[Vendetta for Jakarta] Kajian Singkat Kapasitas Armada Busway

Disclaimer:

Adapun tujuan gerakan Vendetta for Jakarta ini bukanlah semata untuk mengeluh. Tapi untuk mengangkat topik2 yang kadang terlewatkan dari benak pikiran. Sehingga pada saat mendengar ide-ide ini kita jadi bilang ke diri kita, "oh iya yah..gak kepikiran." Lalu selanjutnya topik ini bisa diangkat disaat lunch sama rekan2 kerja atau bersama teman2 sepulang kerja, atau bahkan ke pasangan anda di rumah. Sehingga menjadi pembahasan oleh orang-orang intelektuil jakarta. Semakin banyak warga Jakarta yang mengerti faham2 ini, semakin besar chance kita untuk bisa menghasilkan 'manajemen kota' yang lebih baik.

Bayangkan, misalnya anda angkat topik-topik ini ke rekan kerja anda yang ternyata dia adalah anaknya wakil walikota jaksel, misalnya, nahh at least bisa tertanam 'ide bijak' ini padanya, yang lalu setelah dibawa juga topiknya ke percakapan keluarga, mungkin secara pelan-pelan bisa berpengaruh ke kebijakan bapaknya. jalurnya memang panjang, tapi itu yang at least bisa kita start. Mendidik kalangan miskin sebenarnya lebih penting dan signifikan impactnya, tapi itu diluar kemampuan kami.

anyway busway,... let's start our light topic for the day...

KAPASITAS SELAYAKNYA ARMADA BUSWAY

ini sebenernya topik kaum intelektual yang udah berlangsung dari awal inception of busway di taun 2004. Pernah pula topik serupa dimuat di Kompas Februari 2004 ditulis oleh Harun Al-Rasyid Lubis.

Topik ini akan membahas tentang beban kapasitas angkut yang 'selayaknya' dipikul oleh busway, dan yang 'kenyataannya' dipikul oleh busway. Kita maen matematika sebentar yah :) Hope you like it.

Rata-rata isi orang per kendaraan pribadi menurut statistik adalah 1.67 (kompas 2004)

Kapasitas jalur jalan yang tidak macet bisa dilalui 1,000 - 1,500 kendaraan per jam. Ini menurut statistik pernyataan Harun al Rasyid.

Berarti dalam satu jam menurut dia apabila kapasitas mobil 1,000 per jam saja (mari kita coba merendah2kan, bukan melebih2kan masalah), maka dalam satu jam akan lewat/ terangkut 1,670 orang.

Oke deh.. kalo kita tipe orang yang lebih percaya ama nalar pribadi dibanding pernyataan orang (spt saya) mari kita ambil 'kira-kira' saja. Terlebih bagi saya asumsi Pak Harun di atas lebih kepada beban per jalur (1 jalur saja). Saya disini ingin melihat masalah per ruas jalan. Dg harapan bisa lihat masalah lebih general, broad, dan komprehensif.

Anggap anda berada dalam jalan seperti Gatot subroto atau Jend.Sudirman atau Kuningan. Sebuah jalan protokol dengan 3 jalur dalam satu arah. ok?.

anggap anda berdiri di pinggir dan traffic sedang lancar normal. Berapa sih kira2 mobil yang lewat dalam satu menit?. Kalo dari 'kira-kira' gue, dalam 3 jalur itu sekitar 3 mobil akan melaju dalam 3 detik. (bayangkan anda menghitung 3 detik saja, lalu ada berapa mobil yang lewat? seingat saya sih bisa 4 s/d 6 mobil dalam kecepatan relatif cepat sekitar 40 km/h. Saya akan ambil angka 4 sebagai bukti bahwa saya malah merendah2kan figure nya bukan melebih2kan)

Berarti bila 4 mobil dalam 3 detik, maka dalam 1 menit ada 20x4 = 80 mobil @ 1.67 penumpang. Yang equals = 133.6 orang dalam 1 menit. Maka dalam satu jam, dalam 3 jalur akan ada 8,016.

ok?

