PT Transjakarta has reopened the Rawamangun Bus Stop in East Jakarta after previously being closed due to the construction project of the LRT Jakarta Phase 1B Velodrome-Manggarai.

"The Rawamangun bus stop will start active again serving customers on Wednesday, February 19. Transjakarta ensures that community mobility can be fulfilled," said Head of the Public Relations Department and CSR Transjakarta Ayu Wardhani in a statement, Tuesday, February 18.

During its closure, Transjakarta had provided temporary stops for Rawamangun 1 and Rawamangun 2 to increase and decrease customers.

After reopening, currently customers can do increased and decrease at the Rawamangun Bus Stop which serves Corridor 4 (Pulo Gadung - Galunggung) and route 4D (Pulo Gadung - Kuningan).

"Customers from the Galunggung (4-choridor) direction who want to go to corridor 10 (Tanjung Priok - PGC) can make a move or transit at the Rawamangun Bus Stop, no longer need to transit at the Kayu Jati Bus Stop," said Ayu.

The service adjustment with the temporary bus stop due to the closure of the Rawamangun bus stop has been in effect since Wednesday, December 18, 2024. Transjakarta also provides a temporary pedestrian bridge (JPO) to the bus stop.

"Providing temporary stops for Pramuka 1 and Pramuka 2 intersections, then providing Rawamangun 1 and Rawamangun 2 temporary stops on the left and right of Pramuka Street," said Ayu, some time ago.

Then, a temporary JPO is also provided to connect the Pramuka 2 Intersection Bus Stop ( Galunggung direction) with the Scout Youth Bus Stop.

From this adjustment, Ayu emphasized that the 4D route (Pulo Gadung - Kuningan), and the night service (AMARI) for the M4 route (Pulo Gadung - Galunggung) which usually crosses corridor 4 (Pulo Gadung - Galunggung) temporarily do not serve the Rawamangun Bus Stop and Pramuka Intersection Stop.
