The infographic in Indo shows the details of the stations along the route. Note this is only for the 1st phase. Its only in Bahasa Indonesia.

The MRT is supposed to start operating end March 2019. Line starts from the Bunderan HI (Welcome roundabout) to Pondok Indah in South Jakarta. Goes through mainly commercial and business areas, elevated section after Senayan will pass through some government buildings like the Asean Secretariat and the Blok M commercial district. The end of the line after Pondok Indah is a fairly new development of residential and commercial space.

Access to Premier Lounge while flying Sriwijaya?
Can passengers flying domestically on Sriwijaya (now in Terminal 2D) access the Premier Lounge? I've never been there before so didn't know how the terminal is set up, and reviews of the lounge state that it's located past exit immigration.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I’m not sure what’s the situation now at Terminal 2, but if you’re flying domestically, you can’t access the premier lounge past immigration.
Since Terminal 2 is still technically handling Intl flights, then I’d imagine it should still be like that. But, terminal 2D-E-F are connected, and as far as I remember most recently, 2E and 2F are used for domestic flights, so you’d most likely end up using those gates anyways despite checking in at 2D.
There’s a paid for lounge at 2F (before security) which I think also belongs to priority pass, and the entry fee is supposedly around Rp 150-200k (~11-16 USD)

I'm terribly sorry, but I may have to retract my statement. All the lounges in Terminal 2E/2F appear to have closed, and since terminal 2 is becoming a low cost terminal, I think it may be unlikely for a new lounge to open.

Update: I found the lounges at the end of a long hallway of shops in Terminal 2, before security. The International First & Business Class lounge was closed (no info provided on whether it's reopening) with a sign posted redirecting people to the Pura Indah lounge next door. Bring your own towel for the Pura Indah shower.

Transit through CGK
I have read that one should leave several hours before a flight to transfer in CGK - is this true? I am looking to book round trip DFW-CGK and then separately buy CGK-DPS for cheaper total flight. On my return, DPS-CGK - I am nervous about how much time I'd need to allow in order to not miss the international flight home. It may be worth paying extra to book it all DFW-DPS together to avoid the hassle. Any advice based upon travel experiences through CGK? Thank you!

It depends on whether your CGK-DPS flight is leaving from the domestic or international terminal but in either case, I would leave at minimum a few hours' gap in between flights, more if you're flying out of the domestic terminal. The domestic terminal is easy to get to from the international terminal (there's an air train) but CGK is decently-sized and if it's your first time there, it's not always clear which direction you need to head in. I was confused at times about where to go, and I say this as someone who speaks Indonesian and generally doesn't like to get to airports early.
Another factor you may have already considered is that luggage fees vary across the domestic airlines. Some, like Lion Air, charge for most bags, while others (eg, Sriwijaya, Citilink) have weight allowances that are usually smaller than what the international airlines provide (although they tend to be more generous on the DPS route than on other domestic routes). An upside of flying into DPS' domestic terminal, though, is that it will be easier and cheaper for you to get a GoJek (the Indonesian Uber) from the domestic terminal than from the international one. You will almost certainly pay more to get a ride from the international terminal.
