Factors associated with choice of transportation mode among students commuting to school in Jabodetabek, Indonesia

Downloads
Over the past decade (2010–2020), the journeys made by students in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area to and from school have predominantly relied on private transportation. To address the persistent issue of traffic congestion, this study focuses on identifying the characteristics of student commuters and exploring strategies to shift their transportation preferences from private transportation to sustainable mass public transit options. A binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the influence of individual-level variables on students' mode of transportation choices. The findings reveal that 67% of student commuters opted for private transportation, while 33% used public transportation. Students' preference for public transit was significantly associated with factors such as gender, education level, travel distance, commute duration, and cost. To inform policy formulation, the study highlights the importance of implementing push-and-pull strategies. These include discouraging the use of private transportation and promoting public transportation or school buses. Such programs aim to encourage a shift towards more sustainable and efficient modes of mobility among students.
