Jakarta's New Transjakarta Route: Blok M to Ancol Now Operational with Expanded Stops
Jakarta's public transportation network has expanded with the official launch of the Transjakarta Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor connecting Blok M to Ancol. The new route, which began operations this week, aims to improve connectivity across the city and reduce traffic congestion.
Key Stops Along the New Corridor
The Blok M-Ancol route features several strategically placed stops designed to serve major commercial, residential, and recreational hubs. Key halts include:
- Blok M Terminal – A major transit hub in South Jakarta.
- Kuningan – Serving the city’s bustling business district.
- Monas (National Monument) – A prime tourist destination.
- Kota Tua (Old Town) – A historical and cultural hotspot.
- Ancol Dreamland – Jakarta’s largest integrated entertainment complex.
Enhanced Accessibility and Reduced Congestion
City officials emphasize that this expansion is part of a broader effort to make Jakarta’s public transport more efficient and accessible. With dedicated bus lanes and integrated ticketing, the new route is expected to shorten travel times for thousands of commuters daily.
"This corridor is not just about mobility—it’s about transforming how Jakartans move," said a Transjakarta spokesperson. "By linking key areas, we’re reducing reliance on private vehicles and easing traffic pressure."
What This Means for Commuters
The Blok M-Ancol route is expected to serve approximately 50,000 passengers daily, with buses running at 10-minute intervals during peak hours. The integration with other Transjakarta lines and the MRT system further enhances its utility.
Future Expansions in the Pipeline
Jakarta’s government has signaled further expansions, including potential connections to the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and Greater Jakarta’s satellite cities. These developments align with Indonesia’s broader push for sustainable urban mobility.
Commuters have welcomed the new route, though some call for additional improvements, such as real-time tracking and increased frequency during off-peak hours.
