Jembatan Merah, Transit station in Sawah Besar, Indonesia.
Jembatan Merah is a Transjakarta bus station in the Sawah Besar area of Jakarta, built on the median strip of a major city road. A pedestrian overpass connects the platforms to street level near The Media Hotel.
Jembatan Merah opened on 14 February 2013, when it became the transfer point between Corridor 5 and Corridor 12, which runs north to south. The stop stands on Jalan Gunung Sahari Raya in Gunung Sahari Utara, Sawah Besar, Central Jakarta. Its name comes from the red bridge just south of the platforms.
The stop is named after the red bridge that stands just south of it, on Jalan Gunung Sahari Raya. Since 14 February 2013 it has served as the transfer point between Corridor 5 and Corridor 12, so passengers changing between the two corridors pass through here daily.
The station is reached by pedestrian overpasses from both sides of the road, which keep you away from traffic as you move to the platform. If you plan to transfer between lines, allow a little extra time since the boarding area sits on the median strip.
The name comes from the bridge just south of the stop, so the platforms on the median of Jalan Gunung Sahari Raya sit a short walk from the structure itself. Since 14 February 2013 the stop has linked Corridor 5 with Corridor 12, which runs north to south.
