Mobility for All

Background

Rapid urbanization and uncontrolled urban development (also known as urban

sprawl) have side effects for urban residents, especially in terms of urban mobility

and transportation. Urban footprints become larger and larger each year and as the

result, urban residents have to travel a long commuting time to go to work

everyday. It affects the productivity of the city, the companies, and the individuals.

For low income households, this condition makes it even more difficult to access

the job opportunities and education opportunities. Currently, the cities are changing

their trajectory in urban transportation and mobility to solve this issue. Departing

from this situation, IDN Liveable Cities would like to raise an essential question in

the field of urban transportation and mobility, “What can cities do to provide

equal mobility and access for all of the residents?”

Through this webinar, IDN Liveable Cities, as the Organizing Committee of this

event, would like to explore the efforts that have been done by various cities across

the world to provide a transformation in urban transportation and mobility in order

to ensure equal access for all residents. In order to explore this topic properly, the

Organizing Committee invited experts and practitioners in urban transportation and

mobility in Indonesia, Singapore, and the Netherlands. These experts play a role as

a moderator, keynote speakers and commentators. This event allowed the

participants to give their opinions regarding the topic during the breakout sessions.

The breakout sessions are moderated by numerous group discussion moderators.

General Information of the Event

The webinar entitled, “Mobility for All” was conducted on October 23, 2020 via an

online platform. This event was conducted online to cope with the severe situation

of COVID-19 pandemic globally, where the physical events were not possible to be

conducted. This webinar was attended by 132 participants from 20 countries,

among others Indonesia, Iraq, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Vietnam, Pakistan,

Spain, Singapore, Norway, Thailand, Swede, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines,

United States, Germany, Bangladesh, and Canada. The participants came from


7

various backgrounds: students, professionals, public institutions, private entities,

and non-governmental organizations.

The webinar was divided into five sessions:

● Session 1: The introduction about the topic and the resource persons

(moderator, keynote speakers, and commentators);

● Session 2: Presentations from the two keynote speakers;

●

●

●

Session 3: Feedback session brought by the two commentators;

Session 4: Focus group discussion parallel sessions;

Session 5: Closing session that comprises group discussions, reflection,

questions and answers (Q&A), and conclusion.

All of the results of each session are described in the next subsections of this

chapter.

Presentation 1: “MRT Jakarta: Mobility for All”

Silvia Halim, as the Construction Director of PT. MRT Jakarta, mentioned that

Jakarta, as the capital city of Indonesia, has significant congestion problems. With

her role in PT. MRT Jakarta, she hopes that the provision of mass transportation

can contribute to solve the issue. The first corridor of MRT in the country started to

operate on March 24, 2019; 33 millions passengers to date, thankfully 0 fatality to

date.

In regards to providing equal mobility for all, in each MRT station, PT. MRT Jakarta

provides barrier free access for people with disabilities, special seating areas for

pregnant women in the cart and nursery room in the station. The company engages

with many stakeholders to find suitable schemes; together with local firms, such as

PDW Architects (Indonesia) and ARUP from Singapore for instance. As well as

partnership with PT. Transjakarta (BRT provider) to have all public transports in the

city more integrated.

In order to develop this integrated transportation network and development, PT.

MRT Jakarta plays a role as a TOD (Transit Oriented Development) manager in

several areas within the city that are designated to be TOD areas, such as Lebak

Bulus, Fatwati, Istora Senayan, Sisingamangaraja, and Dukuh Atas. Other than

improving connectivity, we also carry out our public service by providing public

plaza and revitalisation of pedestrian areas. Joint venture with PT. KAI, becoming

MITJ to also check out the possible development of TOD area within the existing

KRL stations. The company is currently discovering the subsidy scheme for Jakarta


10

and greater Jakarta residents to improve the access of the residents to public

transportation.

Presentation 2: “Mobility for All: A key piece of the future cities

jigsaw”

Neil Walmsley from ARUP Singapore covers a broad theme for urban mobility. In his

opinion, the city exists because they are competing for investments, talents, and

many other things. In that context, cities need to create a quality of life for its

citizens, measured by the various global ranking and parameters. City is like a

complex system, it is hard to predict one part of the city and its interaction with

other parts. Nowadays, the world is pushed by external factors such as Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs) and three of the SDG goals are directly addressed

equality matters: goal 5 , 8, and 9.

In terms of the urban mobility and transportation sector, addressing the inequality

includes these four aspects: fairness, broad choice of transportation modes,

(affordable) travel cost, and proximity as well as economic efficiency. For example,

Mardin city, Turkey, does not have any car, but it provides access to anything

because they are built to be able to be accessed in walking distance. Meanwhile, in

New York City, U.S., only people with high income can afford cars, a very exclusive

mode of transport. In the beginning of urban planning discourses, a famous

architect, Le Corbusier proposed for the modernist city focused on traffic, city is

designed for cars, not for humans. As a result, urban sprawl happens, without a real

natural identity. However, nowadays, cities are walking towards a different direction

from what the early modern city concept. For example, Los Angeles, U.S. invests in

the bike and bus lanes as a response for the car dependent city.

