Simpang Cempaka is a Transjakarta bus rapid transit station located on Jenderal Ahmad Yani Street, Kelapa Gading Barat, Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, Indonesia, serving Corridor 10. It is named after the junction it is located at (hence the name 'Simpang,' Indonesian for 'junction' or 'interchange'), across the street from ITC Cempaka Mas, and is connected to the Cempaka Mas station that serves Corridor 2.
The station opened as Cempaka Mas (at the time the Corridor 2 station was named Cempaka Timur) alongside the rest of Corridor 10 on 31 December 2010.[1] The station and its Corridor 2 counterpart were renamed in early 2024. The Corridor 2 station took the name 'Cempaka Mas', while this station was renamed Simpang Cempaka.[2][3]
Since its opening, the station has been opened and closed numerous times due to flooding. One such incident occurred in early 2020.[4]
Building and layout
The station is medium-sized, but is smaller compared to its Corridor 2 counterpart. It has three gates on each side of the platform and lacks its own faregates, instead sharing one ticket concourse with the Corridor 2 station connected by a 480-metre-long skybridge.[5] The skybridge is unique in the way that it is partially without roof as it is located beneath the eastern stretch of Jakarta Inner Ring Road.
