Abstract

For the past few years, the private car has seemed to be the ideal tool for inner city travel. However, with the rapid population growth and urban development issues, a metropolis city like Jakarta is not capable to provide sufficient space for everyone's car. Corresponding to this, Public Transit has become the most efficient means for a mass transportation and plays an essential role as a tool upon sustainable city development. Jakarta has now several public transportation modes to offer, ranging from micro-level to macro-level transportation modes, to provide its daily commuter coming both from the city and peripheral area of Jakarta. Having several transportation modes also means a necessity to have good connectivity between modes, as it would create more travel possibilities and reach area coverage. In this case, transit area of a station/stops has always been a critical point that links variety modes of transportation to ease commuter's transfer between modes.
