This paper discusses the impact for the rise of the fuel price on public transports use. The Malaysian government provides fuel subsidies for petroleum, diesel, gas and electricity. This makes the price at the pump is among the lowest in the region with RM1.90 per litre for petrol. Provision of fuel subsidies helps motor vehicle users to pay less for the cost of travel. Besides, private car ownership will increase and would causes serious problem such as congestion, environmental pollution and accidents. Increasing fuel prices is seen as a significant way to reduce the use of private vehicles and to promote people to use public transports. In order to evaluate the impact of this factor, data are taken randomly during peak hours through stated preference (SP) survey method among the users of private transports. Logistic regression has been used to analyse the factors that influence users to switch their trips mode to public transports. It is concluded that with the rising of the fuel prices, it will directly effect the use of the public transports facility.