Busway mengambil satu jalur dari 3 jalur ini. Busway datang 3 menit sekali. (kenyataannya sih 5 menit sekali. Bahkan belakangan ini karena Pak Foke yang pintar memberi 'solusi' dg memberi izin kendaraan pribadi masuk jalur busway, maka busway datang 15 menit sekali dan 30 menit sekali di daerah non CBD)

Kapasitas busway adalah maksimal 85 orang per bus. Berapakah jumlah orang yang bisa dibawa busway dalam satu jam?

jawabannya adalah 85 org x 20 kali tiap jam (bila benar datang tiap 3 menit) = 1,700 orang per jam.

dari kapasitas 8,016 tadi untuk 3 jalur, maka selayaknya satu jalur menampung sepertiga nya bukan?.. yaitu 2,672 orang per jam bukan?...

EITSS.. SALAH !!..

Pada saat jalur berubah dari tiga menjadi dua, kecepatan tidaklah seperti semula. Contoh bila semula lo nyetir di kuningan dengan speed 50 km/h waktu dulu kuningan adalah 3 jalur, lalu skrg setelah jadi 2 jalur apakah anda akan melaju dg speed yang sama? tentu tidak!.. anda akan melambat!!!.. kecepatan mobil berbanding lurus dengan lebar penampang jalan. Itulah makanya kenapa di jalan tol lebar satu jalur bisa sampai 8 meter sementara garasi anda di rumah yang lebarnya 6 meter saja sudah bisa muat 2 mobil.

walau pemerintah mencoba bikin jalur 'jadi2an' (spt yang anda lihat di sudirman). Jadi sebenernya 2.5 jalur, bukan 3 jalur. Lebarnya kecil!!! ...Jalur ini gak efektif, karena lebarnya terlalu kecil untuk dilalui dengan kecepatan tertentu

pemerintah lupa bahwa:

KECEPATAN MOBIL BERBANDING LURUS DENGAN LEBAR PENAMPANG JALAN !

jadi pada saat busway mengambil satu jalur, kecepatan mobil tidak sama. dalam dua jalur itu kalo saya mencoba membayangkan dan mengira2 lagi, maka hanya akan ada 2 s/d 4 mobil yang lewat.

kita ambil 2 mobil per 3 detik. Maka = 40 mobil per menit @ 1.67 penumpang = 66.8 penumpang per menit. atau 4,008 orang per jam!!!...

(bandingan pada saat jalurnya tadi ada 3 yaitu 8,016 penumpang per menit).

Jadi busway sekarang hanya bisa menampung 1,700 org per jam (21.2%)

Anda berpikir karena ia mengambil satu jalur dari total 3 jalur, maka busway harusnya menampung 2,672 org per jam (33.3%)

Namun ternyata karena busway mengambil satu jalur ekslusif, maka menyebabkan perlambatan kecepatan mobil2 di 2 jalur tersisa sehingga 2 jalur tersisa hanya mampu menampung 4,008 per jam. Atau dengan kata lain, harusnya busway menampung (8016-4008) = 4,008 per jam juga.. alias 50% dari beban tampungan jalan!!!

Dengan busway sekarang cuma angkut 21% dari beban tampung jalan semestinya, dan 2(atau 2.5 hehe) jalur yang tersisa hanya bisa tampung 50%. Jadi jalur2 kuningan dan gatsu yang 3 jalur ini hanya bisa beroperasi dengan efektivitas sebesar 71% saja.!!.. pantes aja macet yah..?

dengan kata lain busway skrg 21% capacity. harusnya 50% capacity (ini baru untuk mengembalikan situasi kembali kepada semula). Berarti kalo mau efektif, jumlah busway harus 2 kali lipat dari sekarang!!!! (Bahkan seharusnya kalau memang busway ingin 'meningkatkan' kapasitas yah berarti mungkin harus 3 kali lipat).

mungkinkah?

Busway seharusnya menjadi solusi 'meningkatkan' kapasitas penumpang di ruas jalan. Lho, kok ini malah mengurangi (sebesar 29%) yah??.....

Makanya busway gak pernah akan efektif sampai kapanpun. Kalo monorail lain cerita. Karena monorail tidak 'merampas' ruas jalan. Jadi kalo monorail benar ada/beroperasi maka akan benar2 'menambah' kapasitas jalan!

Hehehe lucu yah?..

Begitulah pemerintah kita. Mereka sangat lucu dan menggemaskan. Bikin city transport planning aja gak bisa.

sekali lagi, kalo kata gus Pur,.... "gitu aja kok repot?"

hehheheh

To The Better Place We Seek

Eid is the day of forgiving. It has been one special day we forgive people around us. But it’s still hard for me (and I think will always be) to forgive that beetch (or, famously known as ‘the biyotch’).

