Location

Cawang Sentral (formerly Cawang UKI) is a Transjakarta bus rapid transit station located at Mayjen Sutoyo Street in East Jakarta, Indonesia. It is an interchange station between corridors 7, 9, and 10, and has been designated as one of the central stations of the BRT system. ^[1] The station is located adjacent with the Christian University of Indonesia (UKI) on the east, hence its former name.

Because of the large mobility of passengers and its designation as a central station, this station was closed for a major revitalization on 1 June 2023. ^[2] Transjakarta provided the 9N (Pinang Ranti–Cawang Sutoyo, still operating) and 10ST (PGC–BNN, closed in September 2023) shuttle routes for passengers who wanted to transit between corridor 9 and 10. On 17 November, during the revitalization progress, Transjakarta announced that the then-named Cawang UKI BRT station would be renamed to Cawang Sentral, as the station served 12 different routes BRT and non-BRT feeder routes. At the same day, the revitalization progress had reached about 50%. ^[3]

On 24 December 2023, the station was reopened to the public with its new name Cawang Sentral. ^[4]

Building and layout

As a central station that serves three main corridors, Cawang Sentral BRT station now has two floors: the lower floor as the platform area, and the upper floor as a concourse. The station is also equipped with elevators for priority passengers (disabled, elderlies, etc.) and escalators to ease the passenger flow. ^{[5] [6]} The second floor area is built at the north of the station's bridge access.

The building is designed in a semi open-air concept, in order to maximize the usage of natural lighting from the sunlight. ^[6]
