Integration of Transportation

The Skywalk in Kebayoran Lama demonstrates the dedication of the Jakarta Provincial Government to establish a comprehensive public transportation system. The skywalk facilitates the integration of different modes of transportation through the use of Transit Oriented Development (TOD).

The skywalk connects two Transjakarta stops, Velbak in Corridor 13 and Kebayoran Lama in Corridor 8, as well as the Kebayoran Lama KRL Commuter Line station, making mobility easier. There are four registration doors at Kebayoran Lama Station and two access doors at the Velbak bus stop, providing ample entry and exit options.

Three lifts with a capacity of one ton make accessing the 18-meter Velbak Bus Stop easy. The elevators have the capacity to serve 8-10 people, with priority given to high-need passengers such as the disabled, pregnant women, and the elderly. The skywalk not only reduces traffic congestion, but also offers a safe walking option for pedestrians and avoids road hazards.

Longest Skywalk in Jakarta

The Kebayoran Lama Skywalk stretches 450 meters long, with a width of 3.6 meters and a railing height of 1.25 meters. Smartcitizens only need less than ten minutes to walk on the longest skywalk in Jakarta. The presence of the Kebayoran Lama Skywalk can shorten travel time to change Transjakarta corridors, or change modes of transportation from Transjakarta to KRL and vice versa.

Access to the skywalk is available through elevators, escalators, and stairs. As you travel, you can also enjoy a scenic view of Jakarta from a height.
