Senen (or Senen Toyota Rangga,[a] with Toyota Astra Motor granted for naming rights)[1] is a Transjakarta bus rapid transit station located at the western end of Letjen Suprapto street in Senen, Jakarta, Indonesia, which serves corridors 2 and 14. It is connected to Jaga Jakarta station that serves Corridor 5. The BRT station is located southwest of the Pasar Senen railway station.
History
The station was opened on 15 January 2006, along with the opening of corridor 2. In early 2020, the original building was demolished to make way for the construction of the Senen underpass tunnel extension that passes underneath it.[2] Two separated temporary buildings were built to retain the operational during the construction. Transjakarta began to rebuild the station in August 2020, after the physical construction of the Senen tunnel was completed.[3][4] The new building of the Senen station was opened to the public on 22 November 2020.[5]
Naming rights
On 20 November 2023, Senen BRT station was renamed into Pasar Senen. However, Transjakarta did not make an official statement about the renaming,[6] but it was later revealed that the renaming was a part of the company's mass "neutralization" of BRT station names from third-party names (e.g. unofficial use of cooperate names, government institutions and individuals), that allow those renamed stations to grant an official naming right.[7][8]
On 17 April 2025, automobile company Toyota Astra Motor (TAM), a subsidiary of Astra International (currently holding the right for Bundaran HI BRT station), bought the naming rights for Pasar Senen BRT station in a two-year contract. The station name was reverted again to Senen, imbued with the brand name TOYOTA Rangga to foster the promotion of their compact commercial pickup truck, Toyota Hilux Rangga, which claimed to have "relevance with the Senen region as a centuries-old economic development center."[1][9]
Building and layout
The current 2020 building of Senen Toyota Rangga BRT station is wider than the previous one, and equipped with accessible toilets and nursery rooms.[5] It used to feature an artistic element on the roof that resembles the Betawi traditional house ornament, gigi balang, before an arson incident in August 2025. After that, the building now only consist of simple exposed steel structure and half-height black trellis.[10]
The access bridge was also renovated in 2020 with an iconic design that resembles the piano keys, eqquiped with elevators for prioritized passengers (e.g. disabled people), currently under reparations.[5]

Incidents
Riotings
2020 Omnibus law protest
On 8 October 2020, protesters of the omnibus law protest burned the two separated temporary buildings of the Senen BRT station and also damaged the then-unfinished new building of the station. The neighboring Senen Sentral (now Jaga Jakarta) station and an old movie theatre were also damaged as well.[12]
August–September 2025 protests
On 29 August 2025, Senen BRT station was severely burned by rioters (alleged to be provocators) during widespread protests that day, as it is located only 350 metres (380 yd) east of the Headquarters of the Mobile Brigade Corps Command for the Greater Jakarta Police in Kwitang, one of the main targets of the protest. A large flame had almost entirely melted the building, as well the central staircase and parts of the connection bridge. The elevators for disabled access were also damaged. Some properties inside were looted and set ablaze.[13][14]
On 8 September 2025, Senen BRT station was reopened after reparations, but now the connection bridge to Jaga Jakarta station is still closed for reparations.[10] To sustain the transfer process between to two BRT stations, Transjakarta currently operates 21ST shuttle route while the bridge is being repaired, stopping at both Jaga Jakarta and Senen, plus two bus stops near the railway station. The shuttle route operates 24 hours a day.[11]
Others
On 6 February 2025, the elevators for disabled access went out of power. There were two people trapped inside one of the elevators. Firefighters were deployed to evacuate the victims. Since then, the elevators were left unoperational.[15]
