Effective public transportation depends on the system components efficiency and it’s consider very essential to overall transportation network. Terminals as one of important component in the urban transport structure is selected to be the theme of this research, it is going to focus on bus terminal building in order to evaluate the nature of existing services and what is required to provide good transit services. The research is going to apply one of the famous building assessment concepts which is Post Occupation Evaluation (POE) in Larkin bus terminal as case study in order to have subjective and objectives feedback about the provided services, their quality and how to improve the terminals conditions. Due to urban transportation problems generally in Malaysia which is related to private transportation and poor utilities quality, the study emphasize on how to decline the private mobility and encourage more people to use public transport.
