The primary goal of this paper is to identify the influence factors of public transportation (PT) competitiveness as related to potential passengers through an analysis of travel intentions. The logistic regression model is utilized to analyze PT travel intentions of people who commute daily by car in Shanghai, China. Through comparing the service quality of PT and of car from five aspects (i.e., comfort, timeliness, reliability, economics, and safety), the significant influence factors are identified. The results reveal that the difference in service quality between PT travel and car travel is insignificant for safety and convenience, while comfort, reliability, and economics matter most to the willingness to travel via PT. In addition, increasing the cost of car travel and improving the service quality of PT are both helpful in attracting car users to switch travel mode and enhancing PT competitiveness. The findings and suggestions will provide support to decisions in PT development policy making.

This paper aims to measure the quality of the services delivered by a court by assessing the satisfaction of court users and service providers, i.e., magistrates and court officials. For that purpose, a case study was carried out and data were collected by means of a questionnaire based on the SERVPERF instrument, in which perceived service quality is measured, considering court users, magistrates, and court officials’ perceptions of post-service performance. One hundred and fifty-eight questionnaires were successfully returned. An in-depth interview was later conducted to the court administrator to gain a richer understanding of the results achieved and ask follow-up questions. Overall, findings revealed that court users, magistrates, and court officials clearly have a positive view of the services provided, although improvement is needed, particularly in the court’s facilities and technological equipment. The current research sheds some light on the potentialities and difficulties of assessing service quality in the judiciary and contributes to the validation of the SERVPERF instrument in this context.

This paper explores the difficulties of building a service-oriented government by taking the evaluation results of public service satisfaction of Guizhou province in 2019 as an example. This paper finds that building a service-oriented government is the process of improving the quality of public service in an all-round way. With the steady improvement of the public service quality in China, the public’s expectation of the public service quality has been improved by changing from the original “yes or no” to the current “good or not”. In order to speed up the construction of service-oriented government, government departments should pay attention to the change of public demand and take the comfort, richness and transparency of public service as the key points of quality improvement.
