Transjakarta Corridor 6 is a bus rapid transit corridor in Jakarta, Indonesia, operated by Transjakarta. It operates from Ragunan to the Galunggung BRT stations within the Dukuh Atas TOD.

Rasuna Said, Kendal, Laturharhary, Sultan Agung, Setiabudi Barat, Setiabudi Tengah, and Galunggung streets. The corridor's main interchange hub is at Galunggung in Dukuh Atas, where it is integrated with the KRL Commuterline at Sudirman railway station and the MRTNorth–South Line at Dukuh Atas BNI, as well as the Jabodebek LRT that runs parallel with Corridor 6 from Galunggung up to the Kuningan BRT station.
A 35-minute express service between Ragunan and Kuningan is available only at 06:00 - 09:00.[1]
History
Early operational
Corridor 6 began its trial run in December 2006 and inaugurated on January 27, 2007, along with Corridor 4, 5, and 7.[2][3][4] Until c.2009, the corridor terminates at Halimun BRT station, before it was extended to Dukuh Atas 2 (now Galunggung).[citation needed]
From its early operational in 2007 until c.2015-2017, Corridor 6 was considered to have poor service, due to of its not roadworthy bus fleets,[5][6] lackness of park and ride services, lackness of facilities on BRT stations, and unsterilized bus lanes from personal vehicles.[7]
Service improvement
Since all facilities and services were considered poor, Transjakarta has made a lot of major and minor improvements, one of them by sterilizing the bus lane and revitalizing three BRT stations, Ragunan, SMK 57 (now Jati Barat), and Jati Padang stations in September 2022[8][9][10] which were completed and reopened on December 26, 2022, February 15 and March 4, 2023, respectively.[11][12][13] Corridor 6 is no longer considered to have poor service currently.
Ragunan–Kuningan express service
On May 8, 2023, Transjakarta launched three express services on selected corridors, namely Ragunan–Underpass Kuningan (Corridor 6), Grogol–Semanggi (Corridor 9), and Pluit–Kota (Corridor 12). The express service was launched to accelerate bus time travel during rush hours which only took 35 minutes. The express service only operates from 06:00 to 09:00.[1]
