Identifying users’ needs for cycle-transit facilities in MRT Jakarta

Abstract

Cycle-transit is a multimodal alternative for motorized transportation. Cycle-transit provides a number of environmental and societal benefits that contribute to the SDG 11, which calls for cities and human settlements to be inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. One of the modes of transportation in Indonesia that already supports cycle-transit activities is the MRT Jakarta. The cycle-transit facilities include bike on board, bike parking, bike lane, and bike sharing. MRT Jakarta continues to develop cycle-transit facilities, aiming to shift the travel behavior of Jakarta citizens. MRT Jakarta improvement is financed with public money, so the community should perceive the benefits as much as possible. It is necessary to know the users’ needs for cycle-transit facilities in MRT Jakarta. This article is a part of ongoing research to formulate recommendations for improving cycle-transit facilities in MRT Jakarta. This paper analyzed the improvement priority of four types of cycle-transit facilities at MRT Jakarta based on users’ needs using AHP. The analysis shows that the users need the addition of bike on board access and some improvements on its supporting infrastructure. These findings will be valuable to PT MRT Jakarta and DKI Jakarta Provincial Government as decision-makers to develop cycle-transit facilities in the future. This paper is also followed by formulating recommendations for improving cycle-transit facilities in MRT Jakarta.
