Measuring the Efficiency of the Wira Wiri Feeder Network in Relation to the BRT Plan in Surabaya City

Abstract

Surabaya faces challenges in providing efficient and integrated public transportation, including traffic congestion and limited-service effectiveness. To address this, the government plans to implement a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system as the main transit line, integrated with the Wira Wiri feeder network. This integration aims to enhance route efficiency and reduce travel time. Efficient routing in such systems helps lower operational costs, improve accessibility, and benefit both users and operators. This study analyzes the efficiency of the Wira Wiri feeder routes before and after BRT implementation. Using a positivist, quantitative approach, the research applies two key metrics: node connectivity (measuring the connection between stops) and line connectivity (assessing the continuity of individual feeder routes). The results will compare the feeder network’s efficiency before and after integration into the BRT system. The integration of the Wira Wiri feeder system with Surabaya’s planned BRT network shows strong potential to improve public transport efficiency. Simulated connectivity analyses indicate significant increases in node and line connectivity, leading to better accessibility and reduced travel time across urban sub-districts. These findings highlight the importance of implementing the BRT network to support inclusive, sustainable, and integrated urban mobility.
