Abstract

Road traffic accidents in Indonesia could generate an economic loss up to 3.1% GDP. It is considerably related to annual motor vehicles growth rate of private ones. Therefore, it must be controlled and private motor vehicle users could be shifted to reliable and affordable public transport services like Trans Padang. It is a Bus Rapid Transit system managed by Padang city. In order to develop a new line for Trans Padang service according to the traveller characteristics and trip behaviours, a series of Revealed Preference surveys were employed to collect those data. It was found 72% of the trip makers conduct their journeys by mode of motorcycles. Commuting trips are 53% and 20.8% for working and school purposes. About 70% of the trip was undertaken with a maximum travel time of 20 minutes. The traveller spends about an average Rp.5360 for one journey. Travel time was found as the most important factor in selecting a transport mode. Trans Padang would be chosen due to its safety and convenience factors. The minimum demand of Trans Padang is expected to be about 17%. However, Trans Padang service must be supported by law enforcement as well as by combining the public transport and parking schemes.
