Abstract(s)

This paper reports on a study that explores the relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction in a public transport service taking into account both internal and external perspectives. In order to analyse this relationship, the concepts of service quality, consumer satisfaction and dissatisfaction are assessed. A model of analysis was developed which aimed at explaining this relationship and guide the empirical study. This was based on an exploratory case study of a metro company in Europe.
