Some major cities has urban [[transit bus]] service, or a more sophisticated form of [[bus rapid transit]] (BRT). There are usually also bus services of various kinds such as the [[Kopaja]] in Jakarta. The largest one, [[Transjakarta]] system in Jakarta, is the [[List of bus rapid transit systems|longest bus rapid transit system in the world]] that boasts some {{convert|230.9|km|abbr=off}} in 13 corridors and 10 cross-corridor routes<ref>{{cite web|url=https://transjakarta.co.id/produk-dan-layanan/infrastruktur/koridor/|title=Koridor|publisher=TransJakarta|access-date=15 August 2017}}</ref> and carrying 430,000 passengers daily in 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.beritasatu.com/aktualitas/411115-tahun-ini-transjakarta-targetkan-185-juta-penumpang.html|title=This Year, TransJakarta targets 185 million passengers|author=Tristia Tambun, Lenny|publisher=Berita Satu|language=id|date=25 January 2017|access-date=15 August 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170815135830/http://www.beritasatu.com/aktualitas/411115-tahun-ini-transjakarta-targetkan-185-juta-penumpang.html|archive-date=15 August 2017}}</ref> Other cities such as [[Yogyakarta]] ([[Trans Jogja]]), [[Surabaya]] ([[Suroboyo Bus]] & [[Trans Semanggi Suroboyo]]), [[Palembang]], [[Bandung]] ([[Trans Metro Pasundan]]), [[Surakarta]] ([[Batik Solo Trans]]), [[Denpasar]], [[Pekanbaru]], [[Semarang]] ([[Trans Semarang]]), [[Makassar]], [[Bogor]], and [[Padang]] also have BRT systems in place without segregated lanes.

====City bus in Surabaya====
[[Surabaya City]] has a number of [[public transportation]] services in the form of [[City bus|regular city bus]] by several [[List of bus companies in Indonesia|bus companies]], both owned by [[State-owned enterprises|BUMN]] and [[Private enterprises|private]], which operate in accordance with the [[Transportation route|route permit]] from the Surabaya City Transportation Agency or the East Java Traffic and Road Transportation Agency (DLLAJ). The service has been operating since July 20, 1975, replacing the function of [[tram]] as the main public transportation at that time.
In the early 2010s, the population of regular city buses continued to decline along with the number of units that were no longer roadworthy and the emergence of various [[Online motorcycle taxi|online transportation]] services in this city. The existence of regular city buses has also been eroded by the start of various [[Bus Rapid Transit|road-based mass transportation]] (bus rapid transit) services in the city since mid-2015, such as [[:File:Several Trans Sidoarjo Bus units on the Porong - Purabaya Terminal route queuing for departure hours from the Porong Terminal public transportation shelter.jpg|Trans Gerbangkertosila]] (known as Trans Sidoarjo), [[Suroboyo Bus]], [[Trans Semanggi Suroboyo]] and [[Trans Jatim]]. Until 2017, the population of regular city buses with various [[chassis]] (frames) and bodies reached 274 units spread across twenty different route lines.
Early September 2022, the state-owned operator [[DAMRI|Perum DAMRI]] officially stopped all operations of its regular city buses, so that all remaining regular city bus services were only operated by several private bus companies. There are a total of 38 buses from several bus companies such as PO Estraa Mandiri, PO Ladju, PO Akas NR, PO Dua Putra, etc., which provide services on two economy routes, two express routes and one AC express route. These routes connect [[Terminal Purabaya]] or [[Terminal Larangan|Terminal Larangan (Sidoarjo)]] in the south of the city with several public transportation infrastructures in the north of the city such as [[Terminal Bratang]], [[Terminal Joyoboyo]] or [[Halte Jembatan Merah|Jembatan Merah Plaza (JMP)]].

