Many studies have been conducted to reduce carbon emission on the world. Large numbers of private vehicles help to increase greenhouse gas emissions, traffic congestion, physical inactivity, high temperature and air pollution. For these reasons, an urgent need to reduce carbon emission produced by private vehicles by switching to public transport. This study presents the effect of policies of reducing bus dwelling time, increasing parking fees and fuel cost private vehicles users. A survey was conducted at Kuala Lumpur city centre (KLCC) for respondents who uses private vehicles. Then, the data collected was analyzed by using logit model. The results showed that increasing fuel cost by 33, 99.5 of respondents switch to public transports while increasing parking cost by 25, 99.5 of respondents switch to public transport as well. Finally, 50 of respondents switch to public transport when decreasing bus dwelling time to 60. These government policies contribute to reducing private vehicles by making private vehicles' users switch to public transport. © 2021 Taylor's University. All rights reserved.
