ABSTRACT
Transportation in developed countries usually uses smart transportation that is connected with information and communication technology in a government city. In Indonesia the transportation system still seldom uses smart transportation and public transportation is still mixed with private vehicles. Private vehicles account for 85% of total vehicles. So it is necessary to improve the city transportation systems by improving public transport services. The purpose of this article is to attract private passengers to mass transit, by increasing the proportion of the transportation system that is integrated with information and communication technology. Implementing smart transportation will affect the development of a city for the better, which essentially creates a smart city. The use of mass transportation will reduce fuel consumption and increase fuel efficiency, making city transportation low energy, low pollution, and environmentally friendly. The integration of smart transportation with information and communication technology supported by the intelligent transportation system will accelerate the formation of smart cities because information about transportation can be accessed and carried out more easily, effectively, and efficiently.
