Because of the large mobility of passengers and its designation as a central station, this station was closed for a major revitalization on 1 June 2023.[2] TransJakarta provided the 9N (Pinang Ranti–Cawang Sutoyo, still operating) and 10ST (PGC–BNN, closed in September 2023) shuttle routes for passengers who wanted to transit between corridor 9 and 10. On 17 November, during the revitalization progress, TransJakarta announced that the then-named Cawang UKI BRT station would be renamed to Cawang Sentral, as the station served 12 different routes BRT and non-BRT feeder routes. At the same day, the revitalization progress had reached about 50%.[3]

On 24 December 2023, the station was reopened to the public with its new name Cawang Sentral.[4]

Building and layout

edit

As a central station that serves three main corridors, Cawang Sentral BRT station now has two floors; the lower floor as the platform area, and the upper floor as a concourse. The station is also equipped with elevators for priority passengers (disabled, elderlies, etc.) and escalators to ease the passenger flow.[5][6] The second floor area is built at the north of the station's bridge access.

The building is designed in a semi open-air concept, in order to maximized the usage of natural lighting from the sunlight.[6]
