About Poris Plawad Terminal

Efforts to organize and develop public transportation aim to alleviate the increasingly severe traffic congestion. As a strategic measure, the management of the terminal has been transferred from the local government to the central government, specifically the Ministry of Transportation. In accordance with Law No. 23 of 2014 on Local Government, this transfer aims to ensure consistent service standards across districts or cities within the province, avoid local political interventions, and enhance accountability. Terminal Poris Plawad is one example of this transfer, previously managed by the Tangerang City Government.

Considering that Terminal Poris Plawad is situated within the Jabodetabek area, the Ministry of Transportation has delegated management authority to the Jabodetabek Transportation Management Agency (BPTJ).

Origin of the Name and History of the Terminal

The name Terminal Poris Plawad is derived from a female warrior named Mpok Ris, known for fighting against colonialism using the Plawad wood as her weapon. This terminal was established thanks to a grant from PT Cahaya Baru Raya Realty to the Tangerang City Government and began construction in 2002, with its inauguration taking place on December 6, 2003. Since 2015, Terminal Poris Plawad has been planned as an integrated terminal, given its strategic location connected to the Batu Ceper Commuter Line Station.
