KARAKTERISTIK PENUMPANG ANGKUTAN UMUM (TAKSI) TRAYEK SP1-MAPURUJAYA

Introduction

Karakteristik penumpang angkutan umum (taksi) trayek sp1-mapurujaya. Kaji karakteristik penumpang taksi trayek SP1-Mapurujaya. Penelitian survei ungkap dominasi wanita, pola perjalanan berantai, dan tujuan pulang ke rumah. Penting untuk mobilitas kota.

Abstract

Angkutan umum merupakan salah satu sarana transportasi yang memainkan peran vital dalam mobilitas masyarakat, terutama di perkotaan. Sebagai sarana yang digunakan oleh berbagai lapisan masyarakat, angkutan umum memiliki fungsi yang sangat penting dalam mengurangi kemacetan, menghemat energi, dan meningkatkan aksesibilitas bagi warga. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei dengan teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner. Metode survei merupakan suatu penelitian kualintatif dengan menggunakan pertanyaan sistematis yang sama kepada banyak orang, Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah variasi penumpang selama seminggu, sangat bervariasi dengan persentase terbesar didominasi oleh jenis kelamin perempuan, begitu juga Variabel perjalanan selama seminggu juga sangat bervariasi dengan persentase terbesar didominasi oleh rantai perjalanan, dengan rata-rata perjalanan pada trayek ini dominan menuju ke rumah dengan jarak tempuh 17-25 menit

Review

This study addresses a pertinent topic in urban transportation: the characteristics of public transport passengers, specifically focusing on taxi services along the SP1-Mapurujaya route. Understanding passenger profiles and travel patterns is crucial for optimizing public transport services, improving urban planning, and potentially mitigating issues like congestion and energy consumption. The abstract highlights the vital role of public transport in societal mobility, setting a clear context for the research, which aims to shed light on the specific dynamics of taxi usage on a defined route. The research design, employing a survey method with questionnaires, indicates an intent to gather empirical data directly from users, which is a suitable approach for this type of descriptive study. From a methodological standpoint, the abstract states that the research uses a "kualintatif" (likely a typo for *kualitatif*, qualitative) method, despite describing a survey with systematic questions asked to many people, which typically aligns with quantitative approaches. This discrepancy requires clarification within the full paper. Nevertheless, the abstract presents several interesting findings: passenger variations throughout the week, with a notable dominance of female passengers, and travel patterns largely characterized by chain trips. It further specifies that the average journey on this route predominantly leads home, with a travel time ranging from 17-25 minutes. These initial results provide a foundational understanding of who is using these taxi services and for what primary purpose, which is valuable for route-specific service assessment. While the abstract provides a useful snapshot of the study's scope and key findings, it also presents several areas for potential enhancement. A clearer classification of the methodology (quantitative vs. qualitative) is essential. Furthermore, the abstract would benefit from briefly mentioning the theoretical framework or existing literature that informs the study, providing a stronger academic context. While percentages are given, deeper analysis into the *reasons* behind these patterns (e.g., why more females, what constitutes a "chain trip," factors influencing travel time) would strengthen the implications. Finally, discussing the practical implications of these findings for service providers, policymakers, or future research would significantly increase the impact and utility of the study, moving beyond mere description to offering actionable insights.
