Abstract: Abstract Public transportation has become the most practical choice for people for reducing and controlling air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions caused by traffic congestion. However, the high density of people and the poor thermal environment in transportation buildings may affect passenger comfort, travel efficiency, and health. Accordingly, it is recommended to be considered in both building design and planning projects. This paper provides a very careful review of existing thermal comfort research on different types of transport station buildings. Firstly, a wide range of combined keywords in different accredited academic databases were searched. Then, the methods of thermal comfort assessment in transportation buildings, relevant influencing factors and improving solutions were scrutinized. Finally, the shortcomings were discussed and a few useful recommendations for future work are presented for greater improvement.
