Submitted: 26/08/2025 Revised: 02/12/2025 Accepted: 17/12/2025 Abstract The high number of community activities in Colomadu District.
Karanganyar, causes traffic congestion at times.
This study seeks to examine respondents' characteristics and travel patterns in the presence or absence of enhancements to public transportation infrastructure.
Primary data includes general information about respondents, their activities, and responses to existing Data were acquired by distributing Google Form questionnaire URLs both offline and The Miles and Huberman Method was employed during the analysis phase.
The characteristic analysis revealed that the majority of respondents were female, aged 15-30 years, and from the student/university group.
The most commonly owned vehicle was a motorcycle, with the primary reason of travel being school/college.
The bulk of travels were school/collegerelated, with destinations in Surakarta, notably Banjarsari District.
Gedongan had the most travel patterns, with 8 activities and 14 destination districts, whereas Tohudan had 7 destination cities/regencies.
Gedongan and Gawanan had the most vehicle users, with six different types Initially, respondents used motorbikes rather than bus stops.
With infrastructure upgrades, bus stops grew, while motorbikes declined.
This resulted in a reduction in vehicle options from six to five, as well as a new bus stop layout, the majority of which came from Gedongan.
Based on these results, it is hoped that improvements in facilities and services will occur in the future, so that there will be an increase in the use of BST.

INTRODUCTION
The movement of people can be described as economic, social, or educational activity in a certain location.
Transportation is critical for a country's development since it affects so many aspects of people's lives.
Generally, transportation is the process of moving people and goods from one point to another, either with or without the use of The transportation mode, sometimes known as the vehicle, is the tool used to carry passengers or goods (Hidayati.
Setiyaningsih & Idris, 2.
Several factors can influence the selection and usage of an effective mode, including user characteristics and motions, the mode's facilities, and the condition of the city or zone (Tamin, 2.
Land transportation, which can be divided into two categoriesAi highways and railroadsAiis one of the forms of transportation that are utilized (Fatimah, 2.
In terms of ownership, highway modes are transportation, while motorized and nonmotorized modes are grouped based on the driving force (GRI, 2.
Highway modes are accessible to nearly everyone and are comparatively simple (Widiarta, 2010.
Ding, et , 2.
Public transportation services are divided into cross-border (LBN), intercity and interprovincial (AKAP), intercity within a province (AKDP), urban and rural (GRI, 2.
One city that provides urban transportation is DINAMIKA TEKNIK SIPIL Surakarta, namely Batik Solo Trans (BST).
Development in this city has progressed in various sectors, as seen in the presence of starrated hotels and luxury restaurants, for example: the 4-star Alana Hotel (Hendrawan.
Anwar & Lukitasari, 2.
and the 5-star Lor In (Cahyo & Solikhin, 2.
Travel habits have also changed as a result of motorized vehicle ownership and rapid population There was traffic congestion everywhere as a result of this growth (Magfirona, et al.
, 2.
It is anticipated that this issue will be resolved with the availability of sufficient public transit.
The Surakarta City Government accomplished this by constructing six feeder lines and six main corridors, one of which was connected to Adi Soemarmo Airport (Mardiastuti, 2.

Damarjati, et al.
Based on a preliminary survey, one corridor with a path outside of Surakarta is Corridor 5, which runs across Colomadu District from the Kartasura Bekonang Terminal.
The Karanganyar Regency contains the Colomadu District, which has a population of 75,357 and an area of 15.
64 kmA.
It is geographically isolated from other districts, making it an exclave.
Nevertheless, because of the large number of hotels, marketplaces, restaurants, schools, residential neighborhoods, and community health clinics, the area has become a metropolitan city (Diskominfo.
Numerous activities from the nearby residential areas to the trip-generation and attraction region have been observed to cause congestion at various periods during rush hour.
Corridor 5 passes via the Tugu Boto unsignalized intersection (Novitria, 2.
as well as the LANUD signalized intersection.
When workers and students leave for their destinations in the morning and return home in the afternoon, traffic is at its worst.
There was no denying that the BST, particularly Corridor 5, was rarely used.
Everyone who wishes to travel should be able to do so with the help of adequate services.

the number of users is still relatively small (Hidayati.

Primary data was collected by distributing questionnaires about societal characteristics and travel patterns to determine whether or not public transportation infrastructure and services have improved.
The questions cover personal information and activities carried out by respondents, such as age, gender, occupation, vehicle ownership, travel purpose, and method.
Travel patterns are studied in terms of activities, destinations, and modes of transportation used.
If there were improvements to the BST facilities, would transportation for their daily activities? These improvements include the appearance of bus stops, buses .
