Transportation planning is a key to the economy and production; it makes mobility more accessible and enhances the social and economic interactions. On the other hand，the increase of urban population，pollution and other negative impacts directly compromise the existing transportation systems and endanger the future transportation systems in developing countries.
This research report examines the challenges facing urban transportation planning in Juba，South Sudan. Furthermore，the research provides some suggestions to reduce the existing problem. This has been done by looking at the design and plan of Juba City，coordination of transportation systems and car dependency.
Suggestions for addressing the challenges facing urban transportation planning in developing countries have been examined by adopting the holistic approach. Such approach has shown to be effective in solving the challenges facing transportation planning in the cities of developing countries such as improving public transport，provision of off-street parking，enforcement of traffic laws and regulations and restrict car use.
Moreover，approaches to alleviate challenges facing transportation planning should be designed for specific cities and urban transport planners must understand that models and solutions used for cities in the developed countries may not be applicable to cities of developing countries.

@@Transportation system of Suva City, the capital city of Fiji is under challenge of
managing the growing numbers of private cars, highly competitive modes of public transport
and rising costs.An average family directs 15％ of their income to transportation.Bus is the
main mode of transportation for middle and low income earners.Traditional bus systems,
which provide fixed route service, fixed schedule and un-coordinated services through many
to one operational service characterize the bus system in Fiji.Over the past decade, major
urban centers have experienced continued spatial redistribution of commercial activities and
population growth which have impacted the mobility patterns, shifting to multiple origins to
multiple destinations.Therefore a mismatch between traditional bus services and spatial
redistribution of activities exists.This paper approaches this issue in a case study conducted
on two bus routes in the city of Suva, Fiji.The overall direction is the introduction of
integrated transport planning for a small island developing country specifically focusing on
bus services operating in the area of study by way of an inductive approach.A stated
preference survey was undertaken to gauge commuter preferences regarding key bus service
attributes such as travel time, bus fare, bus stops and transfers.The concluding section
highlight improvements to the current system to provide an efficient bus system.
