Batik Solo Trans (abbreviated BST) is a bus rapid transit system serving the city of Surakarta, Central Java. Launched in 2010, it currently operates 12 corridors.[2]

Summary

Batik Solo Trans was launched on 1 September 2010 by then-mayor of Surakarta Joko Widodo.[3] The service, which initially had only a single corridor and 38 stations,[4] was expanded with its second corridor in 2014 and a third in 2018.[5][6]

In 2017, estimates place that 5,500-6,000 people used the first corridor daily, with another 3,500-4,000 in the second.[1] The city's transportation board claimed that around 5,000 used the third corridor service daily.[7] While it has some features of BRT systems, BST has low passenger throughput and lack a right of way in roads.[8]

There were 90 buses in service on 2021.[9] The BST also uses local angkot to act as feeders to the service.[8]
