Abstract

This paper examines public perceptions of transportation services in Indonesia’s big city through social media such as news channels, social networking sites, Facebook, and Twitter. The objectives are twofold: first, extract the pros and cons of public perceptions through mainly social media; second, such perception can be useful inputs for the government to provide a better service for society. This qualitative research applies five SERVQUAL indicators to analyze transportation services with two opposing perceptions: positive and negative. The five indicators are tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The finding demonstrates that most people deliver positive perceptions rather than negative complaints. The wordclouds analysis supports this thesis. The majority of public comments always mention these words: friendly, easy, safety, cheap, complete, good, rapid, and clean. Nonetheless, some protests still exist because the words “jam, accident, not maintained well, and lack of punctuality,” are discovered. In addition to positive inputs, negative inputs can be utilized by the government to improve service quality.
