Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung officially launched the new Transjabodetabek route, Bogor-Blok M (P11), and extension of Transjakarta Corridor 13 route at Blok M Terminal, South Jakarta, on Thursday (6/5).

" T he routes we have opened have received tremendous support from the public,"

Transjabodetabek P11 route spans 113.3 kilometers from Baranangsiang Terminal, Bogor, to Blok M, South Jakarta, with 20 bus stops, consisting of 9 stops within Jakarta and 11 stops outside Jakarta. The estimated travel time for this route is approximately 90 minutes under smooth traffic conditions and 110 minutes during heavy traffic.

Pramono expressed his gratitude for the launch of this route, which becomes the 14th corridor for Transjabodetabek.

"We have added five new Transjabodetabek routes within this month, and hopefully, we will open two or three more," he mentioned.

Transjabodetabek P11 route served by 16 buses with headway of 15 minutes between buses. Pramono said that the route has been eagerly awaited by the residents in Bogor and Jakarta, as it serves one of the busiest commuter corridors.

As with previously inaugurated Transjabodetabek routes, Pramono conveyed that public enthusiasm is very high for the opening of this new route.

Based on reports from the Head of Transportation Agency and President Director of Transjakarta, the number of passengers using the Transjabodetabek service has exceeded expectations. For instance, the PIK 2-Blok M route reached up to 5,799 passengers as of May 29.

"Initially, we only targeted 2,500 passengers," he added.

Likewise, the Alam Sutera–Blok M route reaches around 4,000 passengers on holidays, and the Vida Bekasi–Cawang route sees up to 2,463 passengers.

"This means that the routes we have opened have received tremendous support from the public," he expressed.

Therefore, the Jakarta Provincial Government is committed to continuously opening new routes that connect buffer zones to Jakarta. These routes are intended to integrate with existing public transportation systems, facilitating easier access for residents to public transit.

With the operation of CBD Ciledug Bus Stop, the Transjakarta Corridor 13 route, which previously running from Puri Beta-Tegal Mampang, has been extended to operate from Ciledug to Tegal Mampang. This route consists of 14 bus stops and is served by 22 bus units.

"By saying Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, on this day, June 5, 2025, I hereby declare the Transjabodetabek Blok M-Bogor route and the extension of Corridor 13 officially launched," stated Governor Pramono.

Pramono further conveyed that the city is committed to continuously increasing the number of buses to serve and provide convenient transportation for the public. He mentioned that by 2029, the procurement of Transjabodetabek electric buses will continue until reaching 2,000 units.

"So, the point is, this year 200 (buses), and by 2029, we will increase the number of electric buses to 2,000," he asserted.

Bogor Mayor Dedie A. Rachim welcomed the opening of the new Transjabodetabek route, which has been eagerly awaited by the public. According to him, this new route will reduce the traffic on Jagorawil Toll Road and increase the use of public transportation.

"This is the answer after quite a long time, almost 10 years. Since Jagorawi has become too congested, this Transjabodetabek route hopefully will replace those who use private vehicles from Jakarta to Bogor," he said.

On this occasion, he also requested assistance from the Jakarta Government to improve transportation facilities and infrastructure in Bogor City and Regency.

"Insya Allah, this will be the answer and receive great enthusiasm from the public, both in Bogor City and Bogor Regency," he added.

Similarly, Bogor Vice Regent Ade Ruhandi also expressed his appreciation to Jakarta Governor Pramono for connecting the transportation route from Bogor to Jakarta.

"On behalf of the people of Bogor Regency, we express our gratitude, Governor. We extend our highest appreciation and honor," he said.

Tangerang Vice Mayor Maryono Hasan also welcomed the extension of transportation route connectivity from CBD Ciledug to Tegal Mampang. According to him, this extension really helps people's mobility and activities, as well as reduces congestion.

"Surely it is needed by our residents in Tangerang City, which has a very high population," he conveyed.
