As for transportation is also an essential part of any business activity which has been pointed as one of the major reasons for environmental and social problems (Kassens, 2009). The concerns of transportation that could help economic growth but keep concerns with environment and social problem, later called sustainability transportation. <br /> <br /> Indonesian government have put transportation development as priority, it is explained in strategic planning for 2015-2019 of Indonesian Ministry of Transportation. The initial movement of this transport sector concerns is the pilot project of Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) Area, High Speed Train that is linking Jakarta and Bandung, and Light Rail Transit (LRT) in Bandung and Palembang. <br /> <br /> This paper focused on analyzing passenger service design and operational mechanism in Bandung Station which will be applied in LRT station. As the main station of rail-based transportation in Bandung, Bandung station estimated encounter passenger increase caused by intermodal passenger transport transfer to LRT such as, Angkutan Kota, bus, online transportation, high-speed train, and own private vehicle. This estimation passenger then simulated in three scenarios, to measured wait time and waiting line. The combination of scenario would be the research recommendation.
