Consumers more satisfied with public transport despite service hiccups

Taxis, buses and trains got higher ratings.

Despite the unprecedented MRT breakdown which happened in July, customer satisfaction for land transport still increased in Q2 according to the Customer Satisfaction Index of Singapore by the Institute of Service Excellence at the Singapore Management University.

Satisfaction with taxis rose by 4.3% to 65.9 points, while customer satisfaction with public buses rose 4.1% to 60.9 points.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
