Study of Integration of Greater Bandung BRT Service in Bandung City

Abstract

The Trans Metro Pasundan (BRT) requires a comprehensive review for network integration with existing modes like angkot, Damri Bus, Trans Metro Bandung (TMB), and commuter trains (KRD). This study aims to employ a GIS model to assess BRT integration in Bandung City through spatial and trip analysis. Key network integration indicators include: (1) overlap level; (2) area coverage within catchment areas; (3) the number of transfers between corridors; and (4) route availability. Analysis shows that the unclear intermodal hierarchy has caused high overlap level and low coverage areas. Low intermodal connectivity also leads to high number of transfers. These issues do not meet the concept of equity set out in the regulations. BRT overlap exceeds 60% with angkot and 90% with Damri, failing to enhance coverage in certain areas, particularly four eastward sub-districts, with catchment ratios of just 13% - 27%. Utilizing ArcGIS, 26 out of 900 trips between sub-districts, originating at BRT stops, require more than the regulation’s designated two corridor transfers. Route availability is measured by the walking distance needed to access a stop between routes, which remains below the 500-meter regulatory limit.
