Abstract
This study is conducted to address the lack of route information of public transportation in Surabaya by creating an online guide that can be accessed by passengers to get complete information on maps and travel routes for public transportation. This guide is made interactive, simple, accessible and appropriate for transportation that is adapted to the conditions in the city of Surabaya. This research will develop an Android and iOS applications that can be used on smartphones and tablets using Android and iOS operating systems. Maps and routes are obtained from the Department of Transportation of Surabaya. Maps and route are developed using OpenStreetMap, Ajax, Javascript, XML, OpenLayer, PostgreSQL, and PostGIS. The hybrid application is compiled using PhoneGap. Passengers simply point to the destination of their journey, such as the name of the street, landmarks and public places. The system will automatically choose the alternative line of bemo they should choose, including the routes to reach the destination. The information includes the connecting line of a public minibus (called bemo in Indonesian) if the route needs to be connected by more than one bemo line. The information also includes the fare to be paid. From the test results, both the Android and iOS applications can adapt to a wide range of smartphones with a variety of screen sizes, from 3.5 to 5 in. smartphones and 7 in. tablets.
