TransJakarta live data — verified stack
What this is: a verified map of TransJakarta's public realtime data services — the MQTT live-bus stream, the official app REST API, and the GTFS static feed — plus ready-to-use connection recipes.
Origin: reverse-engineering transit.oyenza.com (a third-party tracker) to determine what it uses. The trail led to TransJakarta's own services, which are reachable directly. Cross-capture verification proved the third-party tracker serves the same data as the official feed — see transjakarta-live-data/analysis.
TL;DR — the three services
- Live positions (MQTT):
wss://mqtt.tj.co.id:8084/mqtt— anonymous, no key needed. Topics/mobile_armada/<cell>/<route>/<trip>/<fleet-no>; one JSON payload per bus. - App REST API:
https://tijeapi.transjakarta.co.id— guest JWT viaPOST /v1/auth/login/guest(no account).POST /v1/busreturns nearby buses and the MQTT topics to subscribe. - Static schedule:
https://gtfs.transjakarta.co.id/files/file_gtfs.zip(~2.4 MB, open download; version observed 27 Jul 2026).
Key verified numbers (Oct 12, 2026)
- Live fleet: ~3,300–3,720 buses (BRT, Mikrotrans, Angkutan Umum Integrasi, Transjabodetabek, Royaltrans, Rusun).
- oyenza cross-capture: 1,794 common buses, 100% trip/route ID agreement, median position delta 8.9 m, 97.8% fleet overlap over 75 s.
- Broker: ~2,000+ retained messages delivered instantly on subscribe; per-bus refresh ~8–75 s in samples.
- Third-party tracker's own browser stream: full snapshot (3,722 buses) + deltas every 3.00 s.
