Lebak Bulus

Lebak Bulus is a transportation hub in South Jakarta where multiple bus routes connect to various parts of the city and nearby regions. The station serves destinations like Bogor, Sukabumi, Garut, and Cirebon through different operators.

The station opened in 1996 under Jakarta's Transportation Management Agency and was later relocated to make room for the city's Mass Rapid Transit system. This shift marked a major change in how the area serves the city's transportation network.

The name Lebak Bulus comes from Indonesian words meaning swamp of turtle, naming the area after the wetlands that once covered this part of Jakarta. Today the name remains even though the landscape has transformed completely into an urban transportation center.

The location is easy to reach from different parts of Jakarta and serves as a transfer point for travelers heading to other cities. Visitors should expect crowds during rush hours and allow extra time for connections.

The location shows how Jakarta modernized its traditional bus infrastructure by integrating old terminals into the city's mass transit system stations. This integration created a space where older and newer transportation methods coexist side by side.