So do u think maybe I should rephrase the introduction words above?

Alrite..

Eid has been one special day for us to forgive people around us ‘we loved’. Hahahaha.

But no, cause I did love that damn biyatch, before she turned into a bloodsuckin’ biyotch. But hey rega, cmon. It should be a day of forgiving, so at least u could stop cursing..

Eid is also a day of contemplating and reminiscing. My 1.5 years (more) in Indonesia has been quite an interesting journey. I’m talking of love life here, btw. Who cares about career? Work sucks, man! I am now writing from a laptop in Delhi, India. And I remembered perfectly the last time I came here. It was sometime in April 2006. I remembered that I was constantly texting and constantly calling a certain woman, who has a birth month of February, cause I gave her few jewelleries made from Amethyst. So you my closest friends would know who it was for she has been my eternal crush no.1, my 10 years affair. There was also the presence of the biyotch actually (in that 2006 trip), cause I did brought her several items from turquoise, the stone for the people with birth month of December. But hell, I dun wanna speak of the biyotch anymore. Let her roam free in her biyotchful-artificial-dream.

To think that I could be with just about anyone by now, and it’s always fun to think how it would be like if my life did proceed with one of the women in my last 1.5 yrs (more, really). I could be with AG, rite? But then there was DB. And then there was VI. But later on there was DI, and then also DH. Then LS came along, but disrupted by the presence of IN. which all finally dropped cause at the end I chose SN. There are few others in between but don’t wanna recall. Even sometimes when I see a title of a movie in the past, I can no longer recall whom I went to see that movie with. But the regretful biyotch has been the major title of my life since I got back to Indonesia. Her biyotch act is somewhat unforgiven. It would be easy for people to think that I still have something for dat damn biyotch. But to be honest, no. And this is also why it’s so much fun doing this reminiscing thing. The more I think about biyotch, and the more I think about my past, the more I realise how much I love SN.

I’m not a bastard or a player, but I can say that I’ve been here and there. And it has been my objective to venture about seeking the closest-to-best. And remember what I always say, best is best for each of us. Each of our bests is unique. The perfect woman for you may not be the perfect one for others. That’s why I often said, the ‘best guy’ (in gavaism term) may not be the most handsome bastard who dated the most beautiful women in Jakarta, but the ‘best guy’ is the one who knows his playing-field and the one who’s very much aware of what he’s looking for. Back to the topic, yes I realise how special SN is. Biyotch was special. She was the ‘special one’ (not to be confused with Mourinho the ‘special one’). But her act of biyotchness opened few horizons. Anyone CAN be your special one. But you have to choose yourself. As I mentioned before, I could be with A, or B, or C, or X. DI was nice, but not for me. AG is the most beautiful, but she was just harder to trust. DH was just a total mess. LS and IN were great women and yes they can be special. But SN was more special cause she was the one who were able to wipe out clean LS and IN from my life in one time. She was the one who made me do that (dropped affairs with 2 women simultaneously). I’m not even sure if biyotch could do that. And she changed me, and stopped me from ‘roaming’ my jungle. Hahaha.. enjoyed my time, btw. But really could’ve done more. But anyway, she did change me. That’s what made her more special than all others I’ve encountered in the past 1.5 yrs or so. I don’t have to work hard to trust her, cause I find myself more difficult to trust. Hahaha…

So what’s my point? My point is:

DAMN U BIYOTCH!! YOU CAN JUST GO TO HELL…

BUT HAPPY IDUL FITRI..!! AND PLEASE FORGIVE MY MISTAKES IN THE PAST (including what I’ve just said)… HA HA

No no no… hahahhaa.. I was just kidding. really.

The point I really wanna make is, Eid is the day of reminiscing (Gosh, I’m repeating myself). So it is important for us to reminisce, track down our faults. Discovering mistakes can be easy. But what’s more important is LEARNING from our faults. Do not repeat mistakes! Find our way to the better place we seek.

Yes maybe I have been a bastard, a heartless bastard, to some people. I have done mean deeds. But all to give me mistakes for me to learn from. Sharpen my instincts. Not for me to ‘roam’ again and again, and hurt more feelings. But instincts for me to know what I really seek from a woman and to realise who has the qualifications to stop me from my journey (doesn’t really matter if it’s for temporary or permanent).

