Transportation[]

Jakarta-Serpong Toll Road

The city is served mainly by land transportation. Buses, minibuses and taxis are the main methods of transportation available. The public transportation mostly goes to Jakarta since many of the residents of South Tangerang commute to Jakarta on a daily basis. There are feeder buses for TransJakarta. The feeder buses goes from Bumi Serpong Damai and Bintaro Jaya to downtown Jakarta in Senayan.

Main road and highway in the city are :

Main road :

  • Jl. Raya Serpong
  • Jl. Pahlawan Seribu, BSD City
  • Jl. Kapten Soebianto Djojohadjikusumo, BSD City
  • Jl. Pelayangan, BSD City
  • Jl. Ir. H. Juanda, Ciputat
  • Jl. Ciater Raya
  • Jl. Alam Sutera Boulevard

Highway :

  • Jakarta-Serpong Toll Road (connecting Serpong and South Jakarta/JORR 1)
  • Serpong-Cinere Toll Road (connecting Serpong and Cinere in Depok)
  • Kunciran-Serpong Toll Road (connecting Kunciran in Tangerang City/Soekarno Hatta Airport and Serpong)
  • Serpong-Balaraja Toll Road (in progress for section 1A) (connecting Serpong and Balaraja in Tangerang Regency)

The city is also served by commuter rail service KRL Commuterline for those commuters who work in Jakarta. There are five stations located in South Tangerang, namely , Pondok Ranji, Rawa Buntu, Serpong and Sudimara. All stations serves the Tanah Abang - Rangkasbitung Line.

There are two toll roads servicing the city, namely Jakarta–Serpong Toll Road and Jakarta–Tangerang Toll Road. There are also several toll roads currently under planning. The plans are for a Serpong-Balaraja Toll Road which will continue the Jakarta-Serpong toll road, and Jakarta Outer Ring Road 2 which will be connecting the city to Soekarno–Hatta International Airport in the near future. Kunciran-Serpong Toll Road and Serpong-Cinere Toll Road are the latest new infrastructure built in the city.

Pondok Cabe Airport – which is used for military and civilian services – is the only airport located within the city boundaries. It is owned by PT Pertamina, the national oil company. The airport is also used for the maintenance base for Pelita Air Service, also owned by PT Pertamina.

Cycle rickshaws (becak) are still available in some areas in the city. Becak is the only method of transportation currently forbidden to operate in Jakarta as its slow speed has allegedly led to congestion in the traffic of Jakarta. However, since South Tangerang is located on the outskirts of Jakarta (instead of the city proper), it is allowed in the city.

In April 2015, Corridor-2 of which is similar to TransJakarta has been launched to serve public from Pondok Cabe Terminal to Rawa Buntu Station of KRL Jabodetabek. It's free until end of 2015, but only operate between 06:00-09:00, 11:00-14:00 and 16:00-18:00 with notation time of serve will be added as needed. The other seven corridors will be applied gradually.[9]
