Blok M bus station

Blok M Terminal is a type-B bus terminal located within the commercial and entertainment quarter of Blok M in Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta, Indonesia. As a type-B terminal, it only serves city transport buses that connect several regions in Jakarta and its surrounding cities. The terminal primarily serves Transjakarta's BRT corridors and feeder routes. State-owned transport company Perum DAMRI also operates a number of shuttle bus services from the Soekarno–Hatta International Airport and several planned townships in Greater Jakarta to Blok M terminal. Apart from DAMRI, Mayasari Bakti and Sinar Jaya also operate their bus routes to this terminal. Due to decreasing service quality, the government planned to revitalize the Blok M terminal. This will be the second revitalization of the terminal after the first one in 1992, which forms the current building of the terminal.

In December 1990, Governor Wiyogo Atmodarminto wanted to revitalize the terminal, by combining it with a shopping arcade (later known as Blok M Mall) on the basement level. The first revitalization cost about IDR 80 billion at the time. In September 1992, the revitalization was completed, and the terminal was reinaugurated on 3 October of the same year. The Provincial Government of Jakarta and PT. Integrasi Transit Jakarta, subsidiary of the Jakarta MRT, are planning to revitalize Blok M terminal once again in 2024. The plan is a part of the government's effort to redevelop Blok M as an integrated transit-oriented development zone and Jakarta's new economic hub, alongside the CSW-ASEAN TOD.
