Abstract

• This paper focuses mainly on the use of train by the students attending the universities in Thanlyin Township. The increased use of train can result in the decreasing use of buses (car) by the students, leading to the number of buses between Thanlyin and Yangon City. This will reduce the traffic jam over Yangon–Thanlyin Bridge. This paper identifies the perception of the students on rail transport, the current rail service on this particular segment and the degree of competition between different modes of transportation, particularly between bus service and rail transport service.
