The urban public transportation in Yogyakarta is the only Trans Jogja Bus which operates 129 units serving 17 routes. In its development, the Trans Jogja Bus operation had obstacles, specifically the sections number and intersections occur traffic congestion and mixed traffic, which resulted in the poor the performance of the Trans Jogja Bus in timely service. Road-widening and new road construction are very difficult to be implemented in Yogyakarta, caused by the limit area. This condition requires handling in form of study about the existence of a priority system for Trans Jogja Bus operations on the road. The most possible three solutions in the application of the Trans Jogja bus service priority system. First solution is by applying the ATCS (Area Traffic Control System) system at each intersection that is traversed by Trans Jogja buses. The second is by using an online application system that could provide information to Trans Jogja bus passengers on the existence of a bus, thereby reducing passenger waiting time. And the last is by implementing the flow bus lane and contraflow bus lane on 17 Trans Jogja bus routes. To realize the solutions, implementation of the priority system for Trans Jogja buses require to executes in stages, specifically in the short and medium term (by applying the Trans Jogja bus section) if the evaluation shows increasing the performance of Trans Jogja buses in travel time, headway, and load factor services, then the priority application could be applied in the long term or all Trans Jogja bus routes.
