Pakin, Bus rapid transit station in North Jakarta, Indonesia
Pakin is a rapid transit station in the Transjakarta system located in North Jakarta with a central platform and dedicated bus lanes along Gedong Panjang Street. The station sits in the Penjaringan district and features separate bus corridors that keep transit traffic apart from regular vehicle movement.
The station was built as part of the Transjakarta rapid bus system that emerged in the early 2000s to manage growing traffic in the city. Its name comes from a nearby former fish market that developed on sediment from the Ciliwung River.
This station serves as a key meeting point for residents traveling between their neighborhoods and central Jakarta's business zones. Daily commuters move through here in steady flows, making it part of the routine life in North Jakarta.
The station is easily accessible with clear signs showing the different bus routes that connect to various parts of the city. Waiting areas are covered and provide shelter from the elements.
The station was built on the median of a free-flow road, giving it an unusual placement within the street network. The entrance faces the Mitra Bahari Apartments building directly across.
