This paper assesses the operational data of a public transportation system, using the Bus Rapid Transit in Lagos State as a case study. Demographic data was collected through the administration of questionnaires to the commuters; this was carried out to observe variations in the population of the commuters from different perspectives. Some other categories of data were collected which include boarding and alighting, headway, arrival rate of commuters, waiting time of commuters and travel time data. These data were presented and analysed with MS Excel and Minitab statistical softwares. Results from the boarding and alighting data showed bus stops with high flux of commuters, these were at Ojota, Ketu, Mile 12, Costain, CMS and TBS. Probability distribution charts were prepared to analyze the remaining sets of data. This was carried out to study the distribution and consistency of the data. Coefficients of variation for the data were also estimated to study the variability of the data. From the study, the data followed normal distribution and they were consistent such that they can be used for further analysis of the system. It can be concluded that the distribution depicts the real situation at the study location. Thus, bus stops with high density of commuters should be provided with more buses so as to reduce the waiting time of commuters.

<p>TransJakarta was a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Jakarta. It was designed to provide Jakarta<br />citizens with a fast public transportation system to help reduce rush hour traffic. After operating more than<br />one decade, many suggestions and critics were given related to service quality. IPA and PGCV methods were<br />applied to determine which service attributes should be improved and their priorities. In this research, eight<br />service attributes were identified as critical attributes (on first quadrant of IPA diagram). The higher value of<br />PGCV index indicated the priority level of attributes. Based on its priority level, the order were 1) easiness<br />of giving suggestions, 2) ticket queue, 3) easiness of complaints, 4) the facilities for passengers with special<br />needs, 5) employees appearance, 6) transportation cost, 7) accessibility, and 8) the number of bus.</p>

Kathmandu is Rapidly growing city where the Crisis due to centralization is foreseen in Transportation sector due to lack of proper Planning and Vision prior of establishing settlement. The Current status of Transportation system in Kathmandu is quite alarming in absence of well-organized Public Transportation system. The growth of Vehicles and simultaneously lack of improvements of existing facilities and traffic management have resulted in unorganized improvement of Traffic thereby increasing congestion, accidents and decrease in vehicle speed affecting road capacity. So using managed Scientific system to decrease jam causing parameters with most planned system and replacing the existing Systems by modern facilities, the problem can be reduced. Introduction of Bus rapid transit by gradual replacement of old transportation systems by providing a bus lane can be promising remedial measure to optimize public transportation system in Kathmandu valley

Abstrak: Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh permasalahan kemacetan transportasi perkotaan yang diakibatkan tingginya jumlah kendaraan dari para pengguna alat transportasi itu sendiri. Menanggapi permasalahan tersebut Kementerian Perhubungan mencanangkan program pengembangan angkutan umum berbasis jalan salah satunya pengadaan Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) untuk wilayah Kota Mataram dan sekitarnya. BRT Kota Mataram yang disebut juga Bus Trans Mataram merupakan salah satu jenis model angkutan umum yang efisien, aman, nyaman dan terjangkau dengan daya beli masyarakat. Bus Trans Mataram ini mulai beroperasi pada tanggal 21 November 2016 yang memiliki 4 rute. Pertama, di dalam kota, kedua dari pinggiran timur kota, ketiga dari pinggiran utara kota dan keempat, sayang-sayang hingga jalan Lingkar Selatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. Penelitian Kualitatif merupakan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk menggambarkan dan mendeskripsikan peristiwa maupun fenomena yang terjadi di lapangan dan menyajikan data secara sistematis, faktual, dan akurat mengenai fakta-fakta atau fenomena yang terjadi di lapangan. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan Teknik Observasi, Wawancara, dan Dokumentasi. Peneliti menggunakan Triangulasi sumber untuk mengecek keabsahan data penelitian. Analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan tiga komponen yang terdiri dari Reduksi data, Penyajian data, dan Penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan ini menunjukan bahwa implementasi kebijakan pengoperasian bus Trans Mataram Metro di Kota Mataram belum berjalan secara efektif. Hal ini berdasarkan dari kurangnya sosialisasi, tidak konsistennya implementor, tidak adanya ketegasan pemerintah daerah, tidak tersedianya anggaran operasional yang memadai dalam mengimplementasikan program, dibutuhkannya kontribusi dari Dishub Kota Mataram di bidang angkutan. Sedangkan untuk indikator, besarnya biaya yang dibutuhkan dalam pemenuhan biaya operasional, terjadi penurunan jumlah penumpang, dan masih terdapat ketidaksesuaian kualitaas pelayanan pada bus Trans Mataram Metro. Oleh karena harus adanya pembenahan dari lembaga-lembaga terkait mengenai pengoperasian Bus Trans Mataram Metro sehingga berjalan sesuai dengan rencana yang telah ditetapkan. Abstract This research is motivated by the problem of urban transportation congestion caused by the high number of vehicles of the users of the transportation itself. Responding to the problem, the Ministry of Transportation has launched a road-based public transportation development program, one of which is the provision of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) for the City of Mataram and surrounding areas. The Mataram City BRT, also called the Trans Mataram Bus, is one of the types of public transportation models that is efficient, safe, comfortable and affordable with people's purchasing power. The Trans Mataram Bus starts operating on November 21, 2016 which has 4 routes. First, in the city, second from the eastern suburbs, third from the northern suburbs of the city and fourth, unfortunately to the South Ring Road. This study uses a qualitative method. Qualitative research is research that aims to describe and describe events and phenomena that occur in the field and present data systematically, factually, and accurately about facts or phenomena that occur in the field. Data collection is done by Observation, Interview, and Documentation Techniques. Researchers use source triangulation to check the validity of research data. Data analysis in this study used three components consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of this research indicate that the implementation of Trans Mataram Metro bus operating policies in Mataram City has not been effective. This is based on the lack of socialization, the inconsistency of the implementor, the lack of firmness of the local government, the unavailability of an adequate operational budget in implementing the program, the need for contributions from the Transportation Department of Mataram in the field of transportation. As for the indicators, the amount of costs needed to meet operational costs, a decrease in the number of passengers, and there are still mismatches of service quality on the Trans Mataram Metro bus. Therefore there must be improvements from relevant institutions regarding the operation of the Trans Mataram Metro Bus so that it runs according to the plan that has been set.

