Intermodal integration

In March 2022, the construction of a pedestrian skywalk in Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta was started in order to create a transit point that connects corridor 8 at the Pasar Kebayoran Lama BRT station with corridor 13 at Velbak BRT station and the Kebayoran railway station which serves the Rangkasbitung Line of the KRL Commuterline.[5][6][7] To support the skywalk construction, Pasar Kebayoran Lama BRT station was closed on 5 September 2022 for revitalization and TransJakarta users were diverted to use Kebayoran Lama Bungur and Simprug stations during the closure.[8] The Kebayoran Lama skywalk underwent a public trial on 21–24 January 2023,[9] and inaugurated by the Acting Governor of Jakarta, Heru Budi Hartono on 27 January 2023,[10][11] even though the revitalization of Pasar Kebayoran Lama BRT station was not finished yet.[12] Pasar Kebayoran Lama station was reopened on 6 February 2023.[13]
