DAMRI's history officially began in 1943, with the establishment of two enterprises during the Japanese occupation of Java: the Java Transportation Enterprise for freight logistics, and the Automobile Board for passenger transport. After Indonesia proclaimed independence in 1945, Java Transportation Enterprise changed its name to Djawatan Pengangkoetan and Automobile Board changed its name to Djawatan Angkoetan Darat as both enterprises were taken over by the Indonesian Department of Transportation. By 25 November 1946, both enterprises were merged, through a Ministry of Transportation announcement, into Djawatan Angkoetan Motor Repoeblik Indonesia. It was tasked to "operate land transportation by buses, trucks and other types of motor vehicles". DAMRI has played an active role during the Indonesian National Revolution, especially during the resistance against the Dutch military aggressions. In 1961, DAMRI was reorganized as a General Director Board. In 1965 the DAMRI BPU became a State Corporation, and in 1982 it was reorganized as a public corporation.
