Recent Transition in Transportation Environment in Jakarta Metropolitan Area Over Years

Abstract

The Jakarta metropolitan area of Indonesia with more than 24 million populations is the capital region of one of the emerging countries. Along with economic development, the number of motorized trips, especially, use of motorcycles has been rapidly increasing. Two surveys that were conducted in 2002 and 2010, Household Travel Survey (HTS) and Commuter Travel Survey (CTS), revealed significant alteration in, for example, transportation pattern, income, mode share, mode choice, and so on in Jakarta metropolitan area. Number of population as well as number of registered vehicle is increasing. Existence of BRT also indicated changes in mode choice before and after the introduction of the BRT system in 2004. The characteristics of these preferences were also identified.
