Response to changes of public transport fares on travel mode and parking area choices in Cimahi commercial area

Abstract

Parking is an absolute part of a journey, especially if one uses a private vehicle. Studies on parking have been conducted since the 1970s as part of the literature on individual travel, which is developing quite rapidly and is becoming increasingly important in urban planning; it is directly related to the availability of land used for parking. Public parking lots are found in the downtown area (CBD) and the commercial area. One example of cities that experience lack of available off-street parking lots in the city center is the Cimahi. Consequently, it gives rise to congestion and increased use of private vehicles that are increasingly high; with the number of vehicles being 312,033 units, around 80% were motorcycles. Based on the results of the calculation of several models, the response chosen was the response of switching to public transportation, having a Nagelkerke R Square value of 41.1%, with seven variables having a significant partial effect. Furthermore, after calculating using a probability analysis of public transport users with tariff options on stated preference responses with the lowest tariff of Rp2,000 will result in 55.65% of the opportunity to switch modes from private vehicles to public transportation.
