<![CDATA[Student mobility is crucial to transportation dynamics in Banda Aceh. This study analyzes student travel patterns at the Faculty of Engineering, Syiah Kuala University, focusing on origin-destination characteristics, transport modes, and factors influencing mode choice. A descriptive quantitative approach used data from 36 respondents. Variables covered respondent, travel, mode, and mode-choice factors, including practicality, public transport waiting time, service availability, and comfort. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression in SPSS to identify private vehicle choice. Results showed 94% of respondents were male and 56% were 18 years old. Most students lived with family (58%), in private houses (47%) or boarding houses (36%). All respondents’ destination was Syiah Kuala District, with departures concentrated between 06:30 and 08:00 a.m. Distances ranged from 1 to 30 km, with times of 5–35 minutes. Motorcycles dominated travel modes (97%), while public transport accounted for 3%. Practicality (39%) and long public transport waiting times (17%) were the main reasons for private vehicle choice. Logistic regression showed that practicality, waiting time, service availability, travel time, and comfort influenced private vehicle choice, with practicality most influential, whereas travel distance was not significant. These findings indicate dependence on private vehicles due to limited public transport.]]>
