Study of Paratransit Transport Tragel Model as a Feeder in Tamalanrea District, Makassar City

Abstract

Transportation has an important role in people's lives, where the rate of population growth is getting higher, which results in an increase in people's need for transportation. This can increase the use of public transport transportation; this problem is closely related to the traffic flow network, especially in the city of Makassar in the Tamalanrea sub-district. The application of the feeder transport line in the city of Makassar is one form of solution to the problems that occur in the city of Makassar, namely the traffic flow network. Based on the results of the planning of the Feeder Transport Route Model, the route that has been researched can be a solution to reduce congestion on the main road, where public transportation types Metromini can be diverted to local routes with planned routes and road types, which can meet the type of public transport Metromini. For public perception, it is more dominant to agree if the feeder system is implemented in Makassar. The purpose of this study was to determine the performance of feeder transport if applied in the city of Makassar. It can be seen from the number of conflicts that have occurred due to the increasing number of public transport vehicles on the main roads of the city of Makassar.
