| Summary: | The rail services between Yogyakarta and Magelang was clossed in 1976. This paper is aimed to provide some alternative routes between Yogyakarta-Magelang using MCA (Multi Criteria Analysis). MCA’s key feature is its ability to offers a number of ways of aggregating the data on individual criteria to provide indicators of the overall performance's options. Three alternative routes were decided based on their specific goals. The first route: crossing along the old track; the second route: connecting busy areas between Yogyakarta – Magelang, and the last route: heading straight to Borobudur Temple. Each route was analyzed by MCA method and compared each other by scoring and weighting. For quantitative criteria (construction cost, operational cost, land acquisition, and railway length) scoring and weighting were given based on calculation using Autocad Civil 3D or simple Microsoft Excel, and for qualitative criteria (demand, accessibility, landscape, social effect, and others), scoring and weighting were given based on scale 1 – 5. The results show that the third route has the lowest cost, but quiet weak in qualitative criteria. Then, the chosen route is the second route, with the best qualitative assessment and also cheap in quantitative assesment.
