Kampung Melayu, Transit hub in East Jakarta, Indonesia
Kampung Melayu is a Transjakarta bus terminal located beneath the K.H. Abdullah Syafei overpass in the Jatinegara district of East Jakarta. The facility connects several main thoroughfares and serves as a transfer point for passengers traveling across the city.
Operations began on January 27, 2007, with the launch of corridors 5 and 7 as part of Jakarta's rapid bus system. The station was designed from the start as a key interchange point within the city's expanding transit network.
The station brings together commuters from different parts of the city each day, creating a meeting space where travelers briefly cross paths before heading to their destinations. These encounters reflect the daily rhythm of how residents navigate the metropolitan area.
Three main corridors - 5, 7, and 11 - meet at this station, providing connections to many destinations across the Jakarta metropolitan area. The terminal is easily walkable and allows quick transfers between different bus routes.
A 2023 renovation introduced glass platforms and flat floors that allow natural light to fill the entire space. These upgrades made the station noticeably brighter and more accessible for the daily flow of commuters.
