Abstract

The growing level of tourist activities in the Pante Menye Danau Lut Tawar area, located in Central Aceh Regency, is not supported by sufficient public transport options designed for tourism. This research seeks to develop efficient routes, create operational frameworks, and evaluate Vehicle Operating Costs (VOC) along with suitable fares for eco-friendly tourist transport. The analysis of route selection and macroscopic transport modeling was conducted using PTV Visum and ArcGIS software via the PuT Assignment method. After simulating the route network load with PTV Visum, it is suggested to operate Route 1 (through Kebayakan) over a distance of 23 km, using a small bus with a capacity for 14 passengers. The operational schedule is intended for 10 hours each day (07. 00 - 17. 00 WIB), aiming for a speed of 40 km/hour.  Based on the analysis using Visum software, the best route for Pante Menye Lake Lut Tawar tourist transportation was selected, namely Route 1 (via Kebayakan), by visually observing the resulting load. Route 1 (via Kebayakan) is 23 km long. This route serves: Jl. Pengulu Gayo - Jl. Lebe Kader - Jl. Abdul Wahab - Jl. Sp. Kebayakan-Bintang. The recommended vehicle type to meet tourist needs and is adjusted to the road dimensions is a Small Bus with a capacity of 14 passengers. The tourist transportation operates 10 hours per day (7:00 AM - 5:00 PM) WIB. The Pante Menye tourist transportation operates at an operating speed of 40 km/h. This route has a travel time of 35 minutes. The number of vehicles required is four with an 18-minute headway
