This dispute has hindered the operations of BRT in the Mamminasata region from working effectively and efficiently.

In order to explore in depth the dimensions of reciprocal relationship relationship between the government and non-government in the implementation of BRT transport policy, this research uses case study. Results of this research show that the reciprocal relationship relationship developed by government groups with non-governmental groups in BRT-implementation policy differs according to the activities, sector, and scope of expertise of each actor involved. In addition, the findings of this research show that actors in BRT policy partook in continuous and democratic dialog in determining expenses paid and benefits reaped by both parties to the aim of improving the effectiveness of the Trans-Mamminasata BRT program.
