The TransJakarta Corridor 5 is a bus rapid transit corridor in Jakarta, Indonesia, operated by TransJakarta. The corridor connects Ancol, North Jakarta with the Kampung Melayu Bus Terminal in Jatinegara, East Jakarta. The roads that passed by corridor 5 are Jalan Gunung Sahari, Jalan Pasar Senen, Jalan Kramat Raya, Jalan Salemba Raya, Jalan Matraman Raya, Jalan Jatinegara Barat/Timur and arrive at Kampung Melayu Terminal. From Pademangan to Pasar Jatinegara BRT stations, several stations are close to KRL Commuterline stations.
On 15 April 2022, as one of the stations of corridor 5, TransJakarta temporarily closed the Kebon Pala BRT station (now Matraman Baru) for revitalization along with 10 other stations on corridor 1, 2, 9, and 11.[4][5] The revitalization was carried out to integrate corridor 5 with the Matraman railway station as the brand new station on the KRL Commuterline system.[6] it was later followed by the Central Senen (Senen Sentral) and Pasar Jatinegara BRT stations, which were temporarily closed on 4 and 6 September 2022 respectively.[7][8][9] Eventually on 22 December 2022, the revitalized Kebon Pala BRT station was reopened and renamed into "Matraman Baru".[10] Later on 15 February 2023, the revitalized Pasar Jatinegara BRT station was reopened,[11] later followed by the revitalized Central Senen BRT station on 31 May 2023.[12]
On 7 January 2023, the Kampung Melayu BRT station at the Kampung Melayu bus terminal was temporarily closed for revitalization either. The station is the terminus of corridor 5, 7, and 11, and several non-BRT routes. As the impact of the closure, corridor 5 temporarily terminated at Pasar Jatinegara 1 BRT station, corridor 7 at Bidara Cina, and corridor 11 at Matraman Baru, while non-BRT bus routes still operated normally.[13][14] At the first day of the closure, a number of passengers didn't know that the Kampung Melayu BRT station was temporarily closed.[15] The Kampung Melayu BRT station was reopened on 19 July 2023, and all affected routes returned to operate normally.[16]
