Kalisari Transport Solution, previously known as Perusahaan Otobus Kalisari, is a transportation company that has been serving the public since September 1, 1961. Founded by Sulistijo Tjitrowirjo, the company began its journey from its first office on Jalan Kalisari, Undaan, Surabaya—which later inspired the company’s name.
As the business developed, on January 31, 1997, we officially transformed into a limited liability company under the name PT. Kalisari Citra Jaya, following the ratification of the deed by Notary Mochtar Rudi, SH. Our head office is now located on Jalan Ahmad Yani No. 258, Surabaya, East Java.
As a transportation company that has spanned decades, we have consistently upheld our reputation, credibility, and the trust of the East Java community, especially those in and around Surabaya. Thanks to continuous dedication and innovation, we have established ourselves as a safe, comfortable, and reliable public transportation provider.
Founded on September 1, 1961, by Sulistijo Tjitrowirjo, Kalisari Transport Solution—formerly known as Perusahaan Otobus Kalisari—began as a modest transport service in Surabaya and has since grown into one of the most trusted public transportation providers in East Java. The name “Kalisari” was taken from the street name of our first office, located in the Undaan area of Surabaya.
Over time, the company underwent major transformation, becoming PT. Kalisari Citra Jaya in 1997. Now headquartered on Jalan Ahmad Yani, Surabaya, we continue to uphold our commitment to safety, comfort, and customer satisfaction. With more than 170 fleet units—ranging from big buses to MPVs—and a team of skilled professionals, Kalisari is ready to meet a wide variety of transportation needs, from intercity public transport to employee shuttles and vehicle rentals.
As we face the ever-changing times and increasing customer demands, we are committed to ongoing innovation to stay relevant and remain the top choice for modern and dependable public transportation solutions.
The journey starts from Arjosari Terminal, Malang—the main departure point for various intercity buses in the Malang area. From here, passengers travel to Purabaya (Bungurasih) Terminal in Surabaya, the busiest terminal in East Java and the main gateway to this metropolitan city. This route is very popular among students, workers, and tourists commuting between these two major cities. The trip takes around 2–3 hours, depending on traffic conditions, with maximum comfort ensured by Kalisari’s modern and well-maintained fleet.
Conversely, the route from Surabaya to Malang departs from Purabaya (Bungurasih) Terminal and arrives at Arjosari Terminal in Malang. This route is frequently chosen by Surabaya residents traveling to Malang for vacations, to enjoy the cool mountain air, or to visit tourist areas like Batu.
