Penjaringan, Coastal district in North Jakarta, Indonesia
Penjaringan is the westernmost district of North Jakarta situated along Jakarta Bay and characterized by flat coastal terrain. The area is crossed by a network of channels and water basins designed to manage water during heavy rains.
Penjaringan bus stop opened as part of Transjakarta corridor 9 and is one of eight stops on that corridor never renamed since construction. On 25 July 2015 Transjakarta shortened corridor 12 by dropping Pluit stop, making Penjaringan its terminus, so buses turned back toward Landmark Auto Plaza (now Pluit Selatan). In 2021 the corridor was extended again to Pluit stop.
Penjaringan is one of eight stops on corridor 9 that have kept their name since the corridor was built. Since 25 July 2015 it has served as the terminus of the AMARI corridor 12 service toward Sunter Kelapa Gading, and all AMARI corridor 12 buses still begin and end their runs here without calling at Pluit.
Penjaringan bus stop sits on Jalan Pluit Raya, serving as a transfer point between corridors 9 and 12. Most corridor 12 buses stopping here actually run toward Sunter Kelapa Gading rather than Pluit, so check the destination sign before boarding. Nearby landmarks for orientation are Emporium Pluit Mall and Pluit Junction.
