Polda Metro Jaya is a Transjakarta bus rapid transit station located on Jenderal Sudirman Street, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta, Indonesia, serving Corridor 1. The station is named after the headquarters of Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Regional Police (Kepolisian Daerah Metropolitan Jakarta Raya (Polda Metro Jaya, PMJ)) adjacent to the south. It is also adjacent with the Semanggi Interchange to the east.
Like most stations in corridor 1, Polda Metro Jaya BRT station was opened together with the entire line on 15 January 2004. In 2013, the station first adopted the usage of solar panels, becaming a pilot project for other Transjakarta BRT stations to adopt renewable energy.[1][2] However, in 2014, the station was relocated slightly to the north due to the construction of the Jakarta MRT.[3]
In late November 2015, the access bridge of the station was cut in half, with the northern half being dismantled for underground utility works, according to the authorities.[4] However, the station remained operating normally, but only be accessible from the south side, causing long detour for pedestrians on the north side to either access the station or just crossing the Sudirman road.[5][6] Plans to rebuild the missing half of the bridge only emerged in late 2018, when the Jakarta provincial government initiated a revitalization for Polda Metro Jaya BRT station access bridge, as well as those in Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) and Bundaran Senayan. As the result, Polda Metro Jaya BRT station was temporarily closed on 2 November 2018 during its bridge's revitalization works.[7][8] The missing half of the bridge was eventually rebuilt and was reopened together with the Polda Metro Jaya station building on 14 April 2019.[9] The bridge has an iconic design similar to those in Bundaran Senayan and GBK.[10]
Building and layout
Polda Metro Jaya BRT station has a total of six platform bays, three for each side. The building has an open-air design, and now consist of simple black-colored exposed steel structure and half-height steel barriers.
