Manuscript type: Research paper. Research aims:This study aims to examine the predictors of passengers' behavioural intention in using railway services. It also attempts to identify whether these predictors differ among consumers of different age groups. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: A survey is conducted to collect data from the passengers using the KA Commuter Line (KRL) Jabodetabek. The 213 respondents are divided into two age segmentations comprising young and old. Data are analysed separately. The proposed model is tested quantitatively through multiple regression analysis and the independent sample t-test. Research findings:The results show that different age groups have different evaluations and they use different determinants for gauging the railway services. Perceived value emerges as an important determinant of customer satisfaction among the younger age group whereas service quality is the determinant for the older age group. Both groups, however, consider corporate image and customer satisfaction as determinants of behavioural intention. Theoretical contributions/ Originality: This paper contributes to existing research on public transportation from a marketing perspective. It extends on previous works by adopting age segmentation to examine passengers' perception, evaluation and behavioural intention of using the railway services in Jakarta.
