Town made pedicab, horse-drawn buggy and oplet or classic car become no longer the only means of public transportation for Tulungagung residents. Then the machine vehicle which was used as a means of transportation was pioneered by the Harapan Jaya Otobus Company. The history of the Otobus Company itself cannot be separated from the hard work of Harjaya Cahyana who set up the company in 1977. The Harapan Jaya Otobus Company only relied on 3 fleet units at that time. These three buses were used to serve the back and forth route from Surabaya-Kediri-Tulungagung. Because of Harjaya's perseverance and his hard work, the company was gradually able to widen the reach of route and made it become the pride of Tulungagung society.
This research aims to: (1) To explain the development of the Harapan Jaya Otobus Company in Tulungagung in 1977-2000 (2) To describe the role of the Harapan Jaya Otobus Company in supporting the socio-economic life of Tulungagung society in 1977-2000.
