Abstract. This research explored the commuting mode preferences of students living near
Institut Teknologi Bandung when a new mode of transportation (i.e., carpool) is introduced to
the selection list. Six alternative modes were presented: minibus, car, motorcycle, car-based
ride-sourcing, motorcycle-based ride-sourcing, and carpool. The data collection process was
conducted using a questionnaire-based stated-preferences survey. It included eight sets of
labeled scenarios with a number of attributes: travel time, travel cost, waiting time, transfer
amount, access and egress time, frequency, congestion time, baggage cost, and parking cost. A
total of 1416 observations were acquired for further analysis. A mixed logit (MXL) model with
random cost parameter and random error components was used. From the MXL results, we
found that travel cost had no significant influence on the selection of commuting mode among
students. This result was unforeseen given the characteristics of Indonesian consumers, who are
notoriously sensitive to price. However, based on the results for several significant attributes of
carpool as well as from the value of travel time savings and demand calculation, we suggest
that carpooling is a valid alternative transport mode for campus commuting. As a pioneer study
on student commuting mode selection, this study provided valid and dependable evidence on
how students around ITB main campus choose their transportation methods.
Keywords. carpool, ITB students, mixed logit, elasticities, value of time.

Abstrak. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi preferensi moda perjalanan pulang pergi mahasiswa
yang tinggal di dekat Institut Teknologi Bandung ketika moda transportasi baru (yaitu angkutan
bersama) menjadi salah satu pilihan moda. Terdata enam moda alternatif yang disajikan:
angkot, mobil, sepeda motor, taksi daring, ojek daring, dan angkutan bersama. Proses
pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan metoda survei stated-preference berbasis
kuesioner. Survei tersebut meliputi delapan skenario berlabel dengan sejumlah atribut: waktu
perjalanan, biaya perjalanan, waktu tunggu, banyaknya perpindahan moda, waktu perjalanan
menuju tempat angkutan umum dan waktu perjalanan menuju tempat tujuan, frekuensi
kedatangan, waktu kemacetan, biaya bagasi, dan biaya parkir. Sebanyak 1416 pengamatan
diperoleh untuk analisis lebih lanjut. Model mixed logit (MXL) dengan parameter biaya acak
dan komponen error acak digunakan. Dari hasil MXL, kami menemukan bahwa biaya
