The Government of Indonesia is currently developing more modern urban transportation systems to address mobility challenges in urban areas. One of the systems being developed is Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). A key challenge in BRT implementation lies in route planning and service operation patterns. This paper evaluates the BRT route planning stage by comparing trunk–feeder and direct service network configurations. For this purpose, a public transport assignment model was developed using the Connection Search Algorithm (CSA) method. The analysis was applied to a BRT planning case study in Batam City using PTV VISUM software. The results indicate that the trunk–feeder system is more suitable for public transport networks with moderate demand levels and service capacity, whereas the direct service system is more appropriate for networks with high demand volumes and service capacities.
