This research examines how Linguistic Landscapesigns affect passenger accessibility and comfort. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method, and data is collected through field observations, photo documentation and passenger interviews. Then, the data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman (2019) technique, data reduction, data display, and verification. The results of this research show that most of the signs at the three stations are bilingual signs in Indonesian-English, followed by monolingual signs in English and Indonesian. The Linguistic Landscapesigns at this station have proven effective in providing information that is easy to understand and easily accessible to local and foreign passengers. These signs also increase accessibility and comfort for passengers at the station.
