The questionnaire was analyzed for descriptive statistics (frequency), and the secondary data were reviewed. The results highlighted that dependency on private transport was higher than the public bus. Also, it showed that residents regularly use public bus service for work and education purposes every day. They usually walk from their house to the bus stop more than a standard distance (400 m). In addition, users of public buses have unpleasant perceptions of safety and security. The current study is significantly vital for transportation relevant authorities and policymakers to improve the safety and security of public buses. 2020 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/96755/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/96755/1/MohammadFaisalAmiriMFABU2020.pdf.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:142798 masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Faculty of Built Environment & Surveying
