[email protected] Abstract: The study is meant to simply evaluate the mode shift TDM operational strategies from selected alternatives, available for metropolitan cities in Indonesia. Jakarta would be selected as sample city, while it has been producing more than 20 million trips every day, concentrating at very small area of 20 km2 out of 656 km2. Development of Busway, School Buses, Jakarta Staggered Working Hours and Road Pricing schemes would be elaborated, comparing with the current vehicle occupancy “3 in 1” policy. Selection of strategies would including transportation, financing and environmental aspects. Key words: TDM, mode shift, congestion. 1. BACKGROUND The influences of motorization and urbanization in Indonesia, later followed by sub- urbanization in many metropolitan areas, have been of interest to transportation and urban researchers for the last few decades (Bappenas-JICA, 2004, Tamin, 2006, Prayudyanto, 2007, Soehodho, 2007, Susilo, 2007). However, most of the studies were based on evidence in developed countries. It is unclear whether the results were also valid in developing countries, since the transportation conditions of both situations are different in many fundamental ways. Sprawling urban growth with a poor public transport network has also supported the trend of motorization among urban residents in developing countries cities in Indonesia, such in Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, Makassar and Bandung.