Improving public services in the urban transportation system consists of improving transportation facilities and infrastructure, improving inter-institutional relations and increasing human resources. The transportation system for the city of Pekanbaru in 2009 began to apply the concept of Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) under the name busway trans metro Pekanbaru. Over time, the trans metro busway has shrunk to become a regular bus. This can be seen that many MRT public facilities are not maintained and neglected so that public confidence in the MRT continues to decline. Efforts to improve public services on a sustainable mass transportation system in Pekanbaru City through a public service system that is provided in the form of transportation facilities and infrastructure that exist on the trans metro busway system in Pekanbaru City, as well as providing solutions in the form of maximizing an ideal and suitable mass transportation system for the people of Pekanbaru City. With the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) model.

Abstrak Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis implementasi kebijakan pengembangan Angkutan Umum Massal berbasis Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) dalam mewujudkan sistem transportasi publik perkotaan yang berkeadilan dan Berkelanjutan di Provinsi DKI Jakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi, wawancara mendalam dan studi kepustakaan. Analisis data penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik triangulasi. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa implementasi kebijakan pengembangan angkutan massal berbasis BRT telah memberikan dampak positif berupa mengurangi kemacetan dan tertatanya sistem transportasi perkotaan. Namun harus implementasi kebijakan ini masih menyisahkan masalah. Implementasi kebijakan ini cenderung berorientasi predict and provide dalam kerangka mengatasi kemacetan dan kesemrawutan lalu lintas di perkotaan, dan cenderung mengabaikan rasa keadilan pengguna sarana transportasi dan stakeholder pembangunan lainnya yang ikut berkontribusi dalam kegiatan transportasi publik. Implementasi kebijakan ini belum berjalan optimal dan masih memiliki keterbatasan-keterbatasan, baik dari sisi perencanaan, penentuan tarif dan sistem pembayaran, operasional, dan pengawasan kebijakan. Kata kunci: implementasi kebijakan, angkutan umum massal, transportasi publik. Abstract The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation of the policy of developing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)-based mass public transportation in realizing a just and sustainable urban public transportation system in DKI Jakarta Province. This research uses qualitative methods with data collection techniques such as observation, in-depth interviews and literature study. Research data analysis was performed using triangulation techniques. The results of the study found that the implementation of the BRT-based mass transit development policy had a positive impact in the form of reducing congestion and the orderliness of the urban transportation system. However, the implementation of this policy must still be a problem. The implementation of this policy tends to be predictive and provide oriented in the framework of overcoming traffic congestion and traffic chaos in urban areas, and tends to ignore the sense of fairness of transportation facility users and other development stakeholders who contribute to public transportation activities. The implementation of this policy has not run optimally and still has limitations, both in terms of planning, determining rates and payment systems, operational, and policy supervision. Keywords: policy implementation, mass public transportation, public transportation.
