INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The need to use transportation becomes one of the most basic needs of human since
all primary needs and pleasure can be reached by people easily (Wessel, 2012).
With the increasing need for traveling, the number of cars bought is increasing as
well. In 2013, the total numbers of land transportation in Indonesia reach 104.11
million units (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2014), whereas, in 2015, the number increases
become 121.39 million units (DataBoks, 2017). In Jakarta only, the number of cars
and motorcycles keep increasing by 12% annually or 5,000 – 6,000 units daily,
(Ramadhan, 2015). This situation explains the traffic jams that are always
occurring in Indonesia.
To avoid the traffic jams, people nowadays choose using public transportation
taxis, motorcycles or buses due to famous congestion on the roads. Taxi is the most
preferred transportations customer used due to its convenience and comfort which
the taxi provided, where motorcycles don’t. By using taxi service, the driver could
fetch the customers from their home and drive them to their destination directly;
Blue Bird, one of the taxi brands in Indonesia, has operated in Indonesia for more
than 40 years with several achievements that make them the top of the market. Blue

which is online booking transportation, appears. Uber, one of the online booking
service where the customer could use or book via online, yet still receive cheaper
price than normal taxi does. Uber provides an excellent offer for its drivers, which
result in the big amount of people interested to join as Uber driver. Hence, the
numbers of cars in Uber umbrella keeps increasing, in which the company uses to
maintain or improve their performance. With more than 5 years, Uber itself has
gained $5.9 billion and its value reached $50 billion globally (Bernhard Jr, 2015).
KM of trip distance which is equal to 15,000 times of world traveling (Damar, 2016;
Pratama, 2016).
By using online booking transportation, the driver could fetch the customers from
their home, using only with their phone and could see their waiting time to prepare
themselves. This benefit makes people start to use the online booking transportation
situation and traffic jams in the areas. (Rubrik, 2016; Sindonews.com, 2017)

revised become Minister Regulation Number 108 of the Year 2017 and
implemented since 1st November 2017 (Idris, 2017; Ika & Fauzi, 2017). The
regulation mainly focused on the limitation of the quota of the operated vehicles,
same level tariff limits for both kinds of taxi services and law-based ownership
has suggested that the Ministry of Transportation should revise the tariff limits and
should remove the regulation on vehicle quota as well as the law-based STNK. The
justification is that the regulation itself could affect the market situation, inflation,
These regulations of transportation surely could ease the competition on these two
transportation expert stated that the regulation doesn’t protect the interest of the
service users and lack of customer aspiration with no further study on the effect of
the regulation on the service provider, the drivers and the customers (Usman, 2017;
CNN Indonesia, 2017). Considering these facts, it is shown that the government
doesn’t really consider the customer during the development of the regulations. It
is logic that a government should release regulations that favor its people’s
prosperity because the people or the customers are the voters of the government.
With the almost same price tariff level and a limited number of operated cars, it is
important for the taxi service provider to secure their customer purchase or usage

the intention to purchase their brand, obtaining customer satisfaction and loyalty
are very important for both variables could create customer intention to repeated
purchase on the service (Amin, 2016; Yap, Ramayah, & Shahidan, 2012).
The theoretical basis for the purchase intention is provided by a few theories, like
First, considering TRA and TPB, it stated that an intention could be influenced by
the attitude towards behavior, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control

in measuring the service quality in two kinds of taxi services and for that, the
questions have been borrowed and adapted from the questionnaire, which is also
known as SERVQUAL.
With the customer expectation and service quality as the antecedents of purchase
intention, it is also relevant to explore if the brand reputation or image plays any

In conclusion, the research problem for this study is to evaluate whether customer
expectation and service quality have a determining influence and does brand

Thus, the research objectives are determined based on the research problem, which

The research questions are developed to answers the research objectives, which are;

adapted from ACSI and ECSI models, which to determine customer satisfaction
and loyalty by perceived value, customer expectation, perceived quality, and brand
image. Showed by the models, two main independent variables can be recognized
which are customer expectation and perceived quality. Hence, the research provides
a simplified model which use customer expectation and service quality only to
measure the ultimate result of customer loyalty, which is purchase intention. Also,
For practical contribution, in a situation where the prices are same, this research
could provide customer insight on the transportation service or any other service
industry. Secondly, the research could highlight why a brand is more popular than
others and how a certain brand could sell more by emphasizing service quality.
Next, this study could highlight the importance of customer expectation for the
brands in securing its customer purchase intention. This research also could help in

Purchase intention has been used by some researchers to measure the customers’
attitude or behavior towards a product or service. Zhou et al., (2017) have tested
information value, perceived usefulness and online retailer brand equity. Another
research done by Kudeshia & Kumar (2017), positive eWOM via Facebook is used
to test the brand attitude and purchase intention in Indian smartphone business. In

