History
The BRT station prior to its demolition in 2014 for the construction of the Jakarta MRT. The photo was taken in 2010.

The Transjakarta Corridor 1 began its soft operational launch on 15 January 2004, along with all of its stations, including Bundaran HI.[4] The commercial operation of corridor 1 was started on 1 February 2004, as well as Bundaran HI and all bus stations on corridor 1.

The Bundaran HI BRT Station was demolished for the construction of the Jakarta MRT on 6 January 2014.[5] However, since 24 March 2019, the BRT Station was reopened and integrated with the Bundaran HI MRT Station which is located underneath this bus stop.[6]

The revitalization progress of the BRT Station on 30 July 2022

On 15 April 2022, the Bundaran HI BRT Station was closed again for revitalization along with 10 other BRT Stations to be revitalized including the Dukuh Atas 1, Tosari, Juanda, Cikoko Stasiun Cawang, Sarinah, Kebon Pala, Kwitang, Balai Kota, Gelora Bung Karno (GBK), and Stasiun Jatinegara 2 BRT Stations. As an alternative, a shuttle bus route has been prepared to support waiters during the BRT Station revitalization process. The route consists of the National Monument (Monas)-Semanggi (1ST) route which operates in corridor 1 (until 11 September 2022[7]), and the Pecenongan-Pintu Air Juanda (2PJ) route in corridor 2.[8][9]

Despite the construction has not yet been fully completed, the Bundaran HI BRT Station has started carrying out customer trials on 6 October 2022. It only serves corridor routes from 05.00–21.00. During the trial period, the 2nd floor area of this BRT Station and several BRT Station facilities (including direct access from the MRT Station) could not be utilized by customers.[10][11] After the Community Activities Restrictions Enforcement (PPKM) was lifted by the Government on 30 December 2022, Bundaran HI bus station began to fully operational 24 hours and the 2nd floor of the bus stop including toilets, prayer rooms, and skydeck. Both sides of the bus station could be accessed freely by Transjakarta customers who access the Bundaran HI bus station.

On 4 March 2023, Bundaran HI bus station began to service as the terminus of corridor 3 temporarily, due to the Jakarta MRT phase 2 project.[1][2][3]

Builiding and layout
The station platform on the first floor
The commercial area on the second floor

The new Bundaran HI BRT Station building have two floors, using the same design as the Tosari BRT Station, which resembles a cruise ship. The building has passenger, commercial and waiting areas and a viewing deck overlooking the Selamat Datang Monument.[12] The revitalized bus station is also equipped with escalators and elevators to access the second floor.[13] Ahead of the trial run, several parties criticized the design of the BRT Station as it obstructed the view of the Selamat Datang Monument.[10][12]

Incidents

The Bundaran HI BRT station was burned by demonstrators on 8 October 2020 during the Job Creation Law Demonstration along with 8 other BRT Stations affected. Losses due to this incident are estimated at up to 45 billion rupiah. The incident was very unfortunate considering that this BRT Station is an iconic BRT Station and is one of the destinations for many commuters heading to the office/mall complex.[14]
