Description
Summary:Recently in Indonesia, many emerging problem due to poor transport services, traffic jams everywhere, especially in big cities like Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan and even in cities like Malang, Yogyakarta and Surakarta. This problem is mainly due to too large number of vehicles that pass through the existing road thatare largely private vehicles. The number of private cars as the main mode of transportation cannot be separated due to poor public transport services, resulting in road users trying to find solutions for themselves by trying to have a private car as a mode of daily transportation. By improving public transport services, it is expected that it will be able to increase the volume of users of public transport and could even attract private vehicle users to use public transportation. One way to improve public transport service is to provide information about the mode, route, schedule and estimated cost and time required for a journey. This information will make it easy for users to design and specify a journey. By implementing this, it is expected to save time and costs.In addition,using this information is also expected to save operating costs for service providers of public transport by reducing the amount of labor and the cost of providing the information paper. This information system will provide an alternative mode, route, schedule and cost estimates along with travel time that will be taken into consideration for the user to plan a trip. This system also includes guidance information for the user to travel from place of origin to destination. Thus, the journey undertaken will be more definite in accordance with the plan.
