Assessing Bus Performance in Greater Kuala Lumpur is the second paper of Phase 1 of the Greater Kuala Lumpur Mobilities (GKLMOB), a multi-method research programme examining how people experience public transport in their daily lives. This paper introduces a Bus Performance Index (BPI) to examine how buses actually perform on the road. While rail services form the backbone of the network, buses act as critical connectors. The analysis shows that variability in bus performance, especially early departures and inconsistent headways, plays a major role in affecting commuter trust. When bus services are unpredictable, the entire public transport journey becomes harder to plan around.
