Abstract

Currently, Trans Jogja Bus has replaced the other transportation vehicles existing since 2008. There are 129 units of Trans Jogja Buses operating and serving 17 routes. In its development, the operation of Trans Jogja Bus experienced obstacles, namely the number of sections and crossroads traffic congestion and the mix of various types of vehicles in one lane. It resulted in the poor performance of Trans Jogja buses in service timeliness, load factor, and impact on the value of the government subsidies for the operation of the Trans Jogja Bus. The widening of the road and the construction of new roads that function specifically as the Trans Jogja Busway are very difficult to build in the city of Yogyakarta due to the limited availability of land for road widening. This condition requires quick responses in terms of making a study of the application of Trans Jogja Bus priority path. Based on the results of the study, the determination of the Bus Lane path was carried out by considering the road width of more than (>) 9 meter, if the road width is less than (<) 9 meter, the assessment was carried out by looking at the V/C Ratio close to 1 and handling road widening. The application of Bus Lane in accommodating Trans Jogja Buses is done in two stages, namely; the first stage is by removing the median, eliminating on street parking, and the width of the sidewalk on the specified road segment. The Bus Lane application in the second stage was emphasized on the roads that have a one-way traffic flow and the implementation of the Contra Flow Bus Lane system.