My time here in India has given me space to think and to recall the events I’ve encountered. (or specifically in this matter, the women I’ve come across, especially at the end of the biyotch era). And at the end, it cannot be more satisfying than knowing that you’ve done your best, you’ve learnt your best, and you’ve come out with the best result!

So go and track back your mistakes. Recall your mean endeavours. And use your mistakes to move towards your better life. Be it love life, career life, family life, etc.

HAPPY IDUL FITRI

MINAL AIDIN WAL FAIDZIN

MOHON MAAF LAHIR DAN BATIN

Ps: don’t forget the first rule of Gavaism study: in order to understand love thoroughly, you have to understand pain thoroughly! Take the risk, jump to the fire, and learn your best!

Your Clean Slate Lives

Today i was busy goggle-ing few apartments in kota and north jakarta, for work of course. The interesting thing is that the most search results i got were news/blogs related to karaoke companion (or more familiar with the term Lady Companion), coukong (up to now i still hvnt found out the valid definition of this term, anyone knows?), drug trading, and of course prostitutes; as most of them dwell in these dodgy apartments.

All these remind me of the 'secretive' event i had few weeks ago. But nevermind that, as that will not be the topic here.

So interesting is the life of the "True Jakarta strugglers", as my best friend put it. LCs and prostitutes are such intriguing figures. Somehow they are lost, somehow it seems as if they need help, and somehow you will always have this flash of heroic thoughts that you could be the one who could vindicate one of them.
Some of these strugglers could surprisingly have a monthly income 10 times yours. Yet sadness and hollowness can be seen from their eyes and they're behaviour. Maybe at the end, money has only been a 'short-term' solution to their worries and needs. But money is one they cannot escape from. Not that they don't want to, but they just can't.


Living a clean slate life is a blessing. Not many people have such priviledge. Ask that to them. Nevertheless, it was themselves who made the choice out of so many options they can have in Jakarta. And yes, money will always seem to light their way out of the tunnel.

It's just common sense that one would opt for an average of 10 million rupiah for working only 3 nights in a week as an LC (esp. the 'party' ones), rather than earning around 1.5 million a month for working at a clothing store in a mall.

There r prices you hv to pay for living clean. (i.e. the tougher life attributed by less income), and there r prices you hv to pay for not (i.e. mess up future).

But all these phenomena should but remind us to be grateful for the life we are currently leading. Living straight is a blessing for some people. Ask drug dealers who couldn't get out of the pressure from their drug-dealing networks, ask LCs who couldn't escape their work, as it has been their life-long dream to be findycated.. sorry i mean vindicated.. haha

Sometimes we whine about our jobs, our salaries, our colleagues, and even at jakarta's ever worsening traffic (thx to our president-wannabe governor who has been busy collecting the remaining 'project-money' before stepping down). We often forget how lucky we are.

Menurut anda yang manakah yang paling tepat dari pernyataan-pernyataan dibawah ini?

Apa Yang Lo Lakukan Kalau Setiap Lo Jauh Dari Tuhan, Keinginan-keinginan Lo Terpenuhi?

Apa yang lo akan lakukan kalau setiap saat lo jauh dari Tuhan, keinginan2 lo terpenuhi...

dan setiap lo inget sama Tuhan dan lalu sekedar berterimakasih atas apa yang diberikanNya kepada lo, lalu seluruh keinginan2 lo hancur berantakan??

Setiap lo ditimpa kebingungan dan lalu lo berdoa, maka lalu endingnya lo akan diberikan kehancuran...

lucu banget yah...

kadang gue antara kesel, antara benci, antara mau percaya-percaya-engga, dll..

tapi Tuhan itu memang aneh.. dan manusia juga mgkn lebih aneh lagi.

Dunno lah.. Tuhan itu terlalu misterius.. Gue kadang cuma pgn ga lupa diri aja berterimakasih, tapi emang kadang dengan begitu gue malah sering diberi hukuman....

Lucunya kebahagiaan2 seringkali datang disaat gue jauh sekali dengan Dia.

aneh kan?

Kalo lo jadi gue lo akan gimana coba?

Mau mempercayakan hidup lo ama Tuhan? Mau berterimakasih lagi disaat berikutnya?

Atau mau bodo amat... mau kibarkan bendera 'permusuhan' dg Tuhan??

Benar-Salah-Baik-Jahat-Kiri-Kanan-Boleh-TidakBoleh,,, semuanya terlalu rancu
