The Surabaya City Government's efforts in overcoming congestion and pollution of plastic waste is through the provision of Bus Rapid Transit services called Suroboyo Bus. In addition to functioning so that people want to move using public transportation, Suroboyo Bus also aims to overcome plastic waste pollution through a payment policy that uses plastic waste for service users. However, payments using plastic waste are considered not worth the costs required to operate the Suroboyo Bus. So, it is very necessary to know the sustainability of integration of public transport services with a policy of payment using plastic waste on Suroboyo Bus. In this study, the quantitative analysis method will be used. Based on the results of this study, the two Suroboyo Bus corridors suffered losses because the large revenue from the sale of plastic waste was lower than the cost of providing Suroboyo Bus public transportation. The contribution of plastic waste to vehicle operating expenses is only 1.4% for the North-South Corridor and 0.16% for the West-East Corridor. This resulted in the subsidies that the government needed to be able to integrate public transport services with a policy of paying for using plastic waste amounting to Rp16,924,482,780.32 for the North-South Corridor and Rp.4,880,759,834.00 for the West-East Corridor. In addition, based on load factor calculations that have been done, Suroboyo Bus has not reached the ideal standard load factor. This means that Suroboyo Bus enthusiasts are not yet high enough, so the government needs to optimize Suroboyo Bus subsidies through adjusting the operating pattern because financially disadvantaged conditions are accompanied by those who are not yet high enough.
