Abstract—Transportation has been long part of people life,
especially for the urban. The transportation need not only
applied for the local, Jakarta as a capital city must be full of
foreigner either for business purpose or others, and they are
need a public transportation as well. Commuter Line
Jabodetabek is the most preferable public transportation to
avoid Jakarta’s traffic. The idea is to create a mobile
application system which could easily help Commuter Line
Jabodetabek user to get the information about timetable
schedule, arrange the route and transit information and find
how to reach the destination as well as how long to get there
and how much does it cost, and visualize the route in easy-to-
understand format. The application system is analyzed and
designed with mobile application development approach and
the application development with cloud computing provided by
Application Craft, and the result of this study is prototype
application design with cross-platform based. (Abstract)
Keywords—commuter line; transportation; information;

I. INTRODUCTION
In developed countries, the road based transportation
systems become the government focus to develop the
infrastructure. Jabodetabek (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok,
Tangerang and Bekasi) is a region that consists of DKI
Jakarta Province, the capital city of Republic of Indonesia,
and there are 7 other regions such as Bogor City, Depok City,
Tangerang City, and Bekasi City that surrounds Jakarta, as
hinterland. According to [1], Figure 1 shows that there is
increment in commuter traffic from Jakarta Metropolitan
Area to DKI Jakarta from 2002 to 2010 about 1.5 times. But
the high demands of commuter line Jabodetabek transport
are not balanced with the high level of service. But the high
demands of commuter line Jabodetabek transport are not
balanced with the high level of service. Proven by JICA’s
research based on Journey experience index that shows
Jakarta as the city with the lowest rate of commuter
satisfaction for public transportation in major Asian cities
(See Figure 2).
Based on the underlying reasons, this study is devoted to
the establishment of an idea to create such a mobile
application (with cross-platform based and business model as
a differentiation tool in business environment) which
purpose is to assist Commuter Line Jabodetabek users with
their commuter activities. This application system could
easily provide the information about timetable, departure
time, and the way on how to reach the destination station,
how long and how much does it cost to get there, including
the transit information with the visualization of the routes in
a simple and easy-to-understand format (using map routes or
highlight lists). The proposed application system is expected
to help commuter line Jabodetabek user to get the
information about timetable and help to plan the departure
time to minimize the waiting time at the station, and the most
important thing is to create the environment of using public
transportation handled nicely, instead of making it a stressful
experience.
