Optimization of Arjonegoro Commuter Train Travel Schedule

Abstract

Arjonegoro Commuter Train is one of the city trains in East Java that serves the railways on the Sidoarjo - Bojonegoro route. This train is a mainstay transportation for the Bojonegoro community and its surroundings. Passengers consider that the Arjonegoro Commuter travel schedule is not yet in accordance with the needs of the community who need the Arjonegoro Commuter as a mode of transportation as daily commuters. The population in this study were all Arjonegoro train passengers while the sample were Arjonegoro train passengers who were successfully surveyed. This study uses Primary and Secondary data in the data collection process. Primary data was obtained from a direct survey of Arjonegoro train passengers at 18 stations serving the Arjonegoro train. This study uses a combination of Quantitative and Qualitative methods. The Quantitative approach with descriptive analysis is used in measuring the results of the passenger survey. The results of the descriptive analysis will later be used as a literature study as a qualitative approach by checking compliance with applicable regulations. The results of the study indicate that the existing Arjonegoro train schedule has met the desires of passengers, but the existing trip only reaches from Babat Station - Sidoarjo Station. From secondary data, the demand for urban train transportation on the Babat - Bojonegoro route is quite high. It is necessary to extend the relation from Bojonegoro to Babat so that passengers from Bojonegoro Station can be served by the Arjonegoro train. The Conclusion is that the optimization of the Arjonegoro train schedule can be done by extending the Arjonegoro Morning train relation to Bojonegoro - Sidoarjo and extending the Arjonegoro Evening train relation to Sidoarjo - Bojonegoro.
