For now, we only know the total accidents in our data storage involving public transport in Malaysia. Hence, this study has been conducted to develop the safety index of public transport (express bus) in Malaysia. It is important to know the safety index of public transport (express bus) in this country as compared to other developed countries since express bus is one of the main modes for long distance transportation in Malaysia. Besides, when the fatality index is obtained in this study, it could be used as a guideline or reference to improve the safety level of public transport (express bus) in Malaysia. The data analysis in this study is done using Mileage Deaths Rate Method (MDR) and the measurement unit is in passenger kilometres travelled (PKT).
