Abstract This study aims to determine and prioritize the factors that affect the choice of public transportation modes in Jakarta's satellite cities (Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi, and Bogor) by employing the AHP methods. The paper proposed a study on the impacts of travel cost, travel time, comfort, possibility of access, reliability, and government policies affecting the choices individuals make when they take modes of transportation to travel. The opinions of the decision makers were solicited, and pairwise comparison was employed to obtain relative weights of factors. The most important factors are reliability and regularity (13.89%), followed by comfort (12.61%) and accessibility (11.72%). While travel costs are still important, they stay relatively lower (8.43%) than others, implying that commuters are more concerned with reliability and comfort than cost. Social and psychological were the next highest in the AHP ranking and influenced less daily travel behavior choices. The results contribute to recommendations for policymakers to improve public transport in Jakarta's satellite cities, emphasizing service reliability, comfort, and accessibility. Additional work should be conducted to investigate the effects of environmentalism, digital technologies in transportation, and user segments' preferences.
