Driver distraction represents a significant problem to personal driving as well as the public transportation sector. However, the sources of distraction especially in the context of public transport have yet to be widely explored. Thus, the objectives of this research are to identify the sources and investigate the categories of distraction among the intrastate bus drivers.

From this research, it was found that there are 26 sources of distraction which had been discovered from the focus group interview. These sources of distraction are then used in the survey method. From the survey method, there are 6 categories of distraction being found and the most dominant categories are human factor which have 14.06 percentage of variance. Human factor consists of three sources of distraction which are driver's health, comfortability of the driver's seat and condition of the bus. Distraction Risk Index (DRI) had been developed and it was found that there are four sources of distraction that were classified as very high risk. These include the condition of the bus, traffic congestion, driver's welfare and driver's health.
