ABSTRACT
Oplet is a popular public transportation in Jakarta from 1930 to 1979. As the Oplet are getting older, there were government policies in 1979 to stop the operation of the Oplet and replace it with the Mikrolet. This study aims to find a solution so that the remaining Oplet could have a new function so that the Betawi culture could exist and prevent extinction. How to combine the diversity of Betawi culture is the problem to support the new functions and build a representative appearance of the Oplet. This study used the design thinking approach to create the design concept to implement an Oplet with the new role of becoming a food truck that serves Betawi street food. In addition, the final result of the outer appearance applies several forms of decorative elements characteristic of Betawi cultures, such as roof ornaments and antique chandeliers. The result of this study is expected to make it easy to introduce and educate society on the Betawi culture preservation.
