Bundaran HI is a TransJakarta
The Bundaran HI BRT Station was demolished for the construction of the Jakarta MRT on January 6, 2014. However, since March 24 2019, the BRT Station was reopened and integrated with the Bundaran HI MRT Station which is located underneath this bus stop.
On April 15, 2022, the Bundaran HI BRT Station was closed again for the rebuilding of the BRT Station 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), and the Pecenongan-Pintu Air Juanda (2PJ) route in corridor 2.
Despite the construction has not yet been fully completed, the Bundaran HI BRT Station has started carrying out customer trials on October 6, 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.
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. Ahead of the trial run, several parties criticized the design of the BRT Station as it obstructed the view of the Selamat Datang Monument.
