INTRODUCTION
In this case study, we want to study the statistics of students using transportation in UTM. There are several ways for students to move from one place to another in UTM which are car, bus, motorcycle, bicycle, e-hailing and walking. The purpose of this study is to measure the preference of transportation by students and to encourage students from the faculty of computing to cut the cost in transportation as the economy is falling. Besides that , we also focus on student's satisfaction and preference towards the ways of transportation and its service quality attributes.
OBJECTIVE
- Determine the time taken by students to wait for the transportation.
- Determine rating of students towards their preference of transportation.
- Determine the prefered spot in UTM by the students.
METHODOLOGY
First and foremost, we’ve taken 50 students from the School of Computing as our sample for our case study. We’ve decided to collect the data by using a survey (Smart Survey/Master Survey) in order to spread and share our survey conveniently. This is because students were often using web messaging applications such as Email and WhatsApp instead of being interviewed directly. In order to get a bunch of data within the meantime, we decided to blast our survey through WhatsApp group. Collecting our data by using surveys shows that our data is a primary data type where the data originally originates from the students who filled our survey. We also used R software to display the data that have been collected.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, most of the students choose to move around the UTM by walking. Based on the survey, 32 students prefer walking as a transportation for their daily activities. Meanwhile, bicycles were the least preferred as transport to use often. Consequently, the cost needed for the transportation is not needed since walking doesn’t need to pay anything. Other than that, the time taken for a student to wait for the transport is within 1-5 minutes. This is proven by the majority of students which is 28 students claimed that they just need a short time to take the transport. In addition, 36% of the students also rated their transportation good or agreed because it was convenient. Lastly, the cafe was chosen as students’ favourite spot based on the statistic that has been observed.
REFLECTION
We were given a task to conduct a survey on certain issues or topics within UTM. Our chosen topic to focus on is UTM Students’ transportation as we want to study the statistics of students using transportation in UTM. We spread the survey through WhatsApp Group such as "School of Computing 19/20" where the majority of the participants in the group is first year students. This made our data too biased for first year students only. But we still managed to get a few numbers respondents from the upper years.
We supposedly needed to present our presentation by the end of March. Suddenly corona virus happened to spread widely in Malaysia which causes us, students urge to go back to our home as soon as possible. So we recorded our video presentation at home. It was fun experiencing present-from-home.
