| Abstract | This work reports an observation on vanpool commuter services in Bangkok. Vanpool commuter services, a unique service in Thailand, are offered by a join of van owners. Vanpools are similar to carpools in that all passengers share the ride. As an element of the transit system, vanpools offer reduced travel costs as it can save fuels and tolls. Each vanpool service conveys hundreds of thousand passengers with specific route of origin and destination, as riders can also get off at a station along its route. This study uses questionnaire as a study tool, to ask 100 passengers about their satisfactions in term of safety, convenience, and reasonable fares. The questionnaire has 5 Likert scales, with 5 being the highest satisfaction level and 1 the lowest satisfaction level. From the study, passengers have moderate satisfaction with the services, with 3.4 score. With hundreds of thousand users, vanpool commuter services make Bangkok a livable city in aspects of public transportation, and environmental issues. |
