On 4 September 2022, the station was closed together with Gatot Subroto LIPI, SMK 57, and Kuningan Barat for revitalization and TransJakarta began to operate the 3ST (Atrium–Budi Utomo) temporary shuttle route to accommodate affected passengers.[1] The process took eight months and the station was reopened to the public on 31 May 2023.[2][3]

Building and layout edit

The west side of Senen Central BRT station has 5 platform bays. While on the east side, there are 3 bays only, most likely to place the integration access to Pasar Senen BRT station. The platform bays are resembling squircle, similar like those in Kuningan Barat and Kampung Melayu.
