Balaraja

Balaraja is a town and an administrative district (kecamatan) within Tangerang Regency in the province of Banten, on Java, Indonesia.

[1] The administrative centre is at Talagasari, and the district is sub-divided into one urban kelurahan (the town of Balaraja) and eight rural villages (desa), all nine sharing the postcode 15610, and listed below with their areas and their officially-estimated populations as at mid 2023.

The introduction of this new line aims to alleviate traffic congestion, enhance public transportation efficiency, and promote sustainable urban mobility.

With Balaraja as the initial station, the MRT Phase 3 project will not only improve accessibility for residents in the western suburbs but also integrate seamlessly with other transportation modes, fostering greater connectivity across the region.

This development is expected to spur economic growth and contribute to the overall improvement of public transportation in Jakarta.
