Bus terminal planning with the TOD approach for Jakarta, case study Kampung Rambutan bus terminal

Abstract

Travel convenience needs to be supported by the existence of cheap, fast and comfortable public transportation. Jakarta as a Metropolitan City pays close attention to this and plans to improve all existing bus terminals and make them well and planned connected to all existing transportation networks. The transportation network integration system with community facility centers is known as “Transit Oriented Development” or TOD. One of the bus terminals included in this program is the Kampung Rambutan Bus Terminal, which is deemed unsuitable for use. The irregularity of the flow of passengers, the flow of private vehicles gives the impression of chaos and slum in this bus terminal. The position of this bus terminal is considered very strategic and important, because this bus terminal is a transit for passengers near and far. In principle, the TOD approach is a technique of connecting the transportation mode from the station or terminal to the surrounding buildings or areas. For example, commercial areas, offices and residences, are also connected via outdoor and indoor pedestrian paths that are open to the public and direct through to stations or terminals available in the area. Smooth travel and good network connectivity, this will also support the terminal environment maintenance issues. These two approach topics will be the theme of the new Kampung Rambutan bus terminal design.
