Considering that the trip to school is classified as a regular trip made daily, it will consequently have a significant impact on Surakarta's urban transportation. Furthermore, given the existing conditions on the ground, morning rush hour traffic is mostly drop-off trips to school. Therefore, significant and better changes will occur in city traffic if the way students travel to school can be shifted towards more sustainable modes.
