Abstract
Malaysia faces the challenges of increased private vehicle ownership, which may draw negative impacts in the long run. Public transportation systems and land use must be integrated and strategised to reduce private transport dependency. The government has emphasised promoting a shift to public transport. Rail-based Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is part of the government’s efforts. To encourage the use of public transport, the system must support mobility and continuous accessibility of services. This study, therefore, aims at investigating the factors that may influence the use of rail-based public transport and to reflect the experience of rail-based users in TOD design. A multiple-case studies method was employed, and a questionnaire survey was performed through simple random sampling at five rail stations in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. Results demonstrated that TOD for rail-based public transportation requires the provisions of certain facilities, which may increase the public’s preference in choosing rail-based as their commuting medium.
