Transjakarta Corridor 2 is a bus rapid transit corridor in Jakarta, Indonesia, operated by Transjakarta. It connects the Pulo Gadung Bus Terminal in East Jakarta to the Monumen Nasional BRT station in Central Jakarta.

The route is spiral-shaped: Buses go through Perintis Kemerdekaan and Letjen Suprapto Streets and serves 14 stations in both directions. From Senen Toyota Rangga station, westbound buses travel through Imam Sapi'i, Kwini II, Abdul Rahman Saleh, Pejambon, Medan Merdeka Timur, Perwira, Katedral, Ir. H. Djuanda, Veteran III, and Medan Merdeka Utara Streets, stopping at 7 stations unidirectionally before terminating at Monumen Nasional station. Eastbound buses travel through Medan Merdeka Barat, Medan Merdeka Selatan, and Kwitang Raya Streets, stopping at 3 stations unidirectionally before closing the loop at Senen Toyota Rangga station and continuing eastwards towards Pulo Gadung. It is one of the two main BRT corridors that are spiral-shaped, the other being Corridor 12.

This corridor is integrated with the Pasar Senen railway station, which serves both the KRL Commuterline and intercity train services at Senen Toyota Rangga BRT station, and also with Juanda railway station, serving KRL Commuterline, at Juanda BRT station.

On March 4, 2023, Corridor 2 temporarily relocated its terminus from Harmoni to the Monumen Nasional BRT station, due to the construction of the Jakarta MRT (see #Temporary readjustment).[1][2][3][4]

History

Early operational

Corridor 2 was inaugurated on January 15, 2006, alongside Corridor 3. The inauguration coincided with the inauguration of Corridor 1 two years earlier.[5][6] The inauguration received high enthusiasm from the public.[7] At the same time, Transjakarta promised that 71 new buses would serve Corridors 2 and 3 in April 2006, three months after the first day of operation.[8]

Route extension

On May 19, 2014, the route was extended by 7.61 kilometers from Pulogadung 1 (now Pulo Gadung) to Ujung Menteng in Bekasi. It was Transjakarta's first BRT corridor to cross the border of the Special Capital Region of Jakarta. The new stations were Raya Bekasi KIP, Raya Bekasi Tipar Cakung, Cakung United Tractors, Raya Bekasi Pasar Cakung, Raya Bekasi Cakung Cilincing, Raya Bekasi Pulo Gebang, and Raya Bekasi Ujung Menteng.[9][10] At the time of opening, four stations in Kota Harapan Indah — 2 stations in the estate's entrance and 2 stations near Family Market — were still under construction. They were completed by the end of May 2014.[11]

The extension initially operated as a BRT service coded 2E. It was later redesignated 2B and converted into an integrated non-BRT feeder route, which, in addition to the existing BRT stations, also served several pedestrian-level stops on the sidewalk.[12] However, after the COVID-19 pandemic until 2026, the route operated as a non-BRT feeder service with no BRT connections, using low-floor Metrotrans buses that only served pedestrian-level bus stops. Most BRT stations were demolished due to the Kelapa Gading–Pulo Gebang highway construction project, but stations that were rebuilt were not used and suffered from vandalism.[13][14]

On January 19, 2026, Transjakarta amended the route to now reutilise BRT stations that had long been abandoned. At the same day, route 2B operates as an integrated non-BRT feeder route, stopping at BRT stations that have not been vandalised and are in good condition and pedestrian bus stops, while some other vandalised, badly damaged stations are being repaired.[15]

Temporary readjustment

Harmoni BRT station was formerly the terminus of Corridor 2. As the busiest station in the network, it also served Corridors 1, 3, and 8. However, due to the construction of Phase 2A of the Jakarta MRT, the Harmoni station was relocated to a temporary structure from March 4, 2023,[3] and will remain so until the completion of the MRT works, either in 2027 or 2029. The original permanent building was demolished to make way for the new Harmoni MRT station. The temporary structure doesn't have enough capacity to accommodate high passenger volumes. As a result, Transjakarta decided that it would only serve Corridor 1 and temporarily moved Corridor 2's terminus to the Monumen Nasional BRT station, located near the National Monument.[1][2][4]

List of BRT stations

Main BRT corridor

  • Due to the construction of Phase 2A of the Jakarta MRT, Corridor 2 currently does not serve Harmoni BRT station and terminates at the Monumen Nasional BRT station starting from March 4, 2023. This arrangement will remain in place until the completion of the MRT construction, expected in either 2027 or 2029.
  • All stations are served by buses 24 hours a day.[16]

Route 2B: Corridor 2 extension

  • The following BRT stations were built and opened in 2014 to serve Bekasi Raya Rd and Harapan Indah neighbourhood.[9][11] Services were initially operated as Corridor 2E until the COVID-19 pandemic, when it was deactivated and replaced by service which used low-floor Metrotrans buses from September 19, 2023 until January 19, 2026.[13][15] Since then, several stations have been reactivated and service has switched to using high-floor buses to serve these stations. However, service is still a non-BRT service as many stations have not been reactivated and the service continues to stop at bus stops along the road.[15]
  • Stations indicated by a ← sign have a one-way service towards Pulo Gadung only. Stations indicated by a → sign have a one-way service towards Harapan Indah only.

Incidents

Two BRT stations on Corridor 2 — Senen (the temporary structure) and Harmoni — were set on fire by protesters during the Omnibus Law protest on October 8, 2020.[17] The new Senen station, along with Kwitang, Gambir (then-named Gambir 1), and several other stations, were also damaged by protesters. As a result, Transjakarta estimated the total losses from the destruction of all 18 affected BRT stations at up to 45 billion rupiah.[18]
