Developing the KVSB EasyBus Mobile Application

Manual bus booking management at Kolej Vokasional Sungai Buloh (KVSB) has long caused various issues such as schedule confusion, booking overlaps, and loss of information. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the KVSB EasyBus mobile application as a digital alternative to the existing system. The research design employed the SDLC Waterfall model, which includes phases of analysis, design, implementation, and testing. Data were collected through questionnaires involving 45 lecturers and feedback from 15 application testers. The study found that 95.6% of respondents supported the development of the application, and all testers stated that the app was easy to use, had a user-friendly interface, and enabled smooth bus booking processes. The mean score for ease of use of the application was 4.6, while the manual system only recorded a satisfaction mean score of 2.7. This study proves that KVSB EasyBus can overcome the limitations of the manual system and enhance logistical management efficiency in vocational education institutions. The study also recommends improvements, including the integration of an academic calendar and notification features to maximize the long-term usability of the application.
