Knowledge Development on Urban Public Transportation Concepts: A Literature Study in Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Abstract Urban public transportation (UPT) is the development of public transportation systems in urban areas by optimizing resources and infrastructure that are integrated with each other by adopting environmentally friendly technologies to create a sustainable city. Urban public transportation is important to be developed through the differentiation of knowledge and technology which refers to development of metropolitan cities as a benchmark in supporting sustainable development. Qualitative research using bibliometric analysis as a meta-analysis study was developed to analyze the research theme. The scientific literature analyzed came from journal publications published from 1966-2020. The results of analysis state that significant increase the themes studied occurred in the last two periods with priority topics including sustainable transportation, service quality, air pollution, bus rapid transit, and light rail transit. New topics that have not been widely researched need to be strengthened in their analysis through the development of knowledge and technology to produce a sustainable transportation system.
