Abstract

Despite the dramatic increase in online motorcycle taxis (OMTs) in many developing countries, empirical studies on passenger satisfaction toward OMTs have been overlooked. This study proposes a model of OMT passenger satisfaction where service quality and perceived value are determinants and behavioral intentions are the consequences, compared across three passenger segments based on service usage: light users, medium users, and heavy users. This research surveyed 500 OMT service users from Bandung city, Indonesia. The service quality factor analysis reveals three dimensions comprising people, physical, and application. The proposed satisfaction model is assessed by utilizing variance-based structural equation modelling, partial least squares. Examining the overall sample, this study confirms the association between service quality, perceived value, passenger satisfaction, and passenger’ behavioral intention. Further, the results of this study disclose that the relationships between these constructs differ across service usage segments. The identified relationships highlight the crucial role the factor “people” plays in determining passenger satisfaction towards OMT services, especially for heavy users. The implications of these findings, for both theoretical development and managerial practices, were examined. © 2020 World Conference on Transport Research Society