==== History and development ====
===== Tram feeder buses =====
{{main|Trams in Surabaya}}
[[File:Deret bus milik perusahaan OJS terparkir rapi di depan bangunan stasiun trem Wonokromo sekitar tahun 1930-an.jpg|thumb|A row of tram feeder buses parked in front of Wonokromo Kota Station, 1936.]]
City bus services have been present in Surabaya as feeder buses or pick-up buses for [[tram]] passengers belonging to the [[Oost-Java Stoomtram Maatschappij|Oost-Java Stoomtram Maatschappij (OJS)]] company since 1889. Many bus units were placed at several tram stop infrastructure such as [[Wonokromo Kota Station]], [[Jembatan Merah|Willemplein]], and [[Kalimas Station|Ujung]]. As the golden age of trams faded, the Surabaya City Government began to stop all tram operations in 1969. As a result, tram feeder buses changed status to become the main mode of public transportation in the city.<ref>{{cite journal|author1=Mahar Jalu Primadana|author2=Ikhsan Rosyid Mujahidul Anwari|year=2019|title=Joyoboyo Terminal Surabaya 1970–1991|url=http://repository.unair.ac.id/89785/|journal=Department of History, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, University of Surabaya Airlangga|access-date=2022-01-24|archive-date=2022-01-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220124112726/http://repository.unair.ac.id/89785/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Afaf Nadiyah Rifa|date=April 24, 2020|title=Looking back at the traces of trams in Indonesia|url=http://www.clapeyronmedia.com/look-back-at-the-trams-in-indonesia/|website=clapeyronmedia.com|access-date=February 18, 2022|archive-date=2022-01-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220122174543/http://www.clapeyronmedia.com/melirik-kembali-jejak-trem-di-indonesia/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Mokhamad Dofir|date=6 February 2021|title=History of Dutch heritage trams in Surabaya|url=https://faktualnews.co/2021/02/06/riwayat-trem-warisan-belanda-di-surabaya/253139/|publisher=faktualnews.co|access-date=18 February 2022|archive-date=2022-01-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220124105907/https://faktualnews.co/2021/02/06/riwayat-trem-warisan-belanda-di-surabaya/253139/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|author=|date=May 26, 2013|title=Trem Sejarahmu Dulu|url=https://majalah.tempo.co/read/jawa-timur/142621/trem-riwayatmu-dulu|work=[[Tempo.co]]|access-date=February 18, 2022|url-access=subscription|archive-date=2022-01-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220124043315/https://majalah.tempo.co/read/jawa-timur/142621/trem-riwayatmu-dulu|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Muhammad Firman|date=July 8, 2013|title=The traces and figures behind the Surabaya tram|url=http://ayorek.org/2013/07/the-traces-and-figures-behind-the-surabaya-trams/#sthash.6PvDprYT.dpbs|website=ayorek.org|access-date=February 18, 2022|archive-date=2018-07-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180721073355/http://ayorek.org/2013/07/jejak-dan-sosok-di-balik-trem-surabaya/#sthash.6PvDprYT.dpbs|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=M.F.

===== Pioneer city bus of Perum DAMRI =====

After the tram operation stopped, the Surabaya City Government began a project to establish and procure regular city bus services bound to fixed routes, in collaboration with the pioneer operator Perum DAMRI. The regular city bus service by Perum DAMRI was officially launched on July 20, 1975 with twenty large buses produced by [[Robur (truck)|Robur]]. Along with the increasing public interest, Perum DAMRI began to increase the number of buses by fifty units in 1976 and 92 units in 1978. Until 1982, the city bus routes increased to nine and were served by 168 buses.<ref name=AtmajaEtAl>{{cite journal|author1=Henrry Jaladara Eka Atmaja|author2=Masliyah|author3=Nugroho Utomo|year=2013|title=Operational analysis of city bus stops on the Purabaya Terminal-Tanjung Perak route (via Darmo highway) according to a review of feasibility standards and accessibility aspects Henrry|url=http://eprints.upnjatim.ac.id/5941/|journal=Civil Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, Veteran National Development University of Java East|access-date=2022-01-14|archive-date=2021-03-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301184455/http://eprints.upnjatim.ac.id/5941/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="DD">{{cite journal|author1=Hikmah Tri Susiloningtyas|author2=Nasution|year=2015|title=DAMRI Dynamics as a Means of Transportation in Surabaya in 1970–1982|url=https://ejournal.unesa.ac.id/index.php/avatara/article/view/10733/|journal=Avatara, e-Journal of Education History|volume=3|number=1|pages=127–134|doi=|access-date=2022-01-14|archive-date=2022-01-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220106143754/https://ejournal.unesa.ac.id/index.php/avatara/article/view/10733/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="VE">{{cite journal|author1=Alin Wiyudha Permana|author2=Dewa Agung Gedhe Agung|author3=Yuliati|year=2017|title=The development of DAMRI city buses in Surabaya in 1975–1989 and the value of education|url=http://karya-ilmiah.um.ac.id/index.php/sejarah/article/view/54928|journal=Department of History, Faculty of Social Sciences, State University of Malang|access-date=2022-01-14|archive-date=2022-01-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220106143751/http://karya-ilmiah.um.ac.id/index.php/sejarah/article/view/54928}}</ref><ref name="TS">{{Cite news|date=January 20, 2017|title=Memories of DAMRI, City Buses, and Mass Transportation Surabaya|url=https://www.jawapos.com/features/20/01/2017/kenangan-damri-bus-kota-dan-transportasi-masal-surabaya/ |newspaper=[[Jawa Pos]] |access-date=February 18, 2022|author=Taufiqurrahman|editor=Thomas Kukuh|archive-date=2022-01-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220107033939/https://www.jawapos.com/features/20/01/2017/kenangan-damri-bus-kota-dan-transportasi-masal-surabaya/|url-status=live}}</ref> The nine newest city bus routes are:

