A sustainable transportation: a literature study on park and ride in the Bandung metropolitan area

Abstract

Traffic congestion has been a major transportation problem in developing countries as private vehicles ownership has been increased dramatically each year. To solve this problem, local authorities need to construct new roads as well as parking infrastructure to meet consumer demand. Park and Ride can be regarded as a transportation management concept that can solve this demand. Park and Ride refers to a transportation management concept where travelers transit from a private transportation (i.e. motorcycle, car, bicycle, and other private transportation modes) to a public transportation system (i.e. bus, tram, heavy railway, mass rapid transport, and so forth). Park and Ride is believed to reduce private transportation in the metropolitan area of a city. In addition, Park and Ride should be located near a public transportation station in the suburban area. Hence, travelers can easily transit from their private vehicles in the suburban area to commute to urban area by using the public transportation system. This research will focus on the study of Park and Ride development in Bandung Metropolitan Area, Indonesia. Park and Ride, as explained earlier, may offer a solution to a sustainable transportation in Bandung Metropolitan Area.

Incentivised Travel and Mobile Application as Multiple Policy Intervention for Mode Shift

“…A questionnaire is designed to investigate public acceptance and preference from two initiatives that were considered salient to evaluate the reasons for travellers to shift from one mode of transport (private vehicle) to another mode of transport (public transport). The aim is to analyse participants' evaluation of multi-attributed services and/or products when there are hypothetical choice alternatives and new attributes (Anwar and Yang, 2017). Besides that, the questionnaire aims to understand the attributes which influence or encourage respondents to shift from their daily private vehicle to public transport.…”

Study of Park and Ride Facilities in Cikarang

“…Indonesia has transportation problems (congestion) especially in metropolitan cities, such as Bandung, Jakarta, and Surabaya (Annisa et al, 2019). The mobility of residents from the satellite city area around the Central Business District (CBD) is one of the factors causing congestion (Sembiring, 2015).…”

“…The Government of DKI Jakarta has been working with the Bodetabek satellite city government to build Park and Ride (P&R) facilities. P&R aims to allow travelers to move from private vehicles (motorcycles, cars, bicycles, and other private transportation) to public vehicle (buses, trains, and other rapid mass transportation) originating from the satellite city to the CBD (Annisa et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2020;Nusraningrum & Isibhi, 2013).…”
