摘要

This paper describes two perspectives to improve the passenger experience.The passenger satisfaction pyramid is introduced,consisting of the base of the pyramid(dissatisfiers)focusing on time well saved and the top of the pyramid(satisfiers)aiming at time well spent.The challenge in planning and design of public transport services is to find the most efficient(set of)design choices.Depending on the context this might either mean focusing on the top or on the bottom of the pyramid.We found that influencing and enhancing the qualities of the satisfiers is far more important than traditional studies showed us.For stations,regression analyses show that dissatisfiers are responsible for explaining almost half of the total score of the station and satisfiers are responsible for the other half of the scores passengers give for the station.We still have to put a lot of energy in getting the basics right,starting in the planning phase,but then we are not allowed to lean back.We have to keep investing in qualities like ambience,comfort and experience which makes the customers truly happy at the end of the day.
