An Assessment of Public and Private Transport Competitiveness in Jakarta with the Focus on MRT

The provision of Jakarta MRT is expected to reduce congestion in Jakarta by shifting motorists to the MRT. Nevertheless, shifting drivers to the MRT is much more complex since the process of decision-making involves various technical and social aspects. A comprehensive study of decision making was undertaken to see drivers’ response towards Jakarta MRT development. Hence, the research aim is to examine the competitive level of Jakarta MRT in shifting motorists to the MRT. The data collected via a questionnaire from residents of Jakarta is divided into two groups: Private Vehicle Ownership (PVO) and Private Vehicle Non-Ownership (PVNO). The results indicated that the MRT becomes a preferred transport mode for both groups, where the shortest travel time becomes the greatest reason. Even though the MRT has waiting and walking time as parts of effort, and private vehicles appear to be superior in this occasion that requires less effort, the respondents still consider the shortest travel time as the most important parameter. However, 45% of PVO’s respondents still prefer choosing a motorcycle or a car to MRT. Shifting motorists to use the MRT requires a lot of attentions in terms of reliability, cost, and security. The other factors such as connectivity, headway, comfort, and cleanliness are also valued as important for the MRT development in the future.
