TransJakarta bus has a door that is higher than the other so that the bus can only be climbed from TransJakarta bus stops ( also known as shelter). The door is located in the central part of the right and left. For articulated buses have three pairs of doors are the front, center, rear left and right. While the single bus in corridor 4-9 has two pairs of doors, the front and rear right and left. The bus door using an automatic folding system that can be controlled from a console that is in the driver panel.

Unfortunately there are still many shortcomings - shortcomings that occurred on this transport. Many people are still complaining to the means of transport is that the lack of feeder buses (feeders) that help serve TransJakarta. Some of the pedestrian bridge that was built for the passengers of TransJakarta periodically suffered damage, for example, which perforated floor bridges and stairs that have been damaged floor. At rush hour, the number of available fleet has not proportional to the number of passengers causing long queues at shelters (especially for corridors 2 and 3) Crime is also sometimes occurs in rush hours when fully charged crowded bus. Existing shelters are not provided adequate means of ventilation so as to make the room became stuffy when there are a lot of people queuing. Some point in the 2-8 corridor lines are still often infiltrated by private vehicle, causing delays on the bus ride certain hours ( in certain circumstances, have given a solution, ie after coordination , the bus will take the path from the opposite direction, while the bus - bus from the opposite direction will pass through a common pathway ). Because often entered ( suddenly ) by pedestrians and private vehicles, then at some point in Corridor 2 and 3 on a regular basis accidents involving TransJakarta bus and pedestrian / private vehicle. Often the stop announcements are not given in accordance with the stop to be traversed, this is caused by the negligence of the driver who forgot to press a key announcement in due course. Making jams and operator of TransJakarta make remarkable and often outside the bounds of reasonableness, especially the construction of a road surface that is lifted. Lack number SPBGs make headway on a number into a long corridor, because the location SPBBG distant and sometimes there are problems in a SPBGs. Although notified the next stop and stop Indosiar Jelambar, Corridor 8 does not stop at the stop Indosiar and Jelambar, due to the condition of the two stops that are too small and crowded by the passenger corridor 3.
