Increasing population, the development of information technology and communication triggers an increase in community economic activity. This economic increase directly affects the transportation sector which is a derivative need of an economic activity (derived demand). Transportation needs grow rapidly, while the growth rate in the provision of transportation facilities is so low that it cannot keep up. The imbalance between available public infrastructure and the number of people who need it causes a lack of city services including the transportation sector. This condition causes the high number of private vehicles that are not balanced with the availability of roads, so the problem of traffic congestion is getting worse. The great mobility needs in the Greater Bandung Metropolitan area need to be prepared or facilitated with ideal and efficient connectivity between regions by providing an integrated transportation system. The ride-hailing taxiis one of the modes that has the advantage of mobility so that it can place ride-hailing taxi in the role of public transport feeders both in cities and in sub-urban areas. The purpose of this study is to calculate the number of ride-hailing taxi fleets in the Greater Bandung Metropolitan area based on taxi trip characteristics and driver characteristics. This study uses a quantitative approach that explains the relationship between variables in this study to get the optimal number of taxis. Based on the analysis conducted the number of fleets currently experiencing excess bids so that it is necessary to apply bid adjustments by limiting the fleet in operation. The estimated number of application-based taxi fleets in the Metropolitan area is currently 8.875, while the number of fleets issued by the West Java Provincial Transportation Agency is only 4,542. The optimal number of fleets based on calculations is 8,460 vehicles with an estimated number of fleets operating every day of 7,179vehicles with an hourly supply of vehicles of 3,590 vehicles per hour.
