DAMRI Public Corporation (Indonesian : Perusahaan Umum DAMRI; was Djawatan Angkoetan Motor Repoeblik Indonesia, lit. Motor Transport Enterprise of the Republic of Indonesia) is an Indonesian state-owned bus operator. [1] Under further development as a public company, the name DAMRI is still used as a brand mark of this state-owned company that still carries out passenger and cargo transport using buses and trucks.
DAMRI has a service network that spreads nearly throughout all regions of Indonesia. In its business activities, DAMRI provides city transport, transport within province, intercity transport, airport transport, tourism transport, logistics transport, transport to isolated areas and inter-country transport.
DAMRI's history officially began in 1943, with the establishment of two enterprises during the Japanese occupation of Java: the Java Transportation Enterprise (Japanese: ジャワ運輸事業社, Hepburn: Jawa Un'yu Jigyōsha, Nihon-shiki: Zyawa Un'yu Zigyôsya) for freight logistics, and the Automobile Board (Japanese: 自動車総局, Hepburn: Jidōsha Sōkyoku, Nihon-shiki: Zidôsha Sôkyoku) for passenger transport. After Indonesia proclaimed independence in 1945, Java Transportation Enterprise changed its name to Djawatan Pengangkoetan (Transport Enterprise) and Automobile Board changed its name to Djawatan Angkoetan Darat (Land Transport Enterprise) as both enterprises were taken over by the Indonesian Department of Transportation.
By 25 November 1946, both enterprises were merged, through a Ministry of Transportation announcement (Indonesian : Maklumat Menteri Perhubungan No.01/DAM/46), into Djawatan Angkoetan Motor Repoeblik Indonesia (DAMRI). It was tasked to "operate land transportation by buses, trucks and other types of motor vehicles".
DAMRI has played an active role during the Indonesian National Revolution, especially during the resistance against the Dutch military aggressions.
In 1961, DAMRI was reorganized as a General Director Board (Indonesian : Badan Pimpinan Umum, BPU). In 1965 the DAMRI BPU became a State Corporation (Indonesian : Perusahaan Negara, PN), and in 1982 it was reorganized as a public corporation. [2] [3]
On 8 June 2023, Perum PPD, an Indonesian statutory corporation that moves in the transportation sector, specifically land transportation in Jakarta and areas surrounding the city, was merged into DAMRI. Minister of State-Owned Enterprises Erick Thohir stated, that the merge was to prevent the overlap of Indonesia's national transportation service, [4] as Perum PPD itself has already expanded its service to Bali, as the operator of Trans Sarbagita transit bus system.
DAMRI serves in some types of services. The services that are served by DAMRI are:
Airport transport is one of the service segments that operates to and from airports. These airport transport segments do not only serve in Jakarta, Indonesia's, but already reach nearly all airports in Indonesia. This service that is oriented to the happiness of its customers, and will always give the best service with its cost that are relatively cheap, safe and comfortable. This service is called Angkutan Pemadu Moda (APM). Airports currently served by Perum DAMRI include Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, [5] Juanda International Airport [6] and Yogyakarta International Airport. [7]
On 26 May 2017, the Jabodetabek Transportation Management Board (BPTJ) planned 12 bus routes from Soekarno-Hatta Airport to some hotels in Jakarta. [8] Perum DAMRI will be operating one routes, which is Amaris Hotel Thamrin City – SHIA.

Perum DAMRI also operated 21 INKA Inobus Cummins ATC 320 CNG Series, which are now retired for its contract period is over. [12] Main corridors that were served were Corridor 5 (Kampung Melayu-Ancol) Corridor 8 (Harmoni-Lebak Bulus), Corridor 9 (Pluit-Pinang Ranti) and Corridor 10 (PGC-Tanjung Priok). As of January 2021, all operations of the Zhongtong units were ceased, [13] and replaced by newer units owned by Perum PPD (in white-blue livery). Since the merger with DAMRI, all of PPD's fleets were automatically transferred to DAMRI, which includes Hino RK8 JSKA-NHU R260 and the newer Zhongtong units. On 22 December 2023, DAMRI officially launched 26 units of Skywell NJL6126BEV low-floor electric bus for non-BRT feeder routes, operating under the Metrotrans brand. [14] [15] In the near future, more electric bus for Transjakarta will be tested by DAMRI. [16]

Some routes are branded as TransJabodetabek or Jabodetabek Residence Connexion (JR Connexion). The current fleet is Hino RK8 JSKA-NHU R260, where some of them were previously used or originally planned as a TransJakarta fleet operated by PPD.
