Abstract
Semarang, Indonesia, a city facing congestion and the adoption of the bus rapid transit
(Trans Semarang) system. The study identifies a gap in Indonesian transportation
regulations that lack public participation in decision-making processes, limiting public
engagement. Mayors play a crucial role in shaping transportation development, especially
in the absence of inclusive participation from outside entities. To foster interactive
community engagement, the City Government of Semarang must enact regulations that
include the general public, transportation entities, and other relevant groups. Strategies
include robust budgetary allotments and enforcement of local regulations to provide
transport subsidies. Encouraging a more inclusive paradigm and transparent regulations
can lead to the effective and sustainable execution of public transport, addressing the
community's demands and aspirations. The findings pertaining to the mayor's role, as
identified in this study, should be interpreted within the specific context of Semarang and
may not be universally applicable across all regions in Indonesia. The extent to which the
mayor assumes such a role is contingent upon their individual perspective on public
transportation as a populist cause warranting dedicated efforts.
