Wirawiri Suroboyo operates small, 10-14 seat minibuses, that run circuitous routes to pick up and funnel passengers to existing Suroboyo Bus and Trans Semanggi Suroboyo corridors. Wirawiri Suroboyo minibuses are also staffed with helpers that assist the driver with fare collection and passenger wayfinding.
As with Suroboyo Bus, the service is ran by the local Departement of Transportation of Surabaya. The system partly uses a buy-the-service scheme, where the government pays for each kilometer traveled by the operator of the lines.

It was then extended to Mayjend Jono Soewojo street on 1 March 2024. From 8 January 2026, FD05 bypasses the Bundaran PTC extension on the return route (FD05B) to PNR Mayjend Sungkono.
At the terminus of FD05, it initially went through Univesitas Ciputra and UC Loop, before the routing was cut short to Puspa Raya on 1 March 2023. The route was re-extended through UC Loop on 13 October 2024. The route was further extended to RSUD Bakti Dharma Husada starting 8 January, 2026.
FD07 formerly launched with a route that ended just short of Surabaya Pasar Turi station. The route was extended to enter Surabaya Pasar Turi on 12 August 2023.

FD12 was launched in the 1st of January 2026 after taking over the former route of Trans Semanggi Suroboyo corridor 3L.
Wirawiri Suroboyo accepts payments via QRIS and electronic payment cards. QRIS Tap and GOBIS tickets may be accepted in certain lines. Wirawiri Suroboyo follows Suroboyo Bus' fares of IDR 5,000 for the general public and IDR 2,500 for students.
Wirawiri Suroboyo is integrated with Suroboyo Bus and Trans Semanggi Suroboyo corridor K2L/R2. Wirawiri Suroboyo is not integrated with Trans Semanggi Suroboyo corridor K3L, though still shares stops with K3L through corridor FD03.
History
The concept of a feeder service that is integrated with the existing Suroboyo Bus service has been proposed since mid 2022 as a replacement for city angkot lines. Initially, 36 units were allocated by the end of 2022,[6] and unit allocation increased to 52 by 2023.[7]
Wirawiri Suroboyo was launched on the 3rd of March, 2023. It was launched with 5 lines. It initially had 14 Hiace units seating 14 passengers, and 38 Grand Max units seating 10 passengers.[4]
During the 2024 ASEAN U-19 Boys Championship in Surabaya, Wirawiri Suroboyo minibuses were provided as a free shuttle service between TIJ and Gelora Bung Tomo stadium.[8]
Incidents
At 19 September, 2024, a Wirawiri Gran Max unit serving corridor FD03 plunged into the Gunung Anyar river in between Medokan Sawah Timur and UPNVJT. The driver was purportedly conducting an evasive maneuver after a motorcyclist had cut in front of the minibus. The driver suffered minor injuries, whilst three other passengers did not suffer any.[9]
During the August 2025 Indonesian protests, multiple Wirawiri Suroboyo lines had to be redirected and eventually halted prematurely before 20.35 WIB on August 29.[9] Service resumed normally on August 30.
Except Transjakarta, BRT in Indonesia is commonly merely a bus with shelter and not isolated from traffic.