In the post-modern world, motor vehicles are perceived as the problem. Traffic

jams, nothing economically viable, spending their time moving here and there. Most

infrastructure is being used while the other is flooded by traffic jams or parking. Car

dependent cities contribute to the massive number of car related deaths, major

pollution, and high energy uses. The data shows that when the wealth of cities

improves, the desire to purchase in a city goes up (even steeply). The car looks like

an all inclusive buffet, because you pay the money you want to use the assets as

much. It becomes a problem that cars require more space in the city. People see

that the world is dominated by cars, so they choose cars because there are no

other options.


11

People do not have access to opportunity because they do not have access to

private mobility: poor quality housing, high crime, have no jobs. So what are we

going to do about it? Cities can do three simple things: efficient urban mass transit,

transport and land use integration, last mile connectivity, and mixed-use

development. For example, Singapore has a comprehensive plan: 80% of the

population within 10 mins walk to MRT: significant major investments in urban

mobility. Singaporean model is developed in a long period by a lot of planning,

strategic planning level with a clear vision. The concept of compact city: jobs,

education, residence, entertainment contained in the satellite city: people can walk

at district level and do not have to drive to access your needs. Similar case is

shown in Vancouver, Canada. The city commits to the policy on discouraging mass

highway, reducing downtown access to cars.

By improving urban mobility, magic happens. It boosts the economy of the city that

is walkable. It happens in case of Times Square, New York City. It was mostly

flooded traffic jams before transforming into a beautiful pedestrian area. New York

City has a higher proportional impact on people behavioural change. Providing

equal mobility is not about technology. Making a smart car does not solve the initial

problems of space. A developed country is not where the poors have cars, but

where the rich ride the public transport.

Comment 2: “Mobility for All is Providing Opportunity for

Everybody”

Mobility for all is about providing opportunity for everybody. It is all about:

affordability, equality, community, network, lifestyle, the last mile, livability, vision -

planning - implementation, and an effort to be a world class city. The Commentator,

Tiyok Prasetyoadi mentioned an interesting quote, ‘You are not stuck in traffic, YOU

are traffic’. Affordability does not only mean the cheap price of a public

transportation ticket but also the lifestyle of the user; to travel to work, to easily

hang out with friends after work since they have close proximity to public

transportation stations. Luckily people now start to realize the importance of

bicycles in Jakarta, hopefully there will be a changing lifestyle in the future.


12

Comment 2: “Rail-based Transportation for Metropolitan Means of

Public Transportation”

Mobility in a metropolitan city like Jakarta shall be supported by rail-based

transportation as the backbone. Electric trains were adapted in the city in 1929,

meanwhile the electric trams started in 1925. At that time, the city was modernized,

but unfortunately, they disappeared for some political reasons. Now, the current

president of Indonesia begins to reintroduce the important role of rail-based

transportation, MRT, commuter trains, and LRT.

MRT has a really good toilet and is secure. The MRT station is so much better

compared to European cities like Amsterdam and Den Haag, because none of those

stations has toilets and meditation rooms. Things to be improved is the connectivity

with the other transportation modes: bus, LRT, and the commuter line trains. For

example, people still have to walk a far distance to change from one transport mode

to the others. It is indeed very inconvenient for elders and pregnant women. Not to

mention, the challenge is the rainy season. Same problem also exists with the train

system. These connectivity issues and level of comfort of the user shall be solved.

Group Discussions Reflection

During the break-out session, all or participants are divided into 4 (four) groups to

discuss the topic. Each group was given a similar question, “What can cities do to

provide equal mobility for all?”. The result of the group discussion can be seen in

Appendix 3-6.

Questions and Answers Summary

1 How to improve mobility if some cities already sprawl and have no choice

but to use automobiles? And how to cope with financing problems to solve

mobility problems in urban sprawl cities such as Jakarta?

Answer: Bringing more residents into the city, changing the transport

patterns, changing the way you charge for things, changing the transport

system (making the car more congested).

2 What does PT MRT do to respond to Jakarta’s urban challenges (soft soil,

flood prone area, land subsidence and limitation to build in heritage areas)


13

?

Answer: Before we call for tenders and construction, we invite all the

experts and develop a basic engineering design, fulfilling requirements that

address this issue. PT MRT Jakarta asks consultants to analyze the design

level of the situation, soil condition, flood level, flood protecting system.

During the construction also raises an issue of heritage building, the

concern would be if the object is found the project required to be stopped.

so we invite the heritage experts from the beginning of the project:

preconstruction investigation, want to find the object as early as possible to

make a quick decision: whether to move location or extract. PT MRT Jakarta

takes a lot of measures to minimize ground movement and heritage.
