Construction of Integration Facilities (Skybridge) between Bojonggede Station and Bojonggede Terminal

Abstract

Bojonggede Station is one of the commuter stations with a high passenger movement rate in the Greater Jakarta area. The high passenger activity has not been balanced by adequate intermodal integration between the station and the Bojonggede Terminal, resulting in traffic congestion, conflicts between vehicle and pedestrian movements, and low terminal utilization. This article aims to describe transportation problems in the Bojonggede Station area and the construction of an integration facility in the form of a skybridge as a solution to improve intermodal connectivity. The method used is a case study with a descriptive approach through field observations, documentation of the construction process, and a review of supporting data and documents. The results of the study indicate that the construction of a 243 m long and 3.5 m wide skybridge is able to directly connect Bojonggede Station with the Bojonggede Terminal, thereby improving pedestrian comfort and safety, reducing traffic conflicts around the station, and encouraging the optimization of the terminal's function as a transportation mode transfer node. Based on the results of the user satisfaction evaluation, 70% of respondents expressed satisfaction with the existence of the skybridge facility. The existence of this integration facility is expected to support a more orderly, safe, and efficient urban transportation system and become a model for the development of intermodal integration in other station areas.
