Due to the decrase of service quality, the Jakarta provincial government planned to revitalize Blok M terminal starting in 2024. [1] This will be the second revitalization of the terminal after the first one in 1992, which forms the current building of the terminal. [2]

History

Kebayoran Baru was originally built as the satellite city of Jakarta, prior to the city's major expansion, which have 17 blocks sorted from A to S. The first block (Blok A) was accidentally became a busy terminus point of public bus routes.[ citation needed ] In 1968, the then-Governor of Jakarta, Ali Sadikin proposed to built a permanent bus terminal on a 2.2 hectares (22,000 m2) land in Blok M. Since the opening, it became a new terminus for all bus services in Kebayoran Baru, which was in a form of an open-air bus terminal. [2]

In December 1990, Governor Wiyogo Atmodarminto wanted to revitalize the terminal, by combining it with a shopping arcade (later known as Blok M Mall) on the basement level. The first revitalization cost about IDR 80 billion at the time. In September 1992, the revitalization was completed, and the terminal was reinaugurated on 3 October of the same year. [2]

The Provincial Government of Jakarta and PT. Integrasi Transit Jakarta, subsidiary of the Jakarta MRT, are planning to revitalize Blok M terminal once again in 2024. The plan is a part of the government to redevelop Blok M as an integrated transit-oriented development zone, alongside the CSW-ASEAN TOD. The revitalization will create a direct connection from Blok M BCA MRT station and the adjacent Martha Christina Tiahahu Literacy Park into the terminal. [1] [2]
