The emergence of app-based ride-hailing platforms such as motorbike taxi (online ojek) services, has changed the commuters' behaviour and mobility pattern in Jakarta. The highly-anticipated Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit (Jakarta MRT), which was launched and operated in early 2019, has gained popularity among the commuters. The average number of MRT passengers that surpassed 82.000 person-day influences the increasing demand for transit exchange mode in certain stations. The integration of MRT, Trans Jakarta and Commuter Line does not impede the need for ride-hailing service, especially for destinations that are not yet covered by any means of proper public transportation. Urban space intervention has emerged in the form of informal transit points, which have been used by the ride-hailing drivers for collecting passengers and bidding orders. These points occupy very significant parts of the streets, thus recurrently generate problems to the traffic and pedestrian accessibility around the station gates. Responding to those issues, PT. MRT Jakarta has developed a plan to locate formal transit points for ride-hailing activities near every station. The research aims to assess the quality of pedestrian linkages between MRT stations and the ride-hailing transit points. The research was conducted by mapping both t existing and the proposed transit points around nine MRT Stations in Jakarta. All locations were assessed using a set of walkability index parameters, which was developed by the Asian Development Bank and Clean Air Initiative Asia. The result defines the walkability rating of each proposed transit point, which then would be followed by design recommendations based on the parameters used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
