| Abstract | The public transport system in Malaysia has been declining over the years. Bus stations which were once the hubs of networks since the development of roads and highways are now slowly being marginalised. The reduction of buses on the road is the result of a staggering increase in registered private cars by 32% since 2012 (SPAD, 2015). The role of bus stations as nodal points that influence pedestrian pathways and liveability of an urban context is not taken into account. This research aims to explore the former Central Klang bus terminal, proposing ways to improve the overall transportation network system surrounding the bus terminal and reveal the importance of the bus terminal in its built environment. A case study method was used to analyse the relation between a bus terminal and its urban context. The findings show that due to its well-connected location in the city, the Klang bus terminal can act as a catalyst for the urban rejuvenation of Klang town. If the terminal is designed well, with an efficient spatial layout and convenient user experience, the terminal will not only function as a transportation hub, but also as a community hub for the Klang residents. |
