| Abstract | In order to improve public bus services, it is important to
evaluate the performance of bus services in Jakarta. Deficiency of
bus services and user characteristics are the most important
indicators for evaluating the quality of performance of bus
services.
This study attempted to examine the existing bus operations
and their services such as travel time and travel speed, delays,
average headway, waiting time of passenger, dwell time, passenger
boarding & alighting , and layover time. Beside, bus users
characteristics were also investigated. In Jakarta there are four
major types of buses currently being provided their services, but
due to the limited budget and time only a single route was selected
to represent each bus service namely Route No. 70, No. BT-01,
No.10, and No.S-604 , represented the double decker, articulated ,
regular, and medium buses services, respectively.
Bus -operation analyses showed that bus bunching phenomenon
occurred for all bus services, which implied the irregularity in
headways even at the bus stops and terminals. Lack of control and
proper bus scheduling regarding bus hourly frequencies at all
terminals caused uncertainty in passenger waiting time. It was
also found that dwell time on weekdays were shorter than weekend
for bus route No. 10 and S-604 at all periods. These are unusual
trend. Meanwhile the 0 minute of layover time at terminals were
found for all routes, meaning that no resting time for bus crews
which will have impact to safety aspects due to fatigue and tired
of bus crews.
Bus users characteristics showed that all passengers of bus
services were dominate by males. Majority of passengers have low
income. Most of the Jakarta commuters did not complain about bus
fare and waiting time. However they rated the bus services to be
poor and fair. Almost all bus passengers agreed that the bus lane
and restricted area significantly reduce the travel time and should
be implemented on many other roads in Jakarta. |
