Kwitang, Transjakarta bus stop in Senen, Central Jakarta, Indonesia
Kwitang is a Transjakarta bus stop on Corridor 2, located at the junction of Jalan Prajurit KKO Usman dan Harun (formerly Jalan Prapatan) and Jalan Kwitang Raya in Senen, Central Jakarta. The rebuilt stop has two sides, north and south, each with three automatic platform doors, and a large trembesi tree grows in a sterile open area at its centre.
Kwitang bus stop first operated on 15 January 2006, when Corridor 2 opened with a one-way route from Harmoni to Pulo Gadung 1. On 6 June 2021 the original structure was demolished for revitalisation because it was too small for one articulated bus, and rebuilding stalled for nearly a year. Construction of the new stop, a few dozen metres west, began on 15 April 2022 and it reopened on 11 August 2022.
The stop's name comes from Kwitang, the neighbourhood to its south, where the tomb of Habib Ali Al Habsyi Kwitang draws pilgrims. Riders can walk from the platforms to that grave, to Taman Gunung Agung and to the Museum Kebangkitan Nasional, all listed among the nearby places.
The stop sits on Jalan Prajurit KKO Usman dan Harun, formerly Jalan Prapatan, at its junction with Jalan Kwitang Raya. The north and south platforms are set some distance apart, each with three automatic doors, so check which side serves your direction before entering. A plaza outside the paid area connects the two sides.
The new halt has a trembesi tree growing in the middle of the platform, given a wide open sterile zone to accommodate its growth, similar to the East Jakarta Mayor halt on Corridor 11. It is one of five halts with a tree inside, alongside Senayan Bank DKI, Monumen Nasional, Balai Kota and Bundaran Senayan.
