Abstract

Jakarta is known for its congested traffic. Public transportations and infrastructures, such as Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), Light Rapid Transit (LRT), and Transjakarta, have been made to overcome it. Transjakarta is one of the most important infrastructures that supports the city of Jakarta. A good Transjakarta bus shelter should be comfortable and safe, supports circulation (paths for exit and entrance) and provides space for people who wait for their buses. Transjakarta Bus Shelter Tarakan, located in Central Jakarta, is this case study’s object. It is a narrow bus shelter with very limited space. During peak hours, this bus shelter is extremely packed with passengers. It caused a lot of problems in terms of space configuration, circulation, and safety. There is a lot that can be learned from this bus shelters, which hopefully will be taken into consideration for future bus shelters.
