Denpasar is a Transjakarta bus rapid transit station located on Jenderal Gatot Subroto Street, Kuningan Barat, Mampang Prapatan, South Jakarta, Indonesia, serving Corridor 9. The station is named after a street located across the street some distance from the station, Denpasar Raya Street, taken from the city with the same name in Bali.
History The station was originally given the working name Kuningan Timur during the construction of Corridor 9. The station's name was subsequently changed to Gatot Subroto Jamsostek to avoid confusion with another station of the same name that is now called Underpass Kuningan. The name "Gatot Subroto" came from the street where the station is located, taken from the national hero Gatot Soebroto; while "Jamsostek" refers to the adjacent headquarters of a government agency named BP Jamsostek (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial Ketenagakerjaan, , now referred as BPJS Ketenagakerjaan). The station began operations on 31 December 2010, on the launch day of Corridor 9, which was inaugurated by then Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo at S. Parman Podomoro City (now Tanjung Duren) station.
Transjakarta initially announced that the station would be closed on 18 October 2023 for revitalisation works. But due to passenger complaints and the need for a public socialization of the closure, the station was closed a month later on 19 November 2023. The station reopened on 18 July 2024 at 7 pm, with the new name Denpasar. The new name was announced in January 2024 as an effort to "neutralize" BRT station names from unofficial use of third-party names (in this case, "Gatot Subroto" as a historical figure, and "Jamsostek" as a government agency).
Building and layout The station, like most along the stretch of Corridor 9 adjacent to the Jakarta Inner Ring Road, comprises two separate structures, one for each direction. A paid transfer link does not connect the two structures and thus requires passengers changing direction to transferring to the opposite direction to exit the paid area and pay again.
