Inter-Island Commuter Travel Mode Chain Model in the Islands Region

Abstract

Abstract Village growth and coastal development on islands are challenging phenomena in urban development that put pressure on transportation planning and provision. For waterfront cities the impacts are often amplified by exponential growth and limited availability of public transportation infrastructure. Therefore, the growth of waterfront cities is closely related to private vehicle ownership and public transportation availability, so it is important to study the commuter travel mode chain on the islands. This study involved 100 ASN respondents who often travel between islands using various types of transportation modes. The parameters of this study are the types of modes used in traveling from home to the office with variable travel time and travel costs associated with distance travelled. The best commuter travel mode chain is private motorcycle - speedboat - bentor, producing a model with a determination of 0.8602. The speedboat mode is the most used mode when traveling between islands compared to the ferry. While the bentor mode is the more popular mode on the port to office route because this mode has low travel costs but more flexible departure times, short travel times but still comfortable and safe.
