Abstract

This study goes beyond conventional assessments of passenger satisfaction in the road transport industry by employing the Delphi Technique. By leveraging the collective wisdom of industry experts through a structured, iterative process, the research aims to identify and unravel the nuanced factors influencing passenger satisfaction. Through a comprehensive analysis, the Delphi Technique offers a dynamic lens to explore and prioritize the multifaceted elements that contribute to a positive passenger experience. The findings provide actionable insights for stakeholders, operators, and policymakers, enhancing the understanding of key determinants that transcend traditional evaluations of road transport satisfaction. ‎
