Underpass Kuningan (Transjakarta)


Underpass Kuningan is a Transjakarta bus rapid transit station, located near the southern end of the H.R. Rasuna Said street in Jakarta, Indonesia, primarly serving Corridor 6. It is named after a traffic underpass to the south, and connected to the station of Corridor 9 to the south by a transfer bridge.

History

Underpass Kuningan BRT station was originally named Kuningan Timur because of the fact that it is located within the administrative village of the same name. It commenced operations alongside the opening of Corridor 6 on 27 January 2007, and was originally located at the southern end of H.R. Rasuna Said street, adjacent with the Turkish Embassy to the east.
In 2017, the Jakarta Provincial Government started the construction of a traffic underpass below the severely congested intersections between Rasuna Said, Gatot Subroto, Mampang Prapatan, and Kapten Tendean streets, which was finished in April 2018. Because of this, on 2 February 2018, Kuningan Timur BRT station was relocated about 160 metres to the north, adjacent with the Dutch Embassy to the west, as the original building would be demolished for the underpass. Its access bridge and transfer access to Kuningan Barat station was modified to accommodate the underpass as well. Sometime between late 2018 to early 2019, the station building was temporarily demolished to make way for the construction of the Jabodebek LRT elevated track pillars. After that, the station was rebuilt and reopened on 18 June 2021.
In late December 2023, Kuningan Timur BRT station was renamed into Underpass Kuningan.

Building and layout

The current building of Underpass Kuningan BRT station is far longer than the original one, with a total of 12 platform bays.
