TransJakarta is a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Jakarta, Indonesia. It was the first BRT system in Southern and Southeast Asia. TransJakarta system began operations on January 25, 2004. TransJakarta was designed to provide Jakarta citizens with a fast public transportation system to help reduce rush hour traffic. The buses run in dedicated lanes and ticket prices are subsidized by the regional government.
In 2011, the system achieved the annual peak performance with the buses carried 114.7 million passengers and then in the next following years the number is declining and in 2014, the buses carried 111.6 million passengers, while in 2015 served 102.95 million passengers. But in 2016 hit a new record with 123.73 million passengers. The fare cost is still Rp 3,500 (27 US cents) per passenger since initial operation.
TransJakarta has the world's longest BRT system (210.31 km in length), with 12 primary routes and 10 cross-corridor routes. Three more corridors were due to commence construction in 2014 or 2015 and will be partially elevated whereas the existing corridors are at ground level. In addition there are 18 'feeder' routes that continue past the end of the exclusive busways into the municipalities surrounding Jakarta and use special buses that allow for boarding at either ground level or the TransJakarta station platforms.TransJakarta has total 80 routes (corridor, cross route & feeder route) at the end of 2016. A significant increase from 41 routes in 2015. While TransJakarta deploys 1,056 buses in 2016 and also a significant increase from 605 buses in 2015.

The first TransJakarta line opened to the public on January 15, 2004. Following two weeks in which it was free to use, commercial operations started on February 1, 2004.
TransJakarta was built to provide a fast, comfortable, and affordable mass transportation system. To accomplish those objectives, the buses were given lanes restricted to other traffic and separated by concrete blocks on the streets that became part of the busway routes.
Normal operating times are from 5:00am to 10:00pm. Some routes have extended hours until 11:00pm. Seven routes have limited overnight services providing 24-hour operation.
