Sustainable transport is the most issue developed by Indonesian government to improve the transportation aspect <br /> <br /> including huge infrastructure development throughout the major cities in Indonesia. Current government brings this <br /> <br /> issue to the development of transportation structure including infrastructure, technology advancement and renewable <br /> <br /> energy for some major cities in Indonesia, especially Bandung. Bandung population itself for 2015 reached the <br /> <br /> number of 2.481.469 people that is increased up to 45,845 people from survey result in 2011.One of the sustainable <br /> <br /> transport programs is Bandung Metro Capsule which expected to reduce the traffic congestion level currently <br /> <br /> appeared in Bandung, the province capital of West Java. This is a breakthrough for development of sustainable <br /> <br /> transport which more efficient, use renewable resources for operational and effective regarding the project goals. <br /> <br /> Bandung Metro Capsule expected to be a back-bone transport which integrated with the other modes. The research <br /> <br /> goes with conducting a market survey regarding the passenger preference of their daily transport and decision to use <br /> <br /> Metro Capsule. The survey was filled by 300 respondents through online form and onsite method around the <br /> <br /> selected station area that proposed to be route of Metro Capsule. The route will covering the areas starts from <br /> <br /> Bandung Alun-Alun into Pasar Baru, Tegalega and Bandung Station. Data analysis is done by use a group <br /> <br /> comparison and two-way ANOVA to show out is there any differences between groups mean and relationship <br /> <br /> between those variables according to passenger desire to use Bandung Metro Capsule. Firstly, through the <br /> <br /> descriptive statistics for describe the respondent profile and their preference regarding the object of research. <br /> <br /> Secondly, use correlation test to justify and validate the proposed six station by SAPPK-ITB. Third, use General <br /> <br /> Linear Model to describe the relationship between passenger profile to decision to use Metro Capsule. The last is, <br /> <br /> use grouping comparison through one-way ANOVA looking for the significant difference or effect between <br /> <br /> passenger profile and passenger preference criteria. The result of analysis could be useful for recommendation about <br /> <br /> concept of commercialization area and justification for the tariff, stations point and facility at Bandung Metro <br /> <br /> Capsule.

Then, all passengers <br /> <br /> also needs comfort as the most preference criteria, followed by safety and exclusivity then the stakeholder or Metro <br /> <br /> Capsule should consider these criteria because influenced their decision to use Metro Capsule. The business area for <br /> <br /> passenger with middle-low income in each station suitable for small store or small cafe, hanging-out place and wifi <br /> <br /> area which more less expensive. The station of Pasar Baru and Kebonjati should consider to propose a middle-high <br /> <br /> level of business regarding the passenger who made activities had higher income than other categories. The <br /> <br /> examples such as supermarket, working space, café, food franchise store, souvenir shop and etc. These business <br /> <br /> types have to consider the surrounding zone around the station whether its school, store complex, mall, hospital, <br /> <br /> market, public parks or tourism spot. The preferences study of Bandung passenger could be an additional reference <br /> <br /> for public transportation literature in Indonesia and being useful will to be a recommendation for government and <br /> <br /> other stakeholder to make further and more complex research about it.