===== Double-decker buses =====
In 1981, Perum DAMRI began operating five [[double-decker bus]] routes using buses produced by [[Leyland Motors]]. A year later, Perum DAMRI added two new routes, along with the inauguration of the patas class city bus service. By 1983, the number of double-decker bus routes had increased to ten different routes. After operating for eight years, all double-decker bus operations were stopped since 1989. One of the contributing factors was the infrastructure on arterial roads that still did not support the operation and affordability of double-decker bus transportation. All bus units belonging to the double-decker bus were finally replaced with regular buses.<ref name=AtmajaEtAl /><ref name="DD" /><ref name="VE" /><ref name="TS" />

===== RMB Bus =====
[[File:Bus RMB Perum DAMRI, 2017.jpg|300px|Former regular RMB city bus units with Hino RKT chassis and Tugasanda bodies parked in the Perum DAMRI garage, 2017.]]
One form of improving regular city bus services from the Perum DAMRI operator in the early 2000s was the operation of new method route buses (RMB). The fundamental difference between RMB buses and other buses is that there are various improvements and improvements in service quality such as the addition of interior facilities, security systems, passenger capacity, departure schedules, distances between departures (''headway''), stopping points (stops), payment methods, crew competence, and payroll systems. The RMB bus was designed as a pilot project to improve the quality of other routes. This RMB bus is the beginning of the development of city buses with air conditioning (AC) facilities, so that later these bus units are better known as AC patas city buses.<ref>{{cite journal|author1=James Paul|author2=RA Dewi Iswari P.|year=2002|title=Efforts to improve RMB city bus services in terms of travel time|url=http://repository.petra.ac.id/7144/|journal=Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, Petra Christian University|access-date=2022-03-07|archive-date=2022-03-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220307062904/http://repository.petra.ac.id/7144/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|author=Rudy Setiawan|year=2004|title=Efforts to improve RMB city bus services in terms of travel time|url=|journal=National Planning Engineering Seminar II 2004 Postgraduate Program of East Java Veteran National Development University}}</ref>

As of July 5, 2007, Perum DAMRI has begun to gradually rejuvenate regular patas class city buses using patas class units with facilities [[Air conditioning|air conditioning (AC)]] and automatic doors. The initial stage was carried out by replacing twenty regular city buses on route P1 with city buses on route PAC1. Following on April 3, 2012, ten regular city buses on route P8 were also replaced with city buses on route PAC8.<ref>{{cite news|author=Marmorittarieta Stiltaurantia|date=April 5, 2007|title=20 units launched: New DAMRI buses, air-conditioned and pickpocket-free|url=https://www.suarasurabaya.net/kelanakota/2007/Bus-Damri-Baru-Ber-AC-dan-Bebas-Copet/|publisher=suarasurabaya.net|access-date=February 18, 2022|archive-date=2022-01-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220116031519/https://www.suarasurabaya.net/kelanakota/2007/Bus-Damri-Baru-Ber-AC-dan-Bebas-Copet/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Purna Budi Nugraha|date=April 30, 2012|title=DAMRI launches 10 units of AC patas buses|url=https://kabarbisnis.com/photo/283700/damri-luncurkan-10-unit-bus-patas-ac|publisher=kabarbisnis.com|access-date=February 18, 2022|archive-date=2022-01-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220116030137/https://kabarbisnis.com/photo/283700/damri-luncurkan-10-unit-bus-patas-ac|url-status=live}}</ref>

===== Women's bus =====

As of April 30, 2012, the Surabaya City Government in collaboration with Perum DAMRI began operating a special regular city bus service for [[women]] or called a women's bus. The service aims to minimize cases of [[sexual harassment]] and criminal acts against women in public transportation. The number of units provided by Perum DAMRI for the service is thirteen large buses. As of July 2, 2012, the women's bus began operating using six buses on the PAC1 route. Low passenger occupancy has resulted in the number of buses operating continuing to be reduced. Until July 13, 2012, only four women's buses were operating. Ineffective operations and the absence of feedback in the form of evaluations and long-term plans from the Surabaya City Government caused this service to slowly stop operating. The women's bus units began to function again as regular city buses by transporting passengers of various genders.<ref>{{cite news|author=Moch.

