| Summary: | This paper investigates specifically what drives young adults to choose Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). From the
perspective of young adults, this paper reveals the real demand and the attraction of MRT. To deliver their thoughts
and opinions effectively, in-depth interviews were performed with 15 respondents among UKM students. The
findings identified the element of low price, convenience, reduced traffic congestion, environmental protection,
time-saving, good condition, safety, high efficiency, good enjoyment and more business opportunities as the
factors for young adults to use public transport. In addition, the research found that inconvenience in a certain
part of the service, insufficient information, small coverage and outdated management as the impeding factor for
public transport usage. |