Moreover, Kudeshia & Kumar (2017) stated that the present and the future time of

The intention is directly linked to the individual actual behavior and represents the
level of individual’s willingness to try and the effort level in implementing the plan
10
to participate in a specific given behavior (Kim & James, 2016). In measuring
customers’ intention and behavior, previous researches have used 2 theories, which
are Theories of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)
(Kim & James, 2016; Liu, Segev, & Villar, 2017). TRA is a theory introduced by
Martin Fishbein and Icek Ajzen in 1980, which suggests that a certain behavior
In the present study, the intention will become the ultimate factor of the research,
(Nikdavoodi, 2013). To measure the intention, the model used attitude towards
positive feeling to act or perform a behavior, depend on their evaluation (Kim &
James, 2016). Whereas, the subjective norm is defined as the social weight’s
certain behavior (Kim & James, 2016). The critical analysis of TRA is discussed
Ajzen later develops and extend the model of TRA, which are called Theory of
Planned Behavior (TPB) in 1991 (Kim & James, 2016). In measuring the behavior,
TPB theory still adapt two dimensions from TRA with a new additional dimension,
which is Perceived Behavioral Control. The model of TPB is shown in Figure 2.2.

In this model, customer satisfaction represents the overall performance, the

In addition, Waddington et al., (2014) stated brand image and brand identity are the
essential elements of brand reputation, which means brand reputation is the result
for the customers who seek social approval from people that recognize the brand
for its superior qualities (Han, Nguyen, & Simkin, 2016). Based on the analysis, the
research will use brand reputation as the moderating variable of this study. The
critical analysis of ECSI has been discussed in the section 2.4 Research Gap.
ECSI brought brand image, but the brand image is named as brand reputation in the
context of this study. According to Han et al., (2016), brand reputation is customers’
quality perception related to a brand name. The authors stated that having a good

Scales and statements used are being discussed in the next section.
Customer Expectation; focuses on what Uber and Blue Bird’s customers expect
before they used the service. It measured by the expectation of the reliability of
Uber or Blue Bird drivers in terms of driving skill, providing a custom service, and
the overall service performance. Scales and statements used are being discussed in

The current study used constructs measurement from service quality, customer
expectation, brand reputation and purchase intention after being extracted and
selected from the literature review. Each variable is measured by a scale consisting

Service quality is measured by five dimensions from Parasuraman et al. (1988), in
items; tangible is measured by five items; empathy is measured by seven items, and
reliability is measured by five items; extracted from Tseng and Wu (2014), Pretince
current study used six items generated from Chiu et al., (2011), Wong and Dioko
(2013) and Turkyilmaz et al., (2013). For brand reputation, the research used six
items, in which three items are extracted from Han et al., (2016) and Molinillo et
al., (2017), whereas the rest three items are constructed and developed by the author
to measured brand reputation in more detail and cover the factors where other items
are lack of. In measuring purchase intention, the study used four items generated
from Zhou et al., (2017), Kudeshia and Kumar (2017), and Jalilvand and Samiei
(2017). The statements were developed in English and later translated in Bahasa.
The validity and reliability of the questionnaires have been checked through a
PILOT Test. Before the questionnaire is distributed, a PILOT test was conducted
on the questionnaire to avoid error in processing the data later. 30 valid respondents
were collected and further the PILOT test is done to confirm the validity and the
3.6.2.1 Reliability
(Kumar, 2010). To simplify, reliability is whenever the statement is used, the result
should be similar. A statement is reliable and acceptable when its Cronbach Alpha
24
surpasses 60% or 0.6 (Asyifa, 2016). The higher the result is, it increases the error-
free percentage, which means the reliability result of the PILOT test is likely to
equal to the final study result. The reliability test result is shown in Table 3.2
To pass the Reliability test, the statements’ Cronbach’s Alpha should above 0.6
(Cronbach’s Alpha > 0.6) and the Cronbach's Alpha if Item Deleted of each item
Alpha Based on Standardized Items). From the Reliability Test result, it is found
that three statements from service quality; which are “Uber/ Blue Bird cars have the
latest equipment; especially GPS” (Tangible), “Every time I hire Uber/ Blue Bird,
I received the same quality of service “and “Uber/ Blue Bird gives me an accurate
and timely information” (Reliability), are removed from the questionnaire since the
Standardized Items). Moreover, two items from customer expectation; which are “I
expect that Uber/ Blue Bird drivers have a pleasant, neat and appropriate
appearance” and “I expect that Uber/ Blue Bird drivers will help me if I need
something” are removed as well because the statements are not fulfilled the
are accepted since the entire requirements to pass the reliability test are fulfilled.

