Transjakarta Corridor 8 is a bus rapid transit corridor in Jakarta, Indonesia, operated by Transjakarta. It serves the route from Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta to the Pasar Baru BRT station in Central Jakarta. The corridor 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 Kebayoran BRT station, Tangerang Line at Pesing railway station via Damai 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 25.33km (15.74miles), making it the second longest Transjakarta corridor after Corridor 9 with 28.8km (17.9miles) 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] There are two distinct versions of this corridor: the main route, "Lebak Bulus–Pasar Baru via Tomang" which goes through Tarakan, Tomang Raya, Tanjung Duren, and Grogol Reformasi stations and runs at a headway of 5-10 minutes, and the alternative "Lebak Bulus–Pasar Baru via Cideng" which interlines with Corridor 3 from Petojo to Damai stations (stopping at Grogol and Roxy stations) and runs at a headway of up to 50 minutes off-peak or 5-10 minutes at peak.

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 Harmoni 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 Kebayoran 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, Kebayoran BRT station was closed on 5 September 2022 for revitalization and Transjakarta users were diverted to use 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 Kebayoran BRT station was not finished yet.[12] Kebayoran 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 being moved to a temporary building that can only serves Corridor 1 passengers and Corridor 3 terminating at Monumen Nasional, ceasing service of Pecenongan–Pasar Baru segment that the Corridor 8 took over through extension to Pasar Baru station. At the same time, Route 8A (Grogol Reformasi–Juanda via Tomang) merged with the main corridor, so the bus of the main corridor do not stop at the Grogol and Roxy BRT stations.[14] [15] This main route of Corridor 8 is officially listed as "Lebak Bulus–Pasar Baru via Tomang" and operates all day at a headway of 5-10 minutes. To respond to passenger complaints in regards to traffic jam in Tomang during rush hour, Transjakarta also operates an alternative "Lebak Bulus–Pasar Baru via Cideng" route which mimics the original Corridor 8 by interlining with Corridor 3 from Petojo to Damai instead of going through Tomang, thus stopping at Grogol and Roxy, and runs at a headway of up to 50 minutes off-peak or 5-10 minutes at peak. Route 8A still currently runs as a shortened main Corridor 8 (via Tomang) during Car Free Day (CFD) in Petojo area on Sunday mornings.