Perum DAMRI in collaboration with the [[Sidoarjo Regency]] Government inaugurated the Trans Sidoarjo service (as part of the development of the Trans Gerbang Kertasusila agglomeration transportation) with a total of thirty large buses with a high deck design (''highdeck'') assisted by the [[Ministry of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia|Ministry of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemenhub RI)]] on September 21, 2015.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Yudha Friyanka|year=2017|title=Transportation politics in urban areas: A study of the relationship between government and operators in bus rapid transit in Sidoarjo Regency|url=https://repository.unair.ac.id/68191/|journal=Jurnal Politik Muda|volume=6|number=3|pages=252–261|doi=|access-date=2022-08-30|archive-date=2022-08-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220830035851/https://repository.unair.ac.id/68191/|url-status=live}}</ref> Trans Sidoarjo is a transportation system based on [[Bus Rapid Transit|''bus rapid transit'']] (BRT) using fast, cheap and air-conditioned (AC) buses in the area around Sidoarjo. The Trans Sidoarjo route connects Purabaya Terminal with [[Porong Terminal]] via Toll Road, [[Terminal Larangan]] and [[Tanggulangin, Sidoarjo|Tanggulangin]]. Low passenger occupancy has caused Perum DAMRI to suffer losses, so it has gradually reduced the number of operating buses to ten units. Since the PPKM due to the [[Coronavirus disease 2019|Covid-19]] pandemic, Trans Sidoarjo has stopped operating. In 2020, all Trans Sidoarjo bus units were converted to regular city bus routes PAC4 and PAC8.<ref>{{cite news|author=Nur Hadi|date=September 21, 2015|title=Trans Sidoarjo Bus Officially Operates Today|url=https://bisnis.tempo.co/read/702394/bus-trans-sidoarjo-resmi-beroperasi-hari-ini|publisher=bisnis.tempo.co|access-date=February 18, 2022|work=[[Tempo.co]]|editor-first=Endri|editor-last=Kurniawati|archive-date=2022-01-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220115062823/https://bisnis.tempo.co/read/702394/bus-trans-sidoarjo-resmi-beroperasi-hari-ini|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite thesis|author1=Bintang Iman Prakoso|author2=Wahju Herijanto|year=2016|title=Evaluation of the performance and service of the Trans Sidoarjo bus|url=http://repository.its.ac.id/1893|journal=Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember November|access-date=2022-01-14|archive-date=2022-02-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220217214731/https://repository.its.ac.id/1893/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author2=Titis Jati Permata|date=January 18, 2018|title=Not Interested, Trans Sidoarjo Buses Diverted to Transport Passengers to Tanjung Perak Surabaya|url=https://surabaya.tribunnews.com/2018/01/18/not-interested-trans-sidoarjo-buses-dialihkan-angkut-penumpang-ke-tanjung-perak-surabaya|publisher=surabaya.tribunnews.com|access-date=February 18, 2022|author=Nuraini Faiq|editor=Titis Jati Permata|work=[[Tribunnews|Tribunnews.com]]|archive-date=2022-02-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220217210736/https://surabaya.tribunnews.com/2018/01/18/tak-diminati-bus-trans-sidoarjo-dialihkan-angkut-penumpang-ke-tanjung-perak-surabaya|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author2=Parmin|date=December 10, 2018|title=Trans Sidoarjo Bus Departure Complained About, Passengers Choose to Sleep Inside Bus|url=https://surabaya.tribunnews.com/2018/12/10/trans-sidoarjo-bus-departure-passengers-choose-to-sleep-in-the-bus|publisher=surabaya.tribunnews.com|access-date=February 18, 2022|author=Nuraini Faiq|editor=Parmin|work=[[Tribunnews|Tribunnews.com]]|archive-date=2022-02-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220217205923/https://surabaya.tribunnews.com/2018/12/10/trans-sidoarjo-bus-departure-passengers-choose-to-sleep-in-the-bus|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=M.