logical link with the research objective and in covering the variable measured. Next,
construct validity is the instruments’ level on how well it measures the variable
studied (Asyifa, 2016). The current research has tested the content validity and the
construct validity. The content validity is done since the statements used in the
questionnaire is taken from several existing theories, whereas the construct validity
is done to ensure all statements are heading to one direction, which is customer
intention to purchase between 2 brands. The predictive validity is not relevant since
In measuring construct validity, a factor analysis was used. Factor analysis referred
construct is acceptable when only one component is shown (Asyifa, 2016). The
Table 3.3: PILOT Test – Principle Component Method Result (Validity Test)
Each dimension and variables are analyzed separately. Based on the result, two
items of service quality, “Uber/ Blue Bird drivers shows interest in solving my
problem” and “Uber/ Blue Bird drivers are always willing to help me” (Empathy)
are removed since the items makes the Empathy dimensions is extracted by two
components and its component 1 and component 2 values have a little different
compared to other statements. In addition, three items from Brand Reputation which
are “Uber/ Blue Bird Brand is reputable”, “I hire Uber/ Blue Bird service because
its reputed service” and “I can always recognize Uber/ Blue Bird Brand” are
26
removed as well because the items makes the variable is extracted by two
components and its component 1 and component 2 value have a little different
compared to other statements. The rest of the items are accepted since the entire
The sampling method used in the current research is convenience sampling which
has an opportunity becoming the sample of this research due to the general need for
transportation (Glen, 2015). The current research used the convenience sampling,
where the questionnaire is purposed for the customers who have purchase Uber or
Blue Bird brand as the current research object. Thus, a question on the brand
distributed and shared to respondents and their peers online, to ensure the
inexistence of bias.
The sample size is determined based on the minimum margin of error, which is 5%.
Based on Sekaran et al., (2001), with the population of transportation users exceed
than 1,000,000 users and using a 5% margin of error, the study should collect 384
responses.
The questionnaire is made using Google Form and distributed digitally to online
booking and conventional transportations; in this case Uber and Blue Bird’s,
areas, in which the customers more than 50,000 people. The questionnaire’s link

In the previous section, the research design, framework, sampling method, data
analysis plan, the validity and reliability test result has been discussed. To test the
hypotheses, in the current section, the data analysis result is discussed, which
divided into 4 tests. First, this chapter was discussed the test result of descriptive
analysis of the total samples, the T-Test analysis, the Regression Analysis and the
From valid respondents, around 14% of its use Blue Bird service the most, whereas
the rest 86% use Uber service. Moreover, there were roughly 60% are female
respondents and 40% are male respondents. From the total valid respondents,
around 38% are teens or below 20 years old, 62% are adults and hardly are elders.
Furthermore, most of the responses are answered by students around 85%, 10% are
Based on the respondents’ latest education level, roughly 65% are scholars while
35% are colleges. Additionally, from the respondents’ income level, around 76%
are low-income people, 20% are middle-income people and 4% are high-income
people.

CONCLUSION
5.1 Introduction
In the previous section, the data analyses and the test result has been discussed. In
the current section, a conclusion is written. First, this chapter discussed the
conclusion and the limitation of the current research. Moreover, it described the
recommendation given for Uber and Blue Bird to face the problem discussed.
Lastly, the current research is discussed the future path where future researches
could discuss.
5.2 Conclusion
The current research discussed a problem that could arise when the government
implemented the regulation on the tariff and number of taxis services; online
booking and conventional. With the possibility of equal tariff and a limited number
of operated cars for both kind of taxi services, securing its customer purchase
Based on the research problem identified, five research questions and objectives are

significant difference between them. Hence, this research could be applied to
The second question is whether service quality impacts purchase intention on the
transportation service, which is found that service quality gives a positive impact
intention. The result found that customer expectation has a positive impact on
customer purchase intention, which is supported by the study done by Nam, Dong,
The fourth question is whether service quality and customer expectation give a joint
quality and customer expectation have a joint impact on its customer purchase
intention, and it is matched with Chiu, Liu, & Tu (2016) study. Based on the result,
it is found that service quality is the is the most important variable of purchase
intention.
The last objective is to confirm whether brand reputation is the moderator of service

intention, and it is supported by a research done by Bang, Odio, & Reio (2014). In
41
5.3 Implications for Transport Industry
The research has many industries and managerial implications. The first implication
is there is no difference in the brand. The second implication is that service quality
is the most important factor. Third, brand reputation gives a moderating impact on
purchase intention only based on service quality. Hence, both Blue Bird and Uber
excellent service quality delivered during the trip. It could be done by conducting a
frequent training, after and during the drivers join the company. In addition, the
service providers should focus on improving their brand reputation as well; since it
gives moderating impact on the customer purchase intention. This could be done
providers, in which will increase the purchase intention, especially on the repeated
purchase intention.
The study is conducted on the focus of transportation service only; specifically taxi

service business, such as hospitality, education, and so on. The future researches
could also include customer complaint/ customer review as a part of the model since
the said variable is another part of customer loyalty besides purchase intention and
intention since taxi services have included application-based booking. Since the
current study focus on JABODETABEK areas, the future research could consider
evaluating the operation of transportation or taxi services in other areas. Lastly, this
study has used multiple regression analysis due to the simple model adapted, where
