Transportation plays an important role in connectivity, facilitating mobility, and increasing the social/economic progress of society, so transportation is an essential part of human life. However, not all levels of society get equal transport affordability, especially for socially disadvantaged groups (low income, no job, low skills, ill-health, poor housing). People disadvantaged by the absence of transport affordability will find it challenging to access essential goods and activities (work, health facilities, education, socialization), thus leading to transport poverty. This condition can happen when marginalized people live far from urban center with poor public transport facilities due to lower purchasing power. These conditions force them to incur higher transportation costs to access urban center. Policy implementation from stakeholders is needed to address the problem of transport poverty and increase transport affordability for disadvantaged communities. This research is a comparative study of public policies on public transportation subsidies in Indonesia and abroad. The research data comes from regulations and work programs related to public transportation subsidies in various cities in Indonesia (Jakarta, Yogyakarta, etc.) and abroad (Bogota, Qingdao, etc.). The research used a descriptive-analysis approach to explore and describe various data sources. The preliminary result obtained in this study is the uneven distribution of policies and implementation of policies related to public transport subsidies in various cities in Indonesia. Moreover, mostly in developed countries, there are more programs related to public transportation subsidies, although no regulations govern these programs. The results of this study can be expected to be considered by stakeholders to design and implement policies that can equalize transport affordability for all levels of society.
