Kajian ini dijalankan bagi mengkaji kebolehsampaian pejalan kaki untuk menggunakan perkhidmatan bas Rapid Penang di Pulau Pinang. Di dalam kajian ini, beberapa parameter seperti sosio-demografi, jarak berjalan, masa berjalan dan tahap kepuasan pegguna dikaji bagi menentukan faktor signifikan yang mempengaruhi kebolehsampaian pejalan kaki berjalan untuk menggunakan servis pengangkutan bas awam. Dalam tempoh masa selama dua minggu, kajian soal selidik terhadap 400 responden telah direkod bagi tujuan kajian ini. Data yang dikumpulkan telah dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan analisis statistik melalui Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). Analisis berbilang regresi digunakan dalam analisis statistik bagi menentukan faktor yang signifikan mempengaruhi kesanggupan pejalan kaki untuk berjalan bagi mengakses servis pengangkutan bas awam berdasarkan keadaan alam sekitar dan infrasturktur semasa serta keadaan alam sekitar dan infrastruktur yang dibaikpulih pada masa hadapan. Berdasarkan keputusan analisis yang diambil daripada analisis berbilang regresi, jenis perhentian bas, sosio-demografi, jarak berjalan, masa berjalan, tahap kepuasan pengguna dan matlamat perjalanan adalah faktor signifikan yang mempengaruhi kesanggupan pejalan kaki untuk berjalan bagi mengakses servis pengangkutan bas awam. Selain itu, hasil dapatan kajian ini juga telah dapat mengenal pasti jarak maksimum, minimum dan purata perjalanan yang diambil oleh pejalan kaki untuk berjalan ke perhentian bas sebagaimana juga dengan masa yang diambil.
