摘要:Nowadays, in many cities in Indonesia, minibus based urban transport faces very serious threat because of its occupation declination. This condition is affected by many factors, such as: the massive usage of private vehicle, the rise of online taxi, vehicle bad condition, and bad driver behavior. This condition triggers the question: is minibus based urban transport still needed? The other question is how to make the minibus based urban transport still survive because lot of workforces and families that their lives is depended on this business. Based on this problem, this research is done to evaluate the performance of the minibus based urban transport. This research is done by using discrete event simulation. In this simulation, the passenger acts as client and the vehicle acts as server. Parameters those are evaluated are the occupation, revenue, and the potential lost. Based on the simulation, the passenger inter-arrival time gives significant impact to the occupation and revenue. The passenger travel distance gives impact only if variable fee method is implemented. The recommended fee so that the vehicle can operate economically is 7,500 rupiah for fixed fee method or 1,000 rupiah per kilometer for variable fee method.
