Traveling long distances in Indonesia is now more comfortable thanks to the Pandawa 87 Sleeper Bus. This luxury bus route connects Jakarta and Banyuwangi, offering a hotel-like travel experience on wheels.

I recently had the chance to try the sleeper bus from Banyuwangi to Jakarta. With a ticket price of IDR 600,000, it’s only slightly more expensive than the executive class bus but provides much better facilities and comfort.

The bus departs at 07:00 AM from Brawijaya Terminal (Karangente) Banyuwangi, and from Jakarta it leaves around 11:00 AM from Pasar Kemis, with stops at major terminals like Kalideres, Pondok Pinang, Lebak Bulus, Kampung Rambutan, and Pulo Gebang.

Modern Capsule-Style Interior



Pandawa 87 operates two types of sleeper buses: the older version with dominant blue seats, and the newer one with a modern capsule-hotel style interior.

Each passenger gets a private capsule-like seat that can recline for sleeping. Lower seats are more stable, while upper seats may shake a bit more on mountain roads, but both offer good comfort.



Pandawa 87 Sleeper Bus Facilities

What makes this sleeper bus stand out is the wide range of facilities included in each private seat:

  • Personal Android TV with music, videos, games, and Netflix (requires your own account).

  • 4 fast-charging USB ports, located by the window and overhead light.

  • Individual reading lights.

  • Air purifier to keep the air fresh.

  • Massage seat function to reduce fatigue.

  • Small onboard toilet at the back of the bus.

  • Complimentary mineral water, snacks, mini instant noodles (Pop Mie), and free coffee/tea from the hot water dispenser.

  • One meal stop included at a designated restaurant along the route.

The seat space is generous, even for passengers around 170 cm tall, with enough legroom to fully stretch out.


Travel Experience: Banyuwangi to Jakarta

The journey begins from Banyuwangi, passing through Jember (where road repairs can slow down traffic) before entering the toll road in Probolinggo.

The bus makes several stops:

  • Pandawa office in Pasuruan for a short break and passenger check-in.

  • RM Titin Caruban Restaurant for a full buffet dinner (fried chicken, grilled chicken, catfish curry, and more).

  • Rest area in Batang for another bus inspection and passenger rest.

After that, the bus continues smoothly on the Trans-Java Toll Road until reaching Bekasi and Jakarta, where passengers are dropped off at their chosen points.

Comfort During the Journey

The air conditioning on the Pandawa 87 sleeper bus is strong, so passengers are advised to bring jackets or blankets, even though blankets are already provided.

With the entertainment system, reclining seats, snacks, and regular meal stops, the 15–17 hour journey from Banyuwangi to Jakarta feels much more enjoyable compared to standard buses.
