Transjakarta Adds New Stops on Blok M Routes

Transjakarta added new stops on routes 1Q and 8E on Saturday, April 18, extending access on two feeder lines into Blok M. (transjakarta.co.id) The change affects route 1Q, which runs between Rempoa and Blok M, and route 8E, which connects Bintaro and Blok M. Transjakarta said both adjustments took effect the same day. (antaranews.com) On 1Q, the added stop is Jalan Cendrawasih 2 in the direction toward Rempoa. On 8E, the added stop is also Jalan Cendrawasih 2, but for buses heading toward Bintaro. (transjakarta.co.id) Those two routes serve neighborhoods south of central Jakarta and feed riders into Blok M, one of the city’s busiest transit hubs. The update gives passengers another boarding and alighting point near Tanah Kusir and the Cendrawasih corridor. (cnnindonesia.com) Transjakarta said the modification was meant to improve rider comfort and match travel patterns it sees on the ground. Ayu Wardhani, head of the operator’s public relations and corporate social responsibility department, told local media riders should check the latest stopping points before traveling. (antaranews.com) The operator kept the service window unchanged: both 1Q and 8E run daily from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. That means the update changes where buses stop, not the span of service. (transjakarta.co.id) Published stop lists show 1Q still links Rempoa, Veteran, Tanah Kusir, Pondok Indah, CSW and Blok M, while 8E continues to serve Bintaro, Pondok Betung and the Blok M corridor. The new stop is folded into those existing paths rather than a full route overhaul. (cnnindonesia.com) For regular commuters, the practical change is simple: buses on 1Q and 8E now pick up and drop off at one more point on Jalan Cendrawasih 2, starting from April 18.
