IMPACT OF ENERGY UTILIZATION AND TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF SAUDIA ARABIA

Abstract
Background Public transportation systems are essential for urban mobility, and their performance is often judged by both technical efficiency and user satisfaction. In Kuala Lumpur, understanding how service quality influences commuter perceptions can help improve the system’s overall effectiveness. Objective This study aims to examine the relationship between service quality constructs—service quality for customer satisfaction (SQCS) and service quality for public efficiency (SQPE)—and commuter satisfaction. It also seeks to identify service quality gaps and recommend strategies for enhancing public transport services. Methods A structured questionnaire was distributed to users of buses, Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), Light Rail Transit (LRT), and Express Rail Link (ERL) in Kuala Lumpur. The survey assessed commuter perceptions of convenience, reliability, accessibility, and travel characteristics. Results Analysis revealed significant service quality gaps in convenience, reliability, and accessibility. Travel characteristics also influenced user satisfaction, underscoring the importance of a commuter-centered approach. Conclusion Integrating commuter perceptions into service quality improvement initiatives can enhance both satisfaction and operational efficiency. Recommendations from this study provide actionable insights for policymakers and transport operators aiming to optimize Kuala Lumpur’s urban and intercity public transportation services.
