Abstract
Less dependency on public transport has caused a high reliance on private vehicles. This is due to several factors including a comfortable aspect, safety, and inconvenient infrastructure and facilities at the bus stop. This paper attempts to identify the significant determinants affecting the bus stop performance by evaluating 123 bus stops based on the developed indicators within maximum walking distance to transit stations along the proposed alignment of Light Rail Transit (LRT) stations. The indicators were adapted from Transport Assessment Indicators and suited with local guidelines which were subsequently developed into Transport Assessment Checklist. 13 indicators in the audit checklist were significantly reduced to five factors containing 12 significant indicators (factor loadings greater than 0.5) through Factor Analysis and Principal Components Analysis (PCA). These indicators were identified to give an effect on bus stop performance. The findings can help solve the low dependency on public transport by emphasizing the significant determinants at the bus stop for future improvement.
