Abstract

Abstract Transportation plays a crucial role in fulfilling people’s need to conduct their activities. Cities established transportation systems to serve the needs of people to travel. Technological advancements have led to the emergence of app-based transportation. App-based transportation has emerged as an alternative to public transportation and personal vehicles. The advantages of app-based transportation, such as flexibility, 24-hour services, swift mobility, and convenience, have influenced citizens’ travel behavior. App-based transportation has been available in Banda Aceh since 2017. This research aims to study the movement pattern of app-based transportation in Banda Aceh. The data on the origin and destination of app-based transportation users were collected from 100 drivers using the accidental sampling method. This research utilized GIS software to analyze the movement pattern. The study shows that based on land use, the app-based transportation origin and destination occurred mostly in settlement areas. The highest trip generation occurred in the education center area, followed by the main city center. A polycentric pattern, with the education center as the main origin and destination point, characterizes the movement patterns of app-based transportation in Banda Aceh. It indicates that the main users of app-based transportation are students living around the education center.
