CSW-ASEAN TOD

CSW-ASEAN TOD () is a public transit interchange station and transit-oriented development zone between four Transjakarta BRT stations and the ASEAN MRT station on the old ''Centrale Stichting Wederopbouw'' () or CSW intersection at Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta, Indonesia. This building is a disc-shaped circular crossing bridge, when seen from above, that connects the four BRT stations located to the west, east and south of the intersection, and the ASEAN MRT station to the north. This building began to open on December 22, 2021 as an operational trial for the integration of the bus rapid transit and MRT.

The 24-metre-height interchange hub is located adjacent with the headquarters of ASEAN in the northeast and has five floors: the first floor is where the street-level CSW 2, ASEAN, and Kejaksaan Agung BRT station is located (the latter two serving northbound and southbound Corridor 1 buses respectively); the second floor has a connecting bridge from the ASEAN MRT station and include commercials, such as retails and shops up to the third floor; the fourth floor is the access to the CSW 1 BRT station; and the fifth is the top floor where CSW 1 station is located at the elevated track of Corridor 13.

CSW-ASEAN TOD was built together with several other transit oriented developments across Jakarta to facilitate easy transfers by commuters between different mode of public transportation.

Etymology

CSW is an abbreviation of ''Centrale Stichting Wederopbouw'' (Dutch for 'Central Foundation for Reconstruction), which was a contractor involved in several development projects in Batavia (now Jakarta) and beyond. In 1948, the Dutch government partnered with CSW to carry out the long-delayed plan for the satellite city of Kebayoran Baru, which had been postponed for about ten years due to the war and political instability. For this development project, CSW established its own office in this area. Locals later referred to the area as "CSW Intersection." In 1951, the authority for developing Kebayoran Baru was transferred from CSW to an agency under the Ministry of Public Works of the Republic of Indonesia. Kebayoran Baru began functioning around 1953.

The architectural design of the CSW-ASEAN TOD is named ''Cakra Selaras Wahana'' (meaning "a circular building blending with all transport modes in harmony"), an Indonesianization of the original Dutch abbreviation. When it commenced in late 2021, the name 'ASEAN' was imbued with CSW, thus making it officially named as CSW-ASEAN. The 'ASEAN' name is added due to the building's adjacent location with the ASEAN Headquarters (formerly referred as 'ASEAN Secretariat' until 2023).

Background

Although the Transjakarta Corridor 13 has been operating since August 13, 2017, Transjakarta buses had not been able to stop at the CSW BRT station yet for more than four years. This is because its position is too high (about 24 meters from the ground) and does not have facilities to facilitate priority passengers, especially the elderly, people with disabilities, pregnant women, and mothers/fathers carrying toddlers. In 2018, Transjakarta had planned that the CSW bus stop could be connected to the ASEAN MRT station through the procurement of elevators, but this failed to be implemented.

In 2019, the Jakarta Provincial Government held a CSW integration building design competition, responding to the MRT Jakarta service which began operating that year. As a result, the "''Cakra Selaras Wahana''" design was chosen as the basis for the implementation of development. It is planned that the construction based on the design will cost IDR 30 billion.

The construction of this transportation hub began in January 2020 and is targeted to operate in August 2020. However, this building can only be completed in mid-2021. On December 22, 2021, this building was officially opened during the trial period.

Services

Transjakarta

There are four new Transjakarta bus stops operating at this transportation intersection. The three other stops are located on the ground floor of the building. Meanwhile, the existing CSW stop on the elevated BRT line is on the top floor of the building.

CSW 1

The bus station, which is located on the Transjakarta elevated lane, serves buses for regular corridors and for cross corridors, all of which are located on Corridor 13, with five platform screen doors in each direction. The station serves corridor 13, 13B, 13E and L13E.

CSW 2

This station only serves Transjakarta non-BRT buses, with two bus stop doors in each direction. This station serves non-BRT route 1C (Blok M–Pesanggrahan), 1M (Meruya–Blok M), 1Q (Rempoa–Blok M), 8D (Joglo–Blok M), and 8E (Bintaro–Blok M).

ASEAN

This station serves buses for regular corridors and cross-corridors routes, with three platform screen doors in each direction. This station serves corridor 1 towards Kota only and corridor 6V towards Ragunan only. It is located adjacent with the ASEAN headquarters at north, hence the name.

Kejaksaan Agung

This station, named after the adjacent headquarters of the Attorney General's Office of Indonesia to the west, only serves corridor 1 buses to its terminus point at the Blok M bus terminal, as well as being the terminus for route 4K (Pulo Gadung – Kejaksaan Agung) with three platform screen doors on each direction. Other routes that stops in this station are 6M, 6N, 7B, 8D, 8E, P11, S61, and T31. Route S21 (Ciputat – Kejaksaan Agung) originally terminates at this station. However, since December 21, 2024, after switching into a fully disintegrated feeder route, S21 terminates on a regular bus stop in front of M Bloc Space, a creative industry hub.

Jakarta MRT

The CSW-ASEAN TOD also connects the Jakarta MRT service through the ASEAN MRT station. Transjakarta users who get off at this transportation interchange can change to the MRT after leaving the paid area and walking through the pedestrian bridge for approximately 50 meters to the station entrance.

Building plan

The CSW-ASEAN TOD consists of 5 floors of the building. Three Transjakarta stations are located on the ground floor as well as access to the building. The 2nd floor is for pedestrian access to move between BRT stations, as well as connecting the building with the MRT station. Meanwhile, CSW 1 station is located on the 5th floor, which is the highest floor in this building.
