| Summary: | Nowadays, the expansions of train networks in Malaysia are dynamically developed. In the future, the
railway networks are predicted to give the important role in the development of a sustainable
transportation system in this country. Still, Malaysian is facing the challenge to improve the railway
networks’ reliability especially that relates with the accessibility to the train stations. Electrified Train
Services (ETS) is the first high speed intercity train system in Malaysia. Until the end of 2014, Ipoh is
the last stop for Electrified Train Services (ETS) for train that bound for Kuala Lumpur –Ipoh. Due to
the increment numbers of the ETS users, the problem of access and egress the station keep on exists.
This study is focused on the 1000 ETS passengers’ in order to investigate their mode choice to access
and egress the Ipoh Station. From the result, the majority of the users preferred to use private car for
access (75.7%) and egress (79.6%) the train station. Taxi was the popular choice for public
transportation compare to bus for both access (5.2%) and egress (12%). T-test analysis shows the
significant different between the access and egress group in terms of travel distance from the origin
location to the train station. This might be influenced by the factor of land use between Ipoh and
Kuala Lumpur. |
