Various big cities worldwide are now turning to public transportation as a solution to dealing with community mobility problems, reducing congestion, and addressing environmental pollution issues. One of the largest cities in Indonesia is Bandung, which offers its residents a variety of public transportation choices, including Angkot, Trans Metro Bandung (TMB), and Trans Metro Pasundan (TMP). Presently, there are two million private motor vehicles in Bandung, which is nearly the same as the city's population.This shows that public transportation has not become the main choice of people in traveling. System integration comes as a solution in minimizing public transportation problems such as intermodal transfers that are considered to take time and result in higher travel costs. The objective of this research is to explore the tariff integration system for public transportation in Bandung, specifically designed to boost the usage of public transit services. By examining the potential impacts of a unified fare structure, the study seeks to promote an increase in public transport patronage, thereby contributing to the city's sustainable mobility initiatives. Reduced transit fares are anticipated as a result of this fare integration, which may influence an increase in users. The purpose of this study is to examine the intermodal integration tariff scheme for public transportation in Bandung City. Three phases of the research were carried out: first, the analysis of the vehicle operating costs (BOK); second, the analysis of respondents' stated preferences to compare their willingness to pay (WTP) and ability to pay (ATP); and third, the analysis of the tariff scheme for integration between public transportation modes. The findings of the vehicle operating cost study show that the BOK value for Angkot is Rp. 5.837,57/bus-km, TMB is Rp. 7.024,12/bus-km, and TMP is Rp. 10.313,86/bus-km. The average ATP value of the participants is Rp. 13.242,44, whereas the meeting value between ATP and WTP is Rp. 10,000. With consideration of the purchasing power of the community and vehicle operating costs, the ideal tariff scheme for integration tariff is Rp. 8.500, which is valid for 90 minutes regardless of travel distance. This fare is paid by passengers, while to meet the operational costs of the system, the West Java Provincial Government needs to provide subsidies paid to public transport operators.
