History

The BRT station first commenced operation as Senen Sentral (sometimes called Central Senen) with the entire Corridor 5 service on 27 January 2007.[2] It originally consisted of three platform bays with extending linkways. An expansion to the north was carried out, but later the new area was closed due to narrow access.[citation needed]

On 4 September 2022, Senen Sentral BRT station was closed together with Gatot Subroto LIPI (now Widya Chandra Telkomsel), SMK 57 (Jati Barat), and Kuningan Barat (Simpang Kuningan) for revitalization and Transjakarta began to operate the 3ST (Atrium–Budi Utomo) temporary shuttle route to accommodate affected passengers.[3] The process took eight months and the station was reopened to the public on 31 May 2023.[2][4][5]

On 8 September 2025, Senen Sentral BRT station was officially renamed to Jaga Jakarta after a week of reparations after it was damaged by arson during a nationwide protests on 29 August 2025. The new name was chosen to raise awareness to protect public facilities from any kind of vandalism, arsons and anarchist destruction that often occurred during civil protests.[1][2][6] Debris from the arson and remnants of the schorched amenities, such as turnstiles and a television set for passenger information system, are stored inside a glass box within the station building, touted as a memorabilia and a symbol of awareness.[2][7]

Building and layout

The west side of Jaga Jakarta BRT station has 5 platform bays, while there are 3 bays only on the east side, most likely to place the integration access to Senen Toyota Rangga BRT station. The platform bays resemble squircles, similar to those in Simpang Kuningan and Kampung Melayu. The station now includes an accessible toilet and a prayer room (musala).[5]

Incidents

As with the neighbouring Senen station, Senen Sentral BRT station was targeted in an arson during the omnibus law protest on 8 October 2020. There were no casualties, but burn damage was sustained on the south side of the station building.[8]

Another set of protests erupted on 29 August 2025, and Senen Sentral was among the bus stations burned, damaged and looted by rioters, along with the aforementioned Senen BRT station. The transfer bridge between both stations also sustained the damage.[9][10] It went out of service for a week of reparations that involved local residents, students, and online motorcycle taxi (ojek daring) drivers.[2][11] On 8 September 2025, Senen Sentral BRT station was officially reopened as Jaga Jakarta, but since then, half-height glass walls and platform screen doors were replaced with simple black trellis. Also, the bridge was still closed for a nine-month reparations by the Ministry of Public Works, with Transjakarta provided temporary shuttle route 21ST between the two station during the process.[1][12][13] On 4 June 2026, reparations of the transfer and access bridge was completed and the 21ST shuttle route was decommissioned.[14][15]
