PurposeThis paper seeks to examine the relationship between service quality and behavioural purchase intentions in the public‐sector transport industry in Spain.Design/methodology/approachThe study first identifies five distinctive research streams in service quality. An empirical analysis is then carried out in which the SERVPERF scale is adapted to the study of service quality in the public‐sector transport industry. The study then examines the relationship between service quality and purchase intention using an aggregated ordered logit model.FindingsThe findings confirm a relationship between the five dimensions of service quality and purchase intentions.Originality/valueThe study provides a useful guide to research into service quality by identifying five distinctive streams of research on the field. The study also contributes from a methodological perspective by offering a measurement scale for service quality in the public‐sector transport industry. Finally, the study contributes to studies of perceived service quality by providing an aggregated ordered logit model, and by confirming the link between service quality and behavioural intention in a public‐sector context.
