Feeder services in Semarang aims at improving accessibility to BRT, reducing traffic congestion caused by the use of private cars and enhancing public transport services in Semarang urban areas and its surrounding. Moreover, Trans Semarang feeder is expected to become a public transport which is representative, safe, convenient, and affordable as well as its lines can be integrated with other transport modes. The purpose of the study is to a nalyse the integration of feeder route serving more trips in Semarang urban areas and its surrounding by using superimpose analysis and quantitative descriptive analysis. This study reveals that service routes of feeder are not likely to be an optimal, the presence of bus stops amenities has not constituted the minimum requirements of convenience standard, its infrastructure has not integrated yet and the shelter cannot provide easy access to public transport users.

The increase in transportation needs is in line with the increase in the number of residents in a city (Rosidah, 2018). The success of the bus rapid transit (BRT) project is largely determined by the strong coordinating relationship between land use strategies, road network planning and other transportation systems (Satiennam, 2006). In addition, the use of public transport remains lower than desired and national transport passengers have decreased by 7% over the last decade (Mallett, 2018). Responding to this, transportation system management is needed through the integration of public transportation systems(Solecka & Zak, 2014). Integration between modes is considered important to realize affordable mass transportation in terms of services, including easy access to bus stops and pedestrian paths.In terms of services that must be considered, namely bus operating time, comfort on the bus, security officers, handrails and access to get on and off with disabilities (Savitri, A., Murtejo, T., & Rulhendri, 2020). The basic principle of integration is the placement of shelter locations that are directly connected between modes and pedestrian accessibility within a radius of 300-500 meters, besides that, integration between modes is seen from the location, time and frequency of movement.(ITDP Indonesia, 2019). The existence of the feeder phenomenon is a new mode of public transportation in the city of Semarang which was introduced to serve residential pockets that have not been reached by the Trans Semarang Bus. Feeder connections not only increase the capacity of the BRT but also increase the accessibility of the community around the BRT stops (Satiennam, 2006). In addition, the feeder route is also intended to solve the problem of overlapping routes, improve public transportation services in the city of Semarang and its surroundings and reduce congestion due to the use of private vehicles. The feeder is directed to be a representative, safe, comfortable, affordable, and integrated public transportation option with other means of transportation. There are 3 feeder routes that have been operating in Semarang City in Semarang City, namely route 1: Jl. Raya Ngaliyan- Ngalian Market, Route 2: Pasar Banget Ayu (PP), Route 3: Penggaron Terminal-Sumur Jurang T-junction, Route 4: BSB (PP). BLU Trans Semarang stated that within 1 year of operating the feeder, there was a target of 22 thousand passengers using this transportation.
