Focus Group Discussion (FGD) for the Development of a National Communication Strategy for Sustainable Transport – TUEWAS (Transport, Environment, Energy and Water in Asia)

The participants of the socialisation FGD in Semarang

The participants of the socialisation FGD in Pekanbaru

To encourage the preparation and commitment of regional governments on the implementation of public transport, SUTRI NAMA & INDOBUS organised a series of FGD in two of its pilot cities, namely Semarang and Pekanbaru. The FGD invited both government and non-government practitioners to gather insights from various stakeholders that will provide a comprehensive understanding of public transport conditions in each city. One of the main takeaways from the FGDs is the need to advocate to various stakeholders to develop excellent public transport for the community.

It is also important to highlight that Semarang needs a plan to establish a public transport authority to overcome the regional administrative challenges of its public transport. While Pekanbaru needs to restrict the use of private vehicles and provide feeders to support the public transport development in the city. Going forward, SUTRI NAMA & INDOBUS will utilise the results of the FGD to formulate a communication strategy to help accelerate public transport implementation.
