Sustainable public transportation (SPT) is crucial for national development, environmental preservation, congestion reduction,
and promoting economic growth. Indicators related to SPT form the foundation of sustainable mobility. Selecting appropriate indicators to measure sustainability in Public Transportation (PT) is essential,  especially in developing countries where local conditions and structural constraints differ from global standards. The significance of this research lies in the development of context-appropriate sustainability indicators customised to the demands and structural realities of developing nations (the West Bank, Palestine, as a case study), thereby filling a gap in trustworthy frameworks for assessing and improving SPT. The study employs the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate and align sustainable transport indicators for developing countries, incorporating
experts’ judgment to select the most relevant indicators. This method
enables the comparison and prioritisation of indicators based on their
importance. Additionally, the study compares these indicators with the Sustainable Urban Transport Index (SUTI) to assess their alignment
with international frameworks and applicability in developing contexts. Key priority indicators identified include active mobility, average trip distance, air pollution, and service reliability. The findings provide a structured and adaptable framework to guide sustainable public transport planning in developing countries.
