Abstract:
Recent literature has extensively discussed about the bad impression of
people towards public transportation system. Researcher concern about the
increasing number of private transport on the road, this issued give bad
impact to the development of the country, environment, economic and social
activity, furthermore it could be worse over the next few years if there is no
action taken from the responsible parties.
This research considered the needs of improvement in current public
transportation system in development of sustainable city in future, while the
improvement may increase transit ridership in public transportation.
Furthermore, over the long term, such systems may reduce the need to
construct additional highway infrastructure or may induce additional demand
from private sector.
The effects of social and technology plays an important role in
transportation system. It would give either negative or positive impact to the
human society. The negative side could be the increasing of travel demand
from private sector, people prefer to use private transport to drive and use
some of technologies they have which is use their vehicle navigation
systems. Besides that, the effects of social and technology would give a
positive impact when government or responsible parties take advantages.
Nowadays we live in up to date life and it rapidly up to date, with it
government must to up to date too, in order to adapt the changes. Human
always need to move everyday to do their social activity. Without proper
infrastructure and facilities in public transportation system, people tend to
use private transport in order to move.
Here, one of the latest trends for modernized country in transportation
sector is develop or improve their current public transportation system to be
well organized. The installation of Traveller Information System (TIS) helps
to improve both supply and demand curves for travel by using public
transport. TIS provide and deliver the useful information such as an actual time for traveler, route information, appropriate of speed limits, weather
condition and others. With TIS, people are more comfortable and feel more
safety to use public transport. In addition, TIS make people more flexible to
plan and start their journey. The efficiency of TIS would help to increase
transit ridership and reducing the number of private transport on road.
