Transjakarta Corridor 9
Transjakarta Corridor 9 is a bus rapid transit corridor in Jakarta, Indonesia, operated by Transjakarta. The corridor connects the Pinang Ranti bus terminal in East Jakarta with the Pluit BRT station in North Jakarta. The roads traversed by Corridor 9 are: Jalan Pondok Gede Raya, Jagorawi Toll Road, Jalan Mayjen Sutoyo, Jalan Letjen M.T. Haryono, Jalan Jend. Gatot Subroto, Jalan Letjen S. Parman, Jalan Satria/Prof. Dr. Makaliwe, Jalan Prof. Dr. Latumeten, Jalan Jembatan Tiga, and Jalan Pluit Putri/Putra. Corridor 9 is integrated with the KAI Commuter Bogor Line service at the Cikoko BRT station that connects to the Cawang railway station and the Tangerang Line at Kali Grogol BRT station that connects to the Grogol railway station. Corridor 9 is also integrated with Jabodebek LRT from Cawang to Pancoran BRT stations.
Starting from the Kali Grogol to Cawang station, Corridor 9 runs parallel to the adjacent Cawang–Tomang–Pluit segment of the Jakarta [Inner Ring Road]. This section of the expressway is mostly built at-grade, being positioned in the middle and sandwiched between the arterial road and pair of dedicated bus lanes. As such, most BRT stations from Ciliwung to Kali Grogol are made of two buildings separated in between by the expressway and connected by a skybridge. Due to the skybridge being located outside paid area in most stations, changing direction or transferring to a different corridor or route that stops at the building of the opposite direction requires tapping to pay again.
This corridor is also the longest route among other Transjakarta corridors. Its total length is 28.8 km, and it crosses 5 administrative cities of the Special Capital Region of Jakarta province, namely North Jakarta, West Jakarta, Central Jakarta, South Jakarta and East Jakarta. Corridor 9 is the second busiest Transjakarta BRT corridor, ranked behind Corridor 1 and after Corridor 8.
There is a 35-minute express service which only operates from 06:00-09:00 between Grogol Reformasi and Semanggi. Transjakarta launched the service on 8 May 2023.
History
Corridor 9, along with Corridor 10, commenced service on 31 December 2010 to support the upcoming 2011 Southeast Asian Games. The inauguration ceremony took place at the S. Parman Podomoro City BRT station, with then Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo officially inaugurated both corridors.Starting on 1 June 2014, Corridor 9, along with Corridor 1 and 3 began to operate 24 hours a day, with buses only stopping at certain BRT stations. Starting from February 2016, AMARI service stops at all BRT stations without exception, so the bus stops at all stations round-the-clock.
As Transjakarta's innovation to improve its services, the Grogol Reformasi–Semanggi express service was launched on 8 May 2023. It was launched to accelerate time travel during rush hours up to 35 minutes, so it only operates from 06:00 to 09:00.
