Public transport hubs are places where public transport passengers transfer between modes. Several transit hubs in Jakarta, including the Dukuh Atas area, face physical integration issues such as the absence of minimum standards, unclear circulation, suboptimal spatial layout, and the lack of an operational evaluation instrument. This study aims to develop an instrument for evaluating the physical integration of public transport systems at transit hubs from the pedestrian perspective. The study uses the Large-scale Analytic Hierarchy Process (LAHP) to determine category and indicator weights, document analysis to formulate minimum criteria, and a user acceptance survey to assess the acceptability of physical criteria in the context of transfers between MRT Dukuh Atas and Sudirman Commuter Line Station. The results show that the Walking Distance and Transfer Time category has the highest weight of 0.4648. The three indicators with the highest global weights are Transfer Time (0.2320), Walking Distance (0.1362), and Mobility Assistance (0.0966). The user acceptance survey produced an overall mean score of 4.19 on a 1-6 scale, with 11 out of 12 indicators significantly accepted above the neutral point of 3.5. The final instrument combines LAHP global weights, minimum criteria, field measurement procedures, and a condition scoring scale, allowing it to evaluate the physical condition of transit hubs and identify priority improvements for intermodal transfer facilities.
