Abstract

Trans Padang Bus is a Bus Rapid Transit in Padang which has operated 15 buses for one corridor along 39 km. The bus is a medium type which has 20 passenger seats capacity and 20 passenger standing capacity. Nowadays, the number of passengers Trans Padang Bus exceeds the passenger capacity causing the load factor of Trans Padang Bus can reach 170%. The load factor is one of the parameters that determine the performance of Trans Padang Bus is still not good. Improving performance of public transport operations can be done by redesigning operational scheduling by using simulation modelling. Based on the results of the research, the result of Trans Padang Bus scheduling design is more optimum than the previous schedule that determined by the load factor that is 107.5%. In the scheduling design, the number of Trans Padang Buses are 18 units, the number of trips are 5 trips and the inter departure time of the bus are 5 and 10 minutes.
