Abstract

There are a lot of factor that contribute to discomfort towards passenger especially in public transport. The crowdedness and the structure of the train can give the impact towards the environment (noise and indoor air quality) and inertia inside the train. When in public transport such as buses, trains, airplanes, the passenger’s convenience should be prioritized. The goals of this project are to establish of information on risk factors that contribute significantly to discomfort while riding moving railway transport, to assess through questionnaire survey regarding the information on factors that contribute significantly to discomfort inside the train, to interpret data and information obtained by each section of the questionnaire using statistical analysis tools associated with descriptive statistics and correlation. This project is run in commuter train of KTMB for several months. This project is more focused on the survey that has been provided to passengers on this train. As many as 130 questionnaires have been given to women passengers but only 97 questionnaires are valid to be analysed. From the results, all the factors mentioned affect the discomfort while on the train even though the effect is minor. However, indoor air quality is more likely to affect the discomfort of passengers in the train. There are also suggestions to the passengers as well as the management of KTMB due to the result from this project.
