Conceptual Model for Increasing Services and Users of Mass Public Transportation in Jakarta.

Abstract

The transportation demand in urban areas is driven by high mobility needs. However, in urban areas such as Jakarta, people propensity to use private transportation rather than public transportation even though modern public transportation is available. Consequently, the continued increase in the modal share of private vehicles was a matter of concern in the context of public transport services and the number of users. This paper wants to address this concern holistically by using the system dynamics approach. System dynamics is being used to developing a conceptual model of the dynamic complexity in Jakarta's transportation sector. By capturing the elements involved in the transportation system, this study also aims to capture key factors that may play significant roles in increasing services and the number of users. Such a holistic view could provide insights for possible effective measures that the government can take. The system diagram revealed the system's key components and stakeholders that involved in the transportation system in Jakarta. The Improvement of accessibility facilities and travel restrictions for private transport users is key points that need to be addressed properly to develop policy.
