Harmoni is a Transjakarta bus rapid transit station located in Hayam Wuruk street, Jakarta, Indonesia. The name of the station comes from the Harmony Society Building, which once stood nearby its area. It used to be a central station and transit point between corridor 1, 2, 3, 8, and other routes. Due to the ongoing construction of the Jakarta MRT, the operational of the station has moved into a temporary building located at the north of the original building.[1] The temporary building has limited capacity that can only serves corridor 1 only and several routes have to be rerouted.[2]

History
edit
Harmoni BRT station was first opened on 15 January 2004, along with the soft launch of corridor 1. It has already designated as the main transit hub and central station of the TransJakarta BRT system, hence the name Harmoni Central Busway.[citation needed]
The original building was built above the Ciliwung river and had a large capacity up to 500 people with 18 platform bays, accessible with a pedestrian bridge. Several routes that serves this station were corridors 1, 2, 3, 5C, 5H, 7F, 8, 8A, 9B, 10H, and 12M.
On 20 February 2023, TransJakarta and Jakarta MRT announced that Harmoni BRT station would be closed and moved its operational into a temporary building on 3 March 2023, due to the construction of the Harmoni MRT station as the part of the MRT's North–South Line extension from Bundaran HI to Kota.[3][unreliable source?] However, it was delayed for one day.[4] Eventually, on 4 March 2023, Harmoni BRT station was closed and all of its operational moved into two separated temporary buildings.[2][5][unreliable source?]
Due to the limited capacity of the temporary buildings, several routes have to be rerouted, such as corridor 2 which temporarily terminates at Monas, corridor 3 at Bundaran HI (shortened to Monas on 29 May[6][unreliable source?]), corridor 7F extended to Juanda, and corridor 8 extended to Pasar Baru by merging corridor 8A (Grogol 2–Juanda).[2][5] To accommodate passengers whom affeceted by this readjusment, TransJakarta operates one temporary route, namely 3H (Jelambar–Kota).[5] TransJakarta operates corridor 3H because passengers of corridor 3 who wanted to go to Kota Tua Jakarta usually transit at Harmoni. Therefore, a temporary route have to be provided to accommodate affected passengers. TransJakarta also operates 2ST temporary route (Juanda–Bundaran HI), which was closed on 16 November 2023.
The temporary building operational and route readjusments will last until the MRT construction completed in 2029 or 2030.[1]
Building and layout
editSince 4 March 2023, Harmoni BRT station operates with two separated temporary buildings each located in Jalan Gajah Mada on west side and Jalan Hayam Wuruk on the east side.[7] The west building (at Jalan Gajah Mada) only serves northbound buses (corridor 1 towards Kota), and the east building (at Jalan Hayam Wuruk) only serves southbound buses (corridor 1 towards Blok M).
As of 26 August 2023, the west building of Harmoni BRT station was deactivated due to a traffic diversion to support the MRT construction. Currently, the east building at Jalan Hayam Wuruk is serving buses from both directions.[8][unreliable source?]

Controversy
editIn August 2022, a coffee shop was opened at Harmoni BRT station, which occupied almost half of the passegeway of the station that disturbs the highly crowded passenger flow.[9] On 2 September 2022, after being protested by passengers, the coffee shop was eventually removed.[10][11]
Incidents
editOn 8 October 2020, protesters of the omnibus law protest burned several parts of Harmoni BRT station. The station suffers a heavy damage, where the glass were broken, debris scattered around, and the walls were vandalized.[12][13]
