Public transportation also plays an important role in the movement of people from one place to another.

Therefore, the objective of this paper is to look at the concept of accessibility in general and the mode of public transportation services is to be looked into in particular. This study uses secondary sources to explain the concept of accessibility in general and the mode of public transportation services specifically. Among the secondary sources used in this study are journal articles, books, theses and reports. Therefore, content analysis was implemented in this study to unravel the concept of public transport accessibility in depth. The results of this study found that the concept of public transportation accessibility is influenced by several aspects such as social, economy and politic.
