The Use of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method in Analysis of Factors Affecting the Demand for Trans Malang Bus Passengers in Malang City

Analysis of factors that influence the demand for public transport passengers is very useful for planning public transport lines in an area. One method that can be used to determine the factors that affect passenger demand is the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. AHP method is one of methods that can be used in determining the priority of a number of available criteria. This system draws criteria with a hierarchy and each hierarchy will be pairwise comparison, i.e. pairwise comparisons between criteria, so that a comparison of relative importance between one criterion and another criterion is obtained. The results of this comparison were then analyzed to get the priority of each criterion. After completion, it is assessed on the alternative choices to be compared and calculated to get the best alternative according to established criteria. The parameters that affect passenger demand involve several sectors so this is the reason for using the AHP method. The research begun with a literature study from related sources, field observations, parameter identification, parameter hierarchy preparation, discussion, confirmation to the experts and an assessment of the interests of the experts. The results of the analysis of the AHP method were weig
