Abstract

Although there are small buses and Damri (state-owned company bus) public transportation that some students use, the majority of traffic at the Indralaya Campus of Sriwijaya University consist of to support an eco-friendly college environment, the institution suggests enhancing bicycle riding as an alternative. The main purpose of this study is to develop strategic, secure and comfortable bike lanes and evaluate potential bicycle users’ interest. Bicycle Level of Service (LOS) was assessed using Vissim software under three scenarios. The results show that many road segments achieved LOS A. Scenario 2, which is based on the shortest public route, is identified as the best possible bicycle lane plan for city bikers. Out of 100 respondents who were interviewed, including students, faculty personnel and employees; about 80% were in favor of implementing bicycle lanes implementation on campus.
