Cawang (formerly BNN) is a Transjakarta bus rapid transit station located at the eastern end of Jalan MT Haryono in Cawang, Kramat Jati, East Jakarta, Indonesia, which serves as an interchange between corridor 7 and 9. Its newly-built west building is located nearby the National Narcotics Board (BNN) headquarters to the southwest (hence its former name) and built below the Cawang LRT Station.
History
[edit]The station began operational as BNN together with the opening of corridor 7 on 27 January 2007.[1] It originally had two separated side platforms each placed on north and south roadsides. Both were connected by a transfer bridge within paid area, which allowed passengers to change direction without paying again. The buildings each had two platform bays, which were later extended to five.
In May 2018, the station buildings were demolished to make way for the construction of the Cawang LRT Station; replaced by temporary buildings located 200 m east of the original site, which are built in same format, two side platforms.[2][3]
The design of the LRT station have already included the new integrated building of BNN BRT station below it. Once the LRT station building was finished, the new BRT station (sometimes referred as BNN LRT) was opened to the public on 24 March 2023.[4] However, the temporary buildings on the east remain operating until present day.
In December 2023, Transjakarta renamed BNN BRT station as Cawang as a part of name neutralization from any government institutions like the nearby BNN, as well as other third-party names, to allow the station to grant a naming right.[5] The northeast and southeast buildings, however, retained the original name to distinguish themself with the new one on the west, though are no longer mentioned in any Transjakarta route maps.
Building and layout
[edit]West building
[edit]The west building of Cawang BRT station has already designed to be integrated with the Cawang LRT station. It is now placed on the road median in a form of island platform and has 6 platform bays for each direction. New facilities are included such as toilets, nursery rooms and a small praying room (musala).[6] The station is also indirectly connected to Jalan Cawang Baru Tengah across the Jakarta Inner Ring Road to the north, as the LRT station has a connection bridge to the Jalan Cawang Tengah Baru. An elevator is also provided to access the BRT station.