==== Route lines and service operators ====
===== Service classes =====
[[File:Perbedaan warna bumper pada unit bus kota di Surabaya.jpg|thumb|The bumper color on each regular city bus unit in Surabaya indicates the travel class identity on the bus. Dark blue bumpers are used by economy bus units, while red-orange bumpers are used by patas bus units. However, AC patas bus units do not use this identity, but instead maintain the original bumpers produced by the bodywork company.]]
Regular city bus services in Surabaya are divided into three levels of [[travel class]] based on differences in accommodation quality. The order of service classes from the lowest is [[Economy class|economy]], [[Business class|patas]], and AC patas. Economy buses only have routes on [[arterial roads]] in the city, the fare is cheaper than the class above it, and can accommodate standing passengers (if the seat capacity is full). The express bus (an acronym for fast–limited) has a route on arterial roads and [[toll roads]] in the city, travel time is faster than economy buses, and carries limited passengers according to the maximum seat capacity. While the AC express bus is a express bus with additional facilities in the form of [[Air conditioning|Air conditioning (AC)]]. Most of the AC express bus units in Surabaya are units owned by Perum DAMRI. Express bus units that are no longer roadworthy and are more than fifteen years old will be replaced with AC express bus units gradually.<ref>{{cite web|author=Handhika Eko|date=July 10, 2019|title=Don't know what classes are on the bus? check first so you don't miss out|url=https://www.mobilkomersial.com/read/1400/Don't-Know-What-Classes-Are-On-the-Bus-Check-First-So-You-Don't-Miss-It|website=mobilkomersial.com|access-date=September 14, 2022|archive-date=2022-03-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220329132857/https://www.mobilkomersial.com/read/1400/Don't-Know-What-Classes-Are-On-the-Bus-Check-First-So-You-Don't-Miss-It|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Anton Hari Wirawan|date=November 16, 2017|title=For those who don't know what a patas bus means, read it quickly! rather than being called nerdy|url=https://www.gridoto.com/read/221004130/for-those-who-don't-know-the-meaning-of-fast-bus-read-than-being-called-nerdy|website=gridoto.com|access-date=September 14, 2022|archive-date=2022-03-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220329142357/https://www.gridoto.com/read/221004130/for-those-who-don't-know-the-meaning-of-fast-bus-read-than-being-called-nerdy|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author1=Arif Nugrahadi|author2=Aditya Maulana|date=April 20, 2021|title=Listen, these are the fares for the Patas bus route Surabaya-Yogyakarta|url=https://kompas.com/otomotif/read/2021/04/20/063900915/simak-ini-tarif-bus-patas-jurusan-surabaya-yogyakarta|website=kompas.com|access-date=September 14, 2022|archive-date=2022-03-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220329084810/https://www.kompas.com/otomotif/read/2021/04/20/063900915/simak-ini-tarif-bus-patas-jurusan-surabaya-yogyakarta|url-status=live}}</ref>

===== Inactive route =====
Regular city bus units in Surabaya have their own platforms or departure lanes at the Purabaya Terminal since the revitalization of the terminal building in March 2013. The number of platforms provided is ten lanes, adjusting to the number of regular city bus lanes with high passenger occupancy. The ten route lanes are still operating routinely in the period 2013–2020.<ref>{{cite journal|author1=Dadang Supriyatno|author2=Ari Widayanti|year=2010|title=Performance of city bus services in Surabaya City|url=https://media.neliti.com/media/publications/144649-ID-kinerja-layanan-bis-kota-di-kota-surabay.pdf|journal=Jurnal Transportation|volume=10|number=1|pages=43–52|doi=10.26593/jtrans.v10i1.374.%p|doi-broken-date=9 January 2025 |access-date=2022-01-06|archive-date=2022-01-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220106143434/https://media.neliti.com/media/publications/144649-ID-kinerja-layanan-bis-kota-di-kota-surabay.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> However, all regular city bus units on all routes have stopped operating since the Surabaya City Government implemented [[Large-scale social restrictions in Indonesia|large-scale social restrictions (PSBB)]] and [[Enforcement of restrictions on community activities in Indonesia|enforcement of restrictions on community activities (PPKM)]] due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia|Covid-19 pandemic]] in this city.
