Metrotrans is a regular transit bus service operated by TransJakarta introduced in 2017 ^[1] to replace the aging MetroMini and Kopaja buses. ^[2] It was introduced to offer a more reliable and comfortable form of bus travel in Jakarta and its surrounding areas. It serves a number of routes, that are often interconnected with other modes of transport in Jakarta like the Transjakarta BRT, MRT, and Commuterline. Unlike Transjakarta buses it doesn't drive on a dedicated bus lane, and has its design based on the European-styled low-floor bus. One reason for the low-floor buses is to make the bus service more accessible for disabled passangers. ^[3] Since 2022, Metrotrans also operates a fleet of electric powered buses. ^[4] These electric buses are from Chinese manufacturers such as BYD, Skywell, Golden Dragon, and Zhongtong. ^[5]

Routes and Fares

Currently there are about 65 routes that are served by both Minitrans and Metrotrans busses. ^[6] The service covers nearly all of Jakarta, and runs daily from 05:00 - 22:00. ^[7] Nearly all routes are connected to a Transjakarta or a Mikrotrans corridor, where passengers could transfer. Furthermore they are also connected to Transportation Hubs like CSW-ASEAN, Blok-M Terminal and Dukuh Atas. ^[6]

The fair of a single trip on Minitrans Bus is Rp. 3,500, it can only be paid electronically using QRIS on your phone or by cards like e-money. ^[8] While it is an essential feeder service to Transjakarta, one still has to tap out of a Minitrans Bus and then tap in at a Transjakarta bus station, resulting in one having to pay double to transit.
