In this chapter, the concepts of passenger, public transport, intercity bus, quality, service, expectations, perceptions, service quality, satisfaction and travel behaviour are explored. Furthermore in order to improve on service quality in the intercity bus transport industry, a clear understanding of its meaning and nature was ascertained. This involves looking at the perspectives, dimensions and attributes/indicators of service quality. It is also necessary to understand the consumer’s expectations
