Senayan Bank Jakarta (Transjakarta)


Senayan is a Transjakarta bus rapid transit station located in Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Jakarta, Indonesia. The station, which primarily serves in corridor 1, is located adjacent with the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex at north and the Sudirman Central Business District to the south.

History

The then-named Gelora Bung Karno BRT station was inaugurated along with the soft operational launch of Transjakarta Corridor 1 on 15 January 2004. Associated Press recorded on their covarge archive that this station was one of the most busiest and crowded station on the first day of operational, because the inauguration of corridor 1 was held at this station. GBK, along with all stations at corridor 1—and the BRT corridor itself—began its commercial operational on 1 February 2004.
The station originally had a small building with two platform bays, which was enlarged in late July 2018 to accommodate spectators of the upcoming 2018 Asian Games in the following month, using materials from former Masjid Agung BRT station. Platform bays were increased to 6, with the building being extended to the southwest. The original extension part uniquely retained a tree, by creating an empty narrow space for the tree's growth.
In late 2018, two pedestrian bridges to access Gelora Bung Karno and Bundaran Senayan stations were temporarily closed for revitalization, being temporarily replaced by a pelican crossing. The revitalization of both bridge access to GBK and Bundaran Senayan were inaugurated on 28 February 2019 with a new artistic design.
On 15 April 2022, the revitalization of the Gelora Bung Karno BRT station began with 10 other stations, including Dukuh Atas 1, Tosari, Juanda, Cikoko Stasiun Cawang, Sarinah, Kebon Pala, Kwitang, Balai Kota, Bundaran HI, and Stasiun Jatinegara 2 stations. As an alternative, a shuttle bus route from the National Monument to the Semanggi Interchange was prepared to accommodate passengers during the revitalization process, which operates in corridor 1 until 11 September 2022.
The Gelora Bung Karno BRT station was reopened on 17 August 2022, coinciding with the 77th Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia. The building was reextended again, which is slightly longer than the first one.

Naming rights

Following the success of granting the naming right of Bundaran HI BRT station to Astra International in 2023, the municipal government-owned Bank DKI officially bought the naming right of the Gelora Bung Karno BRT station, which was first announced in June 2024. Thus, it was later revealed that Gelora Bung Karno would be renamed into Senayan, a neutralized name before juxtaposing the brand name Bank DKI. The station, according to Transjakarta's CEO Welfizon Yuza, is one of the busiest and strategic BRT stations of the BRT system, as it served about 10,000 people daily and located adjacent with the Sudirman Central Business District and the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex. On 10 July 2024, the Gelora Bung Karno BRT station was officially renamed as Senayan Bank DKI with a launching ceremony.
In accordance to the rebranding of Bank DKI into Bank Jakarta on 22 June 2025, Senayan Bank DKI BRT station was renamed into Senayan Bank Jakarta on 8 September 2025, after a week of reparations following a burning incident during a series of protests on 29 August.

Building and layout

Senayan Bank Jakarta BRT station has received two expansions, first in 2018 for the Asian Games and the second in 2022. The current building features two acacia trees within, which are retained and covered by transparent mica slab. The original tree, which was retained in the first expansion, was chopped down during the second work. The platform bays were increased to 12, and now includes toilets and a prayer room. The recent 2022 design was designed by Pandega Desain Weharima, known for designing the Jakarta International Stadium, and has been nominated for IAI Jakarta Awards 2024 in Public Building, Transport Facilities subcategory by the Indonesian Architects Association.
