Before resuming operations, the Jakarta Bina Marga Agency Head, alongside representatives from the Ministry of Public Works and PT Transjakarta, performed a direct inspection of the JPO. The visit aimed to guarantee that the facilities met all safety, comfort, and readiness standards for public use.

The Senen Sentral JPO had previously become a point of public concern after being unable to function optimally due to damages incurred during the 2025 protests. The damage extended to the core structure, requiring a total restoration effort led by the Ministry of Public Works.
In relation to the handover of the restoration results following the 2025 incident, the transfer of the rehabilitated JPO from the Ministry of Public Works to the Jakarta government is presently in progress. Both parties anticipate that the handover process will be concluded shortly.
