DEBATE TOPIC: 1.

Curritiba Bus System : The Future Transport System of Karanganyar

PRO

Speaker 1:

Good morning, Mr. and everyone. I'm Dinda from Group 2. I am here to express my
opinion on the Curitiba bus system as the future transportation system of
Karanganyar.

The Curitiba bus system is a rapid transit bus transportation system developed in
Curitiba, Brazil. This system has proven successful in reducing traffic congestion,
improving accessibility, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The Curitiba bus system has several advantages that make it suitable for
implementation in Karanganyar. First, the system is relatively affordable to build and
operate. Second, the system can be integrated with other modes of transportation,
such as trains and public transport. Third, the system can be adapted to
Karanganyar's geographical and demographic conditions.
With these advantages, I believe that the Curitiba bus system can be the right
solution to overcome transportation problems in Karanganyar. This system can help
improve community mobility, reduce traffic congestion, and improve environmental
quality.

Speaker 2: Thank you. I'm Eilliya from group 2. I am here to express my opinion on
the Curitiba bus system as Karanganyar's future transportation system.

I agree that the Curitiba bus system has several advantages. However, I also see
some challenges that need to be considered before this system is implemented in
Karanganyar.
One of the biggest challenges is the cost of development. The Curitiba bus system
requires considerable costs to build dedicated bus lanes and bus stops. In addition,
the Curitiba bus system also requires a change in people's mindset. People need to
get used to using public transportation as their main mode of transportation. Despite
these challenges, I believe that the Curitiba bus system can still be the right choice
for Karanganyar. With good planning and implementation, this system can provide
great benefits to the people of Karanganyar.

 Thank you. I'm aikoo from group 2. regarding the Curitiba bus system, as
Karanganyar's future transportation system.
I agree with dinda and eilliya's opinion. The Curitiba bus system does have its own
advantages and challenges. However, I believe that these advantages outweigh the
challenges.
With good planning and implementation, I believe that the Curitiba bus system can
provide great benefits to the people of Karanganyar. This system can help improve
community mobility, reduce traffic congestion, and improve environmental quality.
Therefore, I support the implementation of the Curitiba bus system in Karanganyar.

KONTRA

Speaker 1:

Good afternoon, Mr. and everyone. I am Dinda, representing Group 2. On this

occasion, I will express my opinion against the implementation of the Curitiba bus
system in Karanganyar.

The Curitiba bus system is a transportation system developed in Curitiba, Brazil.

This system is known for its efficiency and ability to reduce traffic congestion.
However, I argue that the Curitiba bus system is not suitable for implementation in
Karanganyar.

First, Karanganyar has hilly roads. This will make it difficult to build bus lanes. The
bus lane must be built with a slope that is not too steep so that the bus can drive
smoothly.

Second, Karanganyar has a large area. The bus lane built in Curitiba only covers
urban areas. Meanwhile, Karanganyar has a wider area, so it will require a longer
bus lane. This will require greater costs.

Third, Karanganyar has a small population. According to data from the Central
Bureau of Statistics, the population of Karanganyar in 2023 was around 1.2 million
people. This number is still much smaller than the population of Curitiba which
reaches around 2 million people. This means that the number of bus passengers in
Karanganyar will be less.
Therefore, I argue that implementing the Curitiba bus system in Karanganyar is not
appropriate. A more suitable transportation system for Karanganyar is a more
flexible public transportation system, such as city buses or online-based public
transportation. This transportation system can cover a wider area and can adjust its
route to the needs of the community.

Speaker 2:

Thank you. I'm Eilliya, I'll give my response to the opinion of ..................

I understand that the Curitiba bus system has some limitations, such as hilly roads
and large areas. However, we believe that these limitations can be overcome.

To overcome the large area, we will build bus lines in stages. We will start with bus
lines that connect urban areas with densely populated areas.

We are also confident that the Curitiba bus system will be able to attract people in
Karanganyar to use public transportation. This system offers various advantages,
such as affordable fares, comfort, and speed.
We believe that the Curitiba bus system will be the future transportation system of
Karanganyar. It will reduce traffic congestion, and improve air quality.

Speaker 3:

Thank you. I am aikoo from group 2, I agree with dinda's opinion that the Curitiba
bus system has some limitations. However, I also agree with eilliya's opinion that
these limitations can be overcome.

Basically, the implementation of the Curitiba bus system in Karanganyar can be

done. However, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth study first to ensure that this
system can run effectively and efficiently.

The study must include several aspects, such as topography, area, population, and
community needs. This study must also involve various parties, such as the
government, academics, and the community.

I hope that the Karanganyar Regency government will conduct an in-depth study
before deciding to implement the Curitiba bus system.Kajian tersebut akan menjadi
dasar yang kuat untuk memastikan keberhasilan penerapan sistem bus Curitiba di
Karanganyar.
