In addition to the need for facility location information, the need for a route that can be taken to the
location also be a pretty important thing. Given the obvious route, one can make savings both in terms
of time or cost in the location of the facility to search for. Necessary route there are two kinds of routes
that can be reached by private vehicles and routes that can be reached by public transportation. The
existence of two kinds of routes is needed because the people in Indonesia, especially in Surabaya not
