Investigating the perceived public transport service quality in Singapore

Singapore is known as a land-scarce country with limited space for road capacity. Since the 1970s, the government has embarked on a mission to enhance connectivity through developing a comprehensive public transport infrastructure. After half a century, the government’s effort has been lauded for he...
