By conducting a physical survey of parking areas, bus routes and current service problems. The data were interviewed by questionnaires of 920 for factor analysis, followed by one-way analysis of variance and logistic regression analysis. The results of the study, when using the factor analysis method to find the factors affecting the satisfaction and motivation of users and non-users, there were only 3 groups of factors that were statistically significant: service, physical and time. It was found that the shuttle buses that should be improved the most were red lines, blue lines and green lines, respectively. Therefore, in order to increase efficiency and increase users, it is important to focus on physical enhancements such as improving the facilities at the bus stop, bay parking lane improvements and improving the bus routes to cover more areas.
