The railway between Jakarta and Anyer Kidul is a railway connecting several places in the province of Banten to Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. It was constructed between 1899 and 1900 in the Dutch colonial age, during which it was also known as the Banten railway (Dutch : Bantamlijn).

History

The public railway company Staatsspoorwegen built the line in 1899 and 1900 as part of the Western railways (Dutch : Westerlijnen) in order to improve connectivity with the western regions on Java.

On 2 January 1899, the first part was opened between Batavia Zuid (Jakarta Kota) and Tangerang. Until 12 September 1923, this line started from Batavia Zuid, headed west across the street via Pasar Pagi (current day Petongkangan street), turned south to Angke after which the railway followed the current route via Duri. Due to the narrow streets downtown, the new railway from 1923 went around the city on partially elevated tracks. The original plan for this included a rail curve starting from Batavia station going east and curving 180° north- and westwards. Because of the higher costs however, the line was to go east to Kampung Bandan after which trains would have to revert onto the new railway going northwest around the old downtown area. This is the situation as it remains today. [1]

The railway stretch from Duri to Rangkasbitung was completed on 1 October 1899, to Serang on 1 July 1900, and the final extension to Anyer Kidul on 20 December 1900. [2]

Part of the railway up to Maja is electrified with 1.5 kV overhead lines.

MetroMini Type of bus in Jakarta, Indonesia

The MetroMini minibus system is major part of the public transport system of Jakarta. There were reportedly over 3,000 buses in the MetroMini fleet in mid-2012. The buses are similar to the parallel Kopaja system which also provides transport services, on different routes, across Jakarta. The distinctive MetroMini buses are orange and blue with a white stripe running along the length of the bus. Buses provide seating for around 20-30 people with, often, an equal number crammed into limited standing room so the buses are often overcrowded. But at 2015 Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama stopped all of MetroMini's bus operations because of a MetroMini vs KRL Commuter Line crash. If MetroMini wants to operate again, it has to join Transjakarta like the Kopaja as a feeder bus.Many route are will replaced/replaced by Minitrans and Metrotrans buses.
