Jakarta commuters faced disruptions on Thursday as PT Transjakarta announced route adjustments for several bus lines due to a protest near the Parliament Complex (DPR/MPR).

The state-owned public transport operator stated that the protest necessitated temporary service suspensions, route modifications, and shortened routes for affected lines. Specific bus stops, including those at Gerbang Pemuda and Petamburan, were not served by certain routes.

Routes like the 1B (St. Palmerah-Tosari) and 1F (St. Palmerah-Bundaran Senayan) were temporarily halted. Additionally, the 8N route (Kebayoran-Petamburan via Asia Afrika) saw its service shortened, omitting stops at MPR 1 and MPR 2.

Even the Mikrotrans JAK 102 (Blok M-Lebak Bulus) experienced a route change due to road closures around Jalan Hj Nawi. Transjakarta apologized for the inconvenience and urged passengers to use the Transjakarta application to monitor real-time updates and adjust their journeys.
