Kampung Rambutan bus station, Bus station in East Jakarta City, Indonesia
Kampung Rambutan is a bus station in East Jakarta that operates as a central transportation hub with two main buildings serving intercity coaches and urban transport services. The facility connects passengers to destinations throughout Java Island by operating multiple bus routes.
Construction of the station began in 1986 as a replacement for the former Cililitan Terminal, which later became the Cililitan Wholesale Center. This shift was part of Jakarta's urban infrastructure reorganization during the 1980s.
Local vendors operate food stalls throughout the terminal, offering traditional Indonesian snacks and meals to travelers. These stalls reflect everyday eating habits and local tastes that passengers experience during their stops.
Passengers can purchase tickets through integrated counters and ticket machines that offer online sales options. Booking in advance helps minimize wait times and ensures you find the right route.
In 2022, Jakarta's Transportation Department completed a modernization project funded by South Korean grants to improve passenger services. These upgrades are visible in the renovated facilities and new technology at ticket counters.
