Jambi Provincial Government tries to overcome congestion by providing public transportation, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, known as BRT Trans Siginjai Jambi. Public transportation Trans Siginjai Jambi has been operating for two years and has 11 BRT Stations. Placement of the transit node is one of the determinants of the role of bus stations in the surrounding area. The diversity of land-use and facilities close to the transit area can reduce travel time, so it is necessary to map the land-use that will determine the physical characteristics of the area around the BRT Station. This study discusses the characteristics of the area around the BRT Station using quantitative methods. Quantitative methods are used to determine the characteristics of BRT Station based on the variables of the proportion of land use in the area around the BRT Station. The land-use variable is obtained from the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) theory. The study produced three characteristics of BRT Station, namely City Station, Neighborhood Station, and Special Activity Station.

This paper provides empirical evidence on ways commuters access bus rapid transit (BRT) stations in Bangkok, Thailand. It is hypothesized that land use characteristics in areas near BRT stations affect passengers’ travel behavior, particularly the station access portion of the trip. The authors conducted interview surveys of BRT commuters and another survey of land use and transport network characteristics around BRT stations. It was found that the three most widely used modes of access were walking, motorcycle taxi, and bus, with average access distances of 373, 1,040, and 7,076 m, respectively. In addition, the logistic regression technique was used to model walking access mode choice as a function of land use characteristics around stations where passengers boarded the BRT, controlling socioeconomic and trip characteristics. It was found that land use characteristics, including residential, commercial, service, retail, and financial land use intensity in BRT station areas, affected passengers’ tendency to walk to BRT stations. The extent of the catchment area and the determinants of travel behavior have important implications for land use and transportation policies that aim to promote transit-oriented development, particularly those that allow for greater building density around transit stations.

<p><em>Meningkatnya jumlah penduduk di Kota Semarang mengakibatkan perkembangan kota meluas ke wilayah pinggiran yang salah satunya mengarah ke selatan yaitu Koridor Ungaran-Bawen, Kabupaten Semarang.</em><em> </em><em>Hal tersebut</em><em> mengakibatkan ketergantungan yang tinggi terhadap pusat kota (Kota Semarang) yang dapat dilihat dari tingginya pergerakan penduduk pinggiran ke pusat kota. </em><em>Pergerakan penduduk wilayah pinggiran Koridor Ungaran-Bawen menuju pusat Kota Semarang diwadahi melalui sistem transportasi publik berupa Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Trans Jateng Koridor I (Stasiun Tawang-Terminal Bawen) oleh Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Tengah. Pemberhentian BRT Trans Jateng Koridor I di Koridor Ungaran-Bawen terdiri dari 28 pemberhentian halte bus dan 1 terminal bus yang dapat diklasifikasikan menjadi 9 kawasan transit yang berada pada 4 kecamatan yaitu Kecamatan Ungaran Barat, Kecamatan Ungaran Timur, Kecamatan Bergas, dan Kecamatan Bawen yang masih didominasi dengan lahan non terbangun. Lahan non terbangun tersebut dapat dimanfaatkan dengan menerapkan konsep Transit Oriented Development dengan </em><em>keragaman penggunaan lahan di sekitar titik pemberhentian </em><em>yang terintegrasi dengan sistem transportasi kota. Maka, perlu dilakukan penilaian besaran potensi yang dimiliki kawasan transit BRT Trans Jateng Koridor Ungaran-Bawen sebagai kawasan TOD sebelum menerapkannya.</em><em> </em><em>Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan teknik analisis interpretasi citra dan analisis kebutuhan ruang. </em><em>Beberapa kawasan transit yang memiliki potensi lebih sebagai kawasan TOD yaitu kawasan transit 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, dan 8, yang mana kawasan transit tersebut memiliki luas ketersediaan lahan kosong yang dapat dimanfaatkan di atas 100.000 m<sup>2 </sup>yang dapat menyerap/mewadahi penduduk lebih banyak. </em><em>Strategi pengembangan yang digunakan pada kawasan transit yang memiliki potensi lebih sebagai kawasan TOD yaitu infill site serta kombinasi antara infill site dan new growth area, karena lahan yang akan dikembangkan yaitu lahan kosong. </em><em>Ketersediaan lahan kosong tersebut dimanfaatkan untuk pembangunan hunian dan sarana publik tambahan sebagai pengembangan kawasan TOD dengan 3 konsep penyediaan yang berbeda, yaitu terintegrasi, kelompok, dan berdiri sendiri.</em><em></em></p>

Bus rapid transit (BRT) has been acknowledged as a mode of transit that is appropriate to be constructed in conjunction with transit-oriented development (TOD). In order to evaluate the occurrence of a TOD with BRT systems as its component, evaluating the passengers’ mode shift triggered by the provision of the BRT systems is one approach that can be taken. Within the mentioned type of TOD, the built environment should support, or even more trigger, the passengers’ mode shift into taking the BRT systems. This article evaluates the mode shift preference of Transjakarta BRT passengers. This article also evaluates the heterogeneity of mode shift preference among various groups of Transjakarta passengers. This article qualitatively describes the mode shift preference, while the data was collected, processed, and presented in quantitative manners. Information regarding the mode shift preference is collected through an indirect interview. The statistics of the mode shift preference is processed using simple statistical analysis and Bartlett’s test for variance heterogeneity. It is found that the role of the built environment in supporting Transjakarta passengers’ mode shift into taking Transjakarta is relatively low. It is also found that the variance of the mode shift preference is homogeneous across various groups of Transjakarta passengers. This article concludes that the envisioned bus rapid transit-oriented development (BRTOD) hasn't been fully occurring in areas around Transjakarta corridors.

At the time of this research, Medan City was threatened with the gridlock, a situation where the number of vehicles exceeds the available road capacity. To prevent the gridlock happens, Medan Train Station (Medan ts.) area as the center activity of Medan City, will be developed into an area based on the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) concept by adding Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). The addition is hoped to encourage walking and public transportation usage for visitors in Medan ts. area. This study aims to determine and mapping the movement patterns of commuterline users, in this case Medan – Binjai line which is the only line available, as the basis for the application of the concept of TOD in the Medan ts. area. The research uses observation and interview as the methods. The results of the study showed that the majority of commuterline users of the Medan ts. relied on paratransit when heading or leaving the station than walking. This can be seen from 70% of users (weekday) and 83.3% of users (weekends) using paratransit when heading to the station and 86.6% of users (weekday) and 66.6% of users (weekends) using paratransit when leaving the station.
