Sawah Besar

Sawah Besar, Administrative district in Central Jakarta, Indonesia

Sawah Besar is a Transjakarta bus stop on Corridor 1, located in Kebon Kelapa, Gambir, Central Jakarta, across from Gajah Mada Plaza. Despite its name, it stands in Gambir district, not Sawah Besar. Since 28 February 2023 it has operated from a temporary structure due to MRT Jakarta Phase 2A construction; the west-side building reopened on 12 October 2026 alongside the temporary Harmoni stop.

The district began as marshland in the late 1600s and gradually transformed into farmland over time. This shift from natural wetland to cultivated land shaped its eventual role as an urban administrative hub.

The stop's name comes from Sawah Besar district, yet the platform stands in Kebon Kelapa, Gambir, across from Gajah Mada Plaza. Commuters on Corridor 1 use it as a landmark along the north-south route through Central Jakarta. Since 28 February 2023 it has operated from a temporary building during MRT Jakarta Phase 2A works, and the west-side building reopened on 12 October 2026 alongside the temporary Harmoni stop.
