Abstract

The study aimed to identify challenges in rural public transport services in Oromia West Wollega zone, focusing on supply and demand, tariff issues, service quality, and implementation of transport laws. Data was collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews with commuters, transport authorities, and traffic police to analyze the issues comprehensively. The research used a mixed method approach, including random sampling and purposive selection of key informants, to analyze data from different perspectives. Findings revealed imbalances in supply and demand, overpayment in tariffs, issues with comfort due to overloading, and a lack of adherence to transport laws by owners.
