Line via the Pasar Kebayoran Lama BRT station, Tangerang Line at Pesing railway station via Indosiar BRT station, and Bogor Line at Juanda railway station via Juanda BRT station. This corridor is also integrated with the Jakarta MRT at Lebak Bulus Grab station via Lebak Bulus BRT station.
Corridor 8 have a length of 25.33 kilometres (15.74 mi), making it the second longest TransJakarta corridor after corridor 9 with 28.8 kilometres (17.9 mi) length (until 3 March 2023, from Lebak Bulus to Harmoni. Prior to temporary extension to Pasar Baru).
This corridor originally terminates at Harmoni BRT station, one of the main interchange stations on the TransJakarta BRT system. Due to the construction of the Jakarta MRT phase 2A, corridor 8 temporarily terminates at Pasar Baru as of 3 March 2023.[1]
History
Inauguration
Corridor 8 was inaugurated on 21 February 2009, by the Governor of Jakarta at the time, Fauzi Bowo.[2][3][4] It originally serves the route from Lebak Bulus to the Harmoni Central BRT station until it was temporarily readjusted in 2023.
Intermodal integration
In March 2022, the construction of a pedestrian skywalk in Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta was started in order to create a transit point that connects corridor 8 at the Pasar Kebayoran Lama BRT station with corridor 13 at Velbak BRT station and the Kebayoran railway station which serves the Rangkasbitung Line of the KRL Commuterline.[5][6][7] To support the skywalk construction, Pasar Kebayoran Lama BRT station was closed on 5 September 2022 for revitalization and TransJakarta users were diverted to use Kebayoran Lama Bungur and Simprug stations during the closure.[8] The Kebayoran Lama skywalk underwent a public trial on 21–24 January 2023,[9] and inaugurated by the Acting Governor of Jakarta, Heru Budi Hartono on 27 January 2023,[10][11] even though the revitalization of Pasar Kebayoran Lama BRT station was not finished yet.[12] Pasar Kebayoran Lama station was reopened on 6 February 2023.[13]
Temporary readjusment
Starting on 4 March 2023, as the impact of the construction of Jakarta MRT North–South Line extension to Kota Tua Jakarta, TransJakarta temporarily extends corridor 8 to the Pasar Baru BRT station, due to its terminus, Harmoni Central BRT station moved its operational into a temporary building that can only serves corridor 1 passengers. At the same time, corridor 8A (Grogol 2–Juanda via Tomang) merged with the main corridor, so the bus of the main corridor do not stop at the Grogol 1 and Sumber Waras BRT stations.[1][14][15]
