The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how public transport amenities in Kuala Lumpur can help the elderly survive and improve their quality of life. The growth in the elderly has an impact on their health. This study employs a quantitative approach in Kuala Lumpur, including a questionnaire instrument. The study sample included 150 older persons aged 60 and up. Multiple regression tests are used to generate descriptive data and draw conclusions. This study focusses on public transport elements that affect the quality of life of the elderly, investigates the relationship between the factors that drive the elderly's quality of life, and proposes solutions to improve the elderly's social well-being. The findings of the investigation revealed that additional factors influence family connections. This finding provides significant markers for the development of a wealthier elderly group and may serve as inspiration for future planning or policy studies. Comprehensive empowerment of the elderly not only enhances their quality of life, but it also decreases their reliance on the government in everyday situations.
