Measuring the perceived need for motorcycle-based ride-hailing services on trip characteristics among university students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Investigating influencing factors for ICT adoption that changes travel behavior in response to the COVID-19 outbreak in Indonesia

“…Only Jakarta, which is the nation’s capital and economic center, has Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system and extensive rail network (Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and commuter rail) serving the Jakarta Metropolitan Areas (JMA) 1 . Moreover, similar with other cities worldwide, ride-sourcing has also been on the rise in Indonesia since 2015 and is currently available in more than 150 cities ( Irawan et al, 2021 ; Rizki et al, 2020). Ride-sourcing apps have been expanding to facilitate not only passenger transport but also online shopping and delivery ( Irawan and Belgiawan, 2022 , Joewono et al, 2020 ), which are particularly popular during the COVID-19 outbreak.…”

Legitimacy building of digital platforms in the informal economy: evidence from Indonesia

However, some studies referred to the phenomenon as a grey area because neither the players follow formal procedures nor precise regulation (Kelikume, 2021; Thai and Turkina, 2014).…”

“…However, some studies referred to the phenomenon as a grey area because neither the players follow formal procedures nor precise regulation (Kelikume, 2021; Thai and Turkina, 2014). Moreover, numerous start-ups have been rising to transform informality using technology innovation (Irawan et al , 2021; Tracey and Phillips, 2011; Wong et al , 2020). Here, IE is no longer a product; instead, it is an antecedent that platforms see as an opportunity to nurture an unregulated market.…”

Do cycling facilities matter during the COVID-19 outbreak? A stated preference survey of willingness to adopt bicycles in an Indonesian context

“…Yogyakarta has a persistent issue with traffic congestion since private motorized vehicles, especially motorbikes, dominate the traffic ( Ramlan et al, 2021 ). Additionally, people living in this city highly depend on motorbike-based ride-hailing ( Irawan et al, 2021a ). Although the government has provided a bus transit system and continuously improved the services, the bus demand was low ( Irawan et al, 2021b ).…”
