Starting from the Kali Grogol to Cawang station, Corridor 9 runs parallel to the adjacent Cawang–Tomang–Pluit segment of the Jakarta Inner Ring Road. This section of the expressway is mostly built at-grade, being positioned in the middle and sandwiched between the arterial road and pair of dedicated bus lanes. As such, most BRT stations from Ciliwung to Kali Grogol are made of two buildings (one towards Pluit, and another towards Pinang Ranti) separated in between by the expressway and connected by a skybridge. Due to the skybridge being located outside paid area in most stations (with no paid area connecting the two buildings), changing direction or transferring to a different corridor or route that stops at the building of the opposite direction requires tapping to pay again.
There is a 35-minute express service which only operates from 06:00-09:00 between Grogol Reformasi and Semanggi. Transjakarta launched the service on 8 May 2023.[1]
Starting on 1 June 2014, Corridor 9, along with Corridor 1 and 3 began to operate 24 hours a day (AMARI), with buses only stopping at certain BRT stations.[3][4] Starting from February 2016, [citation needed] AMARI service stops at all BRT stations without exception, so the bus stops at all stations round-the-clock.[5][6]
BRT station revitalization
To create an intermodal integration and service improvement, one of the stations of Corridor 9, namely Cikoko Stasiun Cawang (now Cikoko) was temporarily closed for revitalization on 15 April 2022.[7][8] It was carried out to seamlessly integrate Corridor 9 service with the KAI Commuter Bogor Line at the Cawang railway station and the Jabodebek LRT at the Cikoko LRT Station.[9] Later on 4 September 2022, the Kuningan Barat (now Simpang Kuningan) and Gatot Subroto LIPI (now Widya Chandra) BRT stations were also temporarily closed for revitalization.[10][11] On 15 February 2023, the revitalized Kuningan Barat (now Simpang Kuningan) BRT station was reopened and it was the first revitalized BRT station on Corridor 9,[12] followed by the revitalized Cikoko Stasiun Cawang (now Cikoko) BRT station two days later,[13] and Gatot Subroto LIPI (now Widya Chandra) on 16 July 2023.[14]
On 31 May 2023, following Cikoko and Simpang Kuningan stations, Slipi Petamburan (now Petamburan) BRT station was temporarily closed for revitalization, as well as Cawang UKI (now Cawang Sentral) on the next day, Pancoran Barat (now Pancoran) on 2 June 2023, and Grogol 2 (now Grogol Reformasi) on 3 June 2023.[15]
35-minute express service
As Transjakarta's innovation to improve its services, the Grogol Reformasi–Semanggi express service was launched on 8 May 2023. It was launched to accelerate time travel during rush hours up to 35 minutes, so it only operates from 06:00 to 09:00.[1]
