Masjid Agung is a Transjakarta bus rapid transit station located next to the Al-Azhar Great Mosque (Masjid Agung Al-Azhar, hence the name) on Sisimangaraja Street, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta, Indonesia, primarily serving Corridor 1.
History
Masjid Agung BRT station opened a month after the inauguration of corridor 1. It was originally located in front of the mosque's western exit, 200 meters north of the current location. The original station was tiny, having only one gate on each side of the platform, constructed on the road median. The station's main entrance was in form of a skybridge located in front of the mosque and on Hang Tuah III Street.[1]
On August 28, 2014, a fire burned the Masjid Agung BRT station, it first came from the bus stopping here. As the result, the station was closed for a mean time.[1][2] Later, two separated temporary buildings were constructed on road sides as the burned out existing building would be demolished for the Jakarta MRT construction.[3][4][5] The skybridge access was closed for demolition on November 17, 2014.[6]
After the MRT construction completed, a new permanent building for Masjid Agung was built around June 2018, this time situated on the road median below the MRT track and adjacent with the Hang Tuah VII and Raden Patah II intersection to the south.[7][8]
Building and layout
Masjid Agung BRT station is now located beneath the viaduct of Jakarta MRT North-South Line.[7] It was made bigger with two gates on each side of the platform. The station's design looks different from the old structure's, resembling the design of Corridor 2's and Corridor 5's station platforms extension. The station is accessible via a zebra crossing located around the traffic light south of the station.
