Opened by the Badan Pengelola Transportasi Jabodetabek (BPTJ) on March 12, 1996, Lebak Bulus Terminal is a significant transportation hub in South Jakarta. Despite its name reflecting its location in Lebak Bulus, the terminal is actually situated in Pondok Pinang, a district in Kebayoran Lama. Its strategic location near Lebak Bulus Stadium and Lebak Bulus MRT Station makes it a bustling transportation hub.

Although it has been a crucial part of Jakarta's transportation system, Lebak Bulus Terminal underwent significant changes when the Jakarta MRT project began. As part of an ambitious infrastructure development plan, the terminal had to be demolished to make way for the MRT line under construction.

In exchange, intercity bus routes previously operating at Lebak Bulus Terminal were relocated to Jatijajar Terminal in Depok City and Pondok Cabe Terminal in South Tangerang City. Nevertheless, the role of Lebak Bulus Terminal in Jakarta's transportation history remains significant, marking a crucial change in the city's infrastructure development.
