Project background: 

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH supports the Indonesian Ministry of Transport (MoT) in the implementation of sustainable transport measures in two closely related projects: SUTRI NAMA and INDOBUS. These projects began in 12/2018, with the overall objective to contribute to transform urban transport in Indonesia with a mix of capacity building and investment measures. Such measures, in turn, are anticipated to enable Indonesian cities to contribute to climate change mitigation through sustainable transport policies and infrastructure projects, supported by a national urban transport programme.

Service description: 

Services provided related to “sustainable urban mobility studies and/or transportation planning studies, excluding supervision and design service contracts, but including bus lanes/BRT, active transportation (walking and cycling), healthy streets and accessibility in urban areas ”:

  • Sharing of international experience/best practice in the field of sustainable urban mobility studies;
  • Advice on public transport related organizational development (institutional restructuring, defining roles and responsibilities, defining work plans, coordination management, etc.);
  • Undertaking detailed feasibility study for BRT establishment in Surabaya:
  • City profiling & detailed analysis of the existing components of the urban transport system in terms of accessibility, costs, traffic congestion, etc.;
  • Traffic analysis (incl. related surveys) and forecast;
  • BRT concept definition & service planning;
  • Conceptual and feasibility-level designs for the BRT busway and corridor (incl. details of bus types, technologies and procurement);
  • Analyzing and recommending options for institutional, financial and technology arrangements;
  • Elaborate ITS concept to provide user information, monitor system operations, compliance to schedules and service quality, minimize revenue leakages, reduce costs, enhance safety and also to generate valuable traffic information for fine-tuning mobility plans;
  • Assess environmental and social links and expected impacts to the recommended BRT and propose mitigation measures;
  • GHG calculations, climate impact and MRV support;
  • Financial and economic analyses (feasibility level);
  • Implementation plan and guidelines for risk management;
  • Additional services, for instance to address parking, non-motorized transport (NMT) and intermodal facilities in the context of the developed BRT projects
  • Training implemented for the six partner cities;
  • Preparation, implementation and documentation of different events: e.g. trainings, webinars, technical workshops, conferences and side-events;
Objectives: 

The INDOBUS project is a stand-alone technical component of the SUTRI NAMA project, which is financed by the State Secretariat of Economic Affairs of Switzerland (SECO). INDOBUS' primary aim is to assist selected Indonesian cities in developing bus rapid transit (BRT) corridors as a backbone for sustainable urban mobility systems, through a mix of technical and investment assistance. At national level, INDOBUS supports the Ministry of Transportation in establishing the necessary regulatory framework and policies for BRT systems in Indonesian cities as well as coordinating efforts of all other line ministries to effect substantial progress e.g., through initiating high-level policy dialogues. At local level INDOBUS assists selected pilot cities namely Bandung, Semarang, Makassar, Pekanbaru, Batam and Surabaya in selecting BRT corridors and designing (concept design phase) associated infrastructure, as well as supporting the establishment of state-of-the-art BRT management and operations systems, including human capacity development by means of on-the-job training/close collaboration with project experts as well as selected training activities.

GOPA Infra supports the successful implementation of the INDOBUS project in the fields of sustainable urban transport, urban transport financing, bus rapid transit implementation and measuring, reporting and verifying (MRV) GHG emissions in the field of transport. Capacity building is a significant element of GOPA Infra’s work.

In this context the project has addressed the following tasks:

  • Task 1: Capacity building on operationalisation (Institutional development, financing), integration and associated technologies/opportunities (intelligent transport systems; e-mobility) of BRT systems in the partner cities
 
  • Task 2: Preliminary mission/surveying for feasibility study in Surabaya
 
  • Task 3: Feasibility study for Surabaya
