Abstract: Success of public transport service marketers is dependent on how they satisfy their customers by delivering value through quality services. To understand this phenomenon, this study aims to investigate the effect of relationships between service quality, customer satisfaction, perceived value and customer purchase intentions in Bangkok's metropolitan rapid transit (MRT) system. A convenience sampling technique was used to collect the data by distributing the questionnaires to the passengers at various MRT stations, out of which 400 passengers returned the questionnaires. Partial least squares method of structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse the collected data, assess the model and test the hypotheses. All the hypotheses were proven, and the findings confirm that service quality significantly influences passengers' perceived value. Both perceived service quality and perceived value significantly influence customer satisfaction, and all of these significantly influence customers' purchase intentions.
