Metro Kapsule is a mass public transport that runs on a special track, so it can effectively reduce the level of traffic congestion in large cities that are densely populated. Before it can be used for public, Metro Kapsul must meet any government-regulated testing to ensure the safety aspect of passengers. One of the regulated tests is the dynamic test or comfort test. The government regulation that must be met by Metro Kapsule is the Regulation of the Minister of Transportation No. 175 of 2015. In addition, other standards are also used as a reference for testing and analysis as well as standard operating procedure (SOP). The testing process will be carried out in accordance with the standard operating procedure that have been made and used standardized test equipment on Metro Kapsul prototype in test track at Subang. The measurement data will be analyzed using MATLAB R2013b and compared with the selected standards. The results of the analysis show that for ASCE 21.2-08 only the longitudinal acceleration passed the test. According to ISO 2631 standard, there are no resultant r.m.s acceleration below 0,315 m / s2. According to Sperling's ride index, ride quality for longitudinal and lateral accelerations is below 2,5 while for vertical acceleration, it is above 2,5. According to the fatigue derceased proficiency boundaries curve, passengers can feel comfortable at average for 1 hour for longitudinal acceleration, 16 minutes for lateral acceleration, and 16 minutes for vertical acceleration.
