Comfortable, Affordable, and Sustainable: Transportation Made Easy at Unpad

Ilmu Budaya / August 20, 2025

Jatinangor, September 3rd 2025— For many students and staff, the daily commute between Bandung and Jatinangor can feel like a journey of its own. Universitas Padjadjaran helps make this journey smoother by offering reliable and affordable transportation options that connect campuses and communities—while staying true to its vision of sustainability.


The Metro Jabar Trans bus has become a trusted companion for those traveling between Unpad Dipatiukur in Bandung and Unpad Jatinangor in Sumedang. Operating from 4:30 AM to 20:10 PM, this service ensures that no matter how early or late your schedule is, there’s always a safe and comfortable ride available.
The ticket prices are designed to be accessible for all. A standard one-way fare costs IDR 4,900, while students and senior citizens (60+) who have registered their data can enjoy a special fare of just IDR 2,000, helping them save on daily commuting costs.
By offering affordable fares, this initiative not only eases the financial burden of commuting but also encourages the use of public transportation over private vehicles—helping to reduce traffic congestion and emissions.
In addition to Metro Jabar Trans, the Damri Bus serves the Elang-Jatinangor route, giving students and staff more choices for eco-friendly transportation to campus.
Even within the campus environment, Unpad provides Odong-odong, a free shuttle service that helps students and staff move easily from one faculty to another. This reflects Unpad’s ongoing commitment to accessibility and the well-being of its academic community.
These transportation services offer more than convenience; they are part of a broader effort to promote sustainable mobility and affordable access to energy. Through these initiatives, Unpad not only provides practical solutions for its community but also contributes to a cleaner, greener future—one ride at a time.
