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.

Mobility Solution

Bus rapid transit (BRT) is one of the strategies to promote improvements in urban mobility. In this study, BRT scenarios, which integrate exclusive bus lanes and bus priority signal control in mixed traffic scenarios, were modelled using a VISSIM microsimulation. Three scenarios of BRT were modelled to represent 16:84, 38:62 and 54:46 modal splits between public transport and private vehicles. It was found that Scenario 4 (the 54:46 scenario) offers better benefits in terms of delay time saving and economic benefits. In general, it was found that the BRT system enhances the functioning of the transport system and provides people with faster and better mobility facilities, resulting in attractive social and economic benefits, especially on a higher modal split of public transport. It is regarded as one strategy to alleviate traffic congestion and reduce dependency on private vehicles. The finding of this study provides an insight on the effective concept of the BRT system, which may promote the dissemination of an urban mobility solution in the city. The results can help policymakers and local authorities in the management of a transport network in order to ensure reliable and sustainable transport.

This paper seeks to understand participation in out-of-home activities by inhabitants in Dar es Salaam, and their perceptions toward informal public transport (IPT) and bus rapid transit (BRT) in supporting these activities. Without fixed schedules, IPT (e.g., minibuses, motorcycles, and tricycles) is used as a means of transport for different trips. However, IPT is burdened by poor roads, traffic congestion, and high transport demand. Many developing cities are seeking to replace IPT with formal BRT lines. However, little is known in relation to the ability of IPT and BRT to support out-of-home activity participation of the inhabitants. This paper reports on a study in Dar es Salaam exploring the relative contribution of each type of service. The study took place before the opening of BRT, and encompasses focus group discussions, participatory geographical information systems, and questionnaires carried out in two study zones: one close to a BRT corridor and the other in a peri-urban location. The findings show that IPT was used to support participation in daily activities like work, education, shopping, and social matters; and was perceived to be flexible in providing access to both high and low density unplanned settlements. The BRT was viewed to benefit specific groups of people, especially individuals working in permanent offices in and around the city center, particularly professional workers. This paper sheds light on how the two systems were perceived by the local people and can inform policy makers about possible improvements in public transport systems to support activity participation of their inhabitants.

As the city growing bigger in line with population, urban economics will be alongside daily transportation. The high number of daily transportation need to be accommodated with urban public transport services. In 2011, Bandar Lampung City Government provide Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) as a mass public transportation service in Bandar Lampung City. But, after about 9 (nine) years, the number of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route services is drop. The sustainability is questioned due to the number of passengers and operating routes continuously down, starting from 7 (seven), to 3 (three) then today is only 1 (one) left. But the city without public transportation service certainly become a bad precedent. Rajabasa Route-Panjang is the only Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service exist. The vehicle operating costs calculation shows about IDR 648,101,870 / year, IDR 1,874,252 / day, IDR 312,375 / trip, IDR 8,255 / km, IDR 156,188 / hour and IDR 3, IDR 124 / seat needs to be provided by the regulator/government to ensure the service.

Simulation Results

Public transportation plays an important role in meeting people's needs for traveling. In a big city like DKI Jakarta, public transportation plays an important role in supporting the daily activities of its people. Transjakarta is one of the mass public transportation (bus rapid transit) provided by the local government for the community. One of the corridors that have the highest number of passengers is corridor 1 which serves the Blok M - Kota route. The problem that occurs is the irregularity in the scheduling system and the operation of the buses which are considered to be less than optimal, as a result, many buses are idle or buses travel but only carry a few passengers, especially during peak hours on weekdays. To solve this problem, it is necessary to conduct research that regulates the scheduling of bus arrivals at peak hours to serve a large number of passengers. The method used in this research is a simulation by determining the headway timing and determining the number of buses to operate as optimally as possible. The proposed simulation is made of 3 new scenarios and 1 proposed scenario for real-time conditions. Based on the simulation results, the determination of the headway time of 9 minutes between arrivals and 13 buses used during rush hour, from the previous one with a headway time of 4 minutes between arrivals, but the buses used are 30 buses during peak hours. This proposal given is to save bus usage and maximize the utility of the bus.

Abstract. Population explosion in the city of Johor Bahru has led to traffic congestions, which hitherto to that there were better movements and flow of vehicles in and around the city. Road transportation in particular has played a gargantuan role in creating and maintaining easy and quick access to various destinations. Increases in the number of vehicle indicate a higher economic prosperity that contributes to traffic congestion within the city. This can be seen in a number of developments such as increased population density and creation of alternative routes over several years, which has still not totally eradicated the traffic congestion problems of the city. Ideally, a good public transport service would carry the passenger directly from their origin to their destination without having to face traffic congestion. The buses may not be available and accessible from certain origins or destinations of residents or they may need to walk some distances from their residents to the bus stops resulting into discouragement for most of the people using public transport services. This paper aims to utilise geospatial analysis approach to suggest effective bus routing that would be able to increase connectivity to rural areas and boost commercial activities through better transportation. Route selection is the process of finding locations that meet the selection criteria for each parameter using Geographic Information System (GIS). The process employs applied multi-criteria decision analysis and network analysis to generate thpsye highest score areas for bus rapid transit (BRT) route by maximising network and mobility and ensuring the newly suggested routes are connected to the existing networks of BRT to serve the community.
