“…Target respondents were commuters, commercial visitors, employees and students within the proposed bus reform policy so-called “Trans Koetaradja” (hereafter “TK”). The TK is a new technology and bus system with a capacity of 60 passengers equipped with an air conditioner, providing more comfort to the passengers [6] , [7] , [8] . TK reforms required to achieve efficiency and sufficiency of the city bus system.…”

This paper presents a comprehensive dataset of how public perceptions and its statistical implication on the behavioral adaptation toward the acceptability of bus reform scheme proposed by the government of Aceh, Indonesia. Studies indicate that public response to such a proposed policy is significantly related to the effectiveness of its implementation. Given the absence of studies from the developing countries context, a stated preference (SP) questionnaire is developed to investigate the public's consciousness concerning bus reform acceptance. A paper-pencil based questionnaire survey performed by direct interview was conducted in late 2017 and early 2018. The questionnaires were distributed with a total of 450 questionnaires valid. The most pertinent inquiries in our questionnaires were designated to attain (i) attitudinal indicators toward the acceptance of bus reform policy, (ii) attitudinal indicators related to perceived appropriateness of the policy, (iii) perceived awareness of problem private-mode in society, (iv) private-mode dependency, (v) inhibition of freedom of movements and (vi) correct and acceptable policy. We implemented a 4-point Likert scale such as 1 to 4 (strongly disagree to strongly agreed) in order to style the questionnaire easy to answer. A valid dataset was analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) for revealing how public perception has statistically significant explained the perceived effectiveness of the proposed bus reform policy.

“…This further leads to several externalities including unwarranted travel times, air pollution, unnecessary energy consumption, and frustration while driving in Jakarta (capital of Indonesia) [1][2][3]. These are found to be prevalent in Banda Aceh city [4,5], the provincial capital of Aceh in Indonesia due to the unexpected growth of car and motorcycle usage as well as the significant trip generated by motorcyclists [6]. Therefore, the need for the government to act intentionally towards overcoming motorization-related problems.…”

Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) is a common approach usually applied in examining public satisfaction and has been adopted in the transportation sector to measure the quality of service provided by the public transport system. This study, therefore, investigated the relative important service quality attributes of bus systems among both public and private modes of transportation users in Banda Aceh in Indonesia. An urban bus system known as the “Trans Koetardja” was used as a case study and a questionnaire designed based on preference survey was applied. A total of 200 samples comprising of 100 bus users and 100 private mode users including cars and motorcycles were used for the preliminary study. Moreover, the IPA approach was used to evaluate the Trans Koetaradja service quality attributes based on importance and performance classification. The quadrant grid plot showed the need for the operators to allocate their resources towards improving their services by considering (a) an improvement in bus stop facilities, (b) enhancement in the route and accurate timetable, and (c) shortening bus travel time and waiting time in the bus stop.

“…Traffic congestion has become a serious hindrance to economic development in several Indonesian urbanized cities including Banda Aceh which is the capital of Aceh Province in the western part of the country. This was reported to be due to rapid urbanization and high dependence on private modes of transportation through cars and motorcycles (Saleh et al, 2017). The uncontrolled increase in personal mobility has, therefore, led to unmaintainable externalities and also significantly influencing the quality of life within the city due to several factors such as the escalation of travel time, additional fuel consumption, and deterioration of the city environment, especially noise and emission level.…”

The Bus Reform policy known as Trans Koetardja was adopted and implemented in Banda Aceh of Indonesia in early 2018 to promote bus ridership and to specifically mitigate the dependency on private means of transportation. This system is presently being run as a trial and free of service charge through the subsidy provided by the government of Aceh with the amount being spent projected to escalate by the year 2020 due to expansion in the number of bus lines. There is, however, the plan to introduce bus fare to ease the burden of subsidies on the government but most of those engaged in the ridership are generally students and people from low-income households. Therefore, there is the need to determine an appropriate charge or tariff based on the household's ability to pay (ATP), especially with the focus on the need for low-income people to sustain the subsidy for their daily travel. This study was conducted to determine the ability to pay (ATP) for bus users through the use of travel cost budget (TCB) which is defined as the maximum money allocated by a household for transportation within a month as a constraint. The TCB was classified based on income classes into low-income and medium-high income to ensure simplicity. The research was conducted in 2019 by collecting 450 samples from three Trans Koetardja lines using reveal preference (RP) survey after which Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method was adopted to identify the factors significantly contributing to TCB based on the income classes. Moreover, the ATP for each income class was also determined using the household budget method. The empirical results from the OLS showed the TCB usually allocated by medium-high income households is slightly different from those with low-income as observed with 0.306 million IDR/ month (20.85 USD/month) and 0.208 million IDR/month (14.17 USD/ Month) while the predicted ATP was 7,397 IDR/trip (0.5 USD/trips) and 2,259 IDR/trip (0.15 USD/trips), respectively. It is, however, important to note that 1 USD = 14,677.73 IDR. Furthermore, the factors observed to be influencing the variation in TCB include age, monthly income, gender, and the number of private cars or motorcycles owned within the household.
