Exclusive bus lanes have been widely regarded as an effective way to promote bus priority and improve the service quality, while they have not attracted more passengers to travel by bus in China. Also, more attention is usually paid to the infrastructure and facilities of exclusive bus lanes, but not much attention is paid to the passenger satisfaction of public transit with them. Therefore, this paper studies how to improve the service quality of public transit with exclusive bus lanes from a perspective of passenger satisfaction. A Structural Equation Model (SEM) was developed to investigate the mechanism of relationships between passenger satisfaction and the factors influencing the service quality of public transit with exclusive bus lanes. A total of 2087 respondents from Shanghai, China, participated in this study. Also, a comparison model of different groups using public transit including captive riders, choice riders, and captive by choice riders was established. Results show that passengers were dissatisfied with the current service of public transit with bus lanes, while they would prefer to take buses in the near future. In addition, travel environment, facilities, and convenience, rather than operational efficiency, had significant effects on passenger satisfaction. Through the comparison model, it was found that choice and captive by choice users might prefer public transit with bus lanes and captive users might be unable to bear the financial burden of private motorized travel. “Crowdedness in the buses on bus lanes during peak hours” especially for choice riders and “driving stability” especially for captive riders were the improvement direction for attracting more passengers to travel by bus. The results and the proposed policies of this study can benefit for the planning and operations of exclusive bus lanes in Shanghai and other similar cities around the world.

This chapter investigates the relationship between service quality of Baitul Maal wat-Tamwil (BMT) and the satisfaction of small and micro-enterprises in Indonesia with perceived benefits as the mediating variable. Primary data is collected from 454 small and micro-enterprises located in the western part of Jawa Island of Indonesia and the CARTER model is adopted to test the satisfaction of small and micro-enterprises upon the services provided by their patronized BMT as Islamic microfinance institutions. By using the structural equation model, the finding confirms that perceived benefits fully mediate the relationship between service quality of BMT and small and micro-enterprises' satisfaction.

This paper proposes a new scale for assessing traveler experience in air travel. Here, passenger experience is measured through travelers' perception of service quality, considering it as a chain of services. The new scale is called air travel service quality (ATSQ). It considers three service quality stages: departure airport service, airline service, and arrival airport service. This paper applies the ATRS scale to examine service quality in domestic travels in a Colombian context. Given that traveler’s experience plays a crucial role in determining passenger’s satisfaction, a structural equation model (SEM) was applied to examine the relationship between service quality stages, customer satisfaction, and behavioral intentions. Adding the passengers' perception of the arrival airport to the integrated service quality measurement is considering one of the main contributions of this study. The finding of this research confirmed that all three stages of air travel service have a significant, positive effect on passenger satisfaction. The scale found in this research should provide useful information for developing effective operational and marketing strategies for the air travel market. In this way, airports and airlines could better understand how traveler’s perception of service quality may affect each choice related to which departure airport, airline, and arrival airport combination to choose from.
