good manager that’s why practical knowledge is needed.

Therefore the research product is an essential requirement for the student
of MBA. This research project not only helps the student to utilize his skills properly learn field
realities but also provides a chance to the organization to find out talent among the budding
managers in the very beginning.
Transport is the essential convenience with which people not just connect but
Progress also. Throughout history, people's progress has been sustained on the convenience,
speed and safety of the modes of transport. Road transport occupies a primary place in to-day's
world as it provides a reach unparalleled by any other contemporary mode of transport.Gujarat
State Road Transport Corporation has occupied the unique place in the map of world’s
transportation. GSRTC serves the role of lifeline across the state of Gujarat.
The study, “An Analysis of customer satisfaction of State Road Transport
Corporation in Gujarat,” throws light on the service provided by GSRTC over agiven period
of time. The main motto behind this study is to contribute the service among customer,
employees and state government.

Introduction

GSRTC serves the role of lifeline across the state of Gujarat.Over past 52 years of
its existence, it has proved to be a dependable mode of transportation in every nook and corner of
the state. It is providing services in most of the rural areas of the state. The environment has
thrown up GSRTC to the challenges like productivity improvement, mark orientation and
financial engineering. GSRTC has been trying hard to face the new challenges through
vigorously pursuing a process of technical and managerial up gradation.

Various controllable and uncontrollable factors affect the performance of the
GSRTC. It is hypothesized that by controlling at least controllable factors GSRTC can improve
its operational performance and thereby customer service. The main motto behind performance
review of GSRTC is to contribute in improving performance of GSRTC and provide best service
to its customers and satisfy the needs of customers behind the transportation problems.

Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation has played a pivotal role in the
economic growth of the state through operating an extensive passenger transport network and
reaching out to villages. It provides direct employment to approximately 52000 people whose
professional skills are kept in high regard even by people outside GSRTC.

It has achieved remarkable performance in the face of heavy odds and its services
are cost effective. Thus, GSRTC has tried to reconcile the twin objectives of community service
and financial viability. It has built up a large fund of goodwill from people of Gujarat. It has
brought transport service to the doorstep of villagers in most remote parts. But in recent years the
popular expectations have soared. In the open market economy, the expectations of people with
respect to frequency, quality and range of services have become substantially higher.

Literature review

Inspire of the fact that transportation plays an important role in the economic,
cultural, social and industrial development of any nation, transport sector has not received due
consideration of the researchers in the past. However, at present, Universities and various
research institutes like Central Road Research Institute, Central Institute of Road Transport,
Association of State Road Transport Undertakings, Special division of Planning Commission and
Ministry of Surface Transport etc. have taken special interest for the researches in this sector.
Several studies have paid attention to the Transport Industry. The existing literature related to
present topic can be viewed from the different perspectives as Review of Literatures within India
and Review of Literatures abroad India. Some of the selected literatures are reviewed in
thefollowing pages:

LDRP-ITR Page 9

GSRTC

A. Review of Literatures within India

1. M O Mathew in his book on Rail and Road Transport in India emphasized that the
efficiency of the transport Industry as a whole is determined by organizational considerations
in the context of unit sizes. He also opined that transport, being a public utility industry, is
regulated by Government policies in many ways, of which some have a direct or indirect
impact on the evolution of size.

2. Kalyanaraman and Sehgal have examined a few methods for estimating future road traffic.
They advocate two methods, viz., mechanical and analytical. The mechanical methods
simply project forwards the past trends assuming that future experience is direct function of
past experience, whereas analytical methods classify and analyze the several related
components or factors that have caused the historical trend pattern.

3. Satyanarayana has observed that the cost of service of road transport depend upon the size
of the fleet, the vehicle condition and the length and road condition. His study attempts to
find out the inter-relationship between these factors on the basis of the data collected from a
reprehensive sample of motor vehicle operators in Andhra Pradesh. He has observed that the
size of the motor transport unit has been a fundamental factor influencing the cost of
operations of motor transport industry.

4. Manjula Singh has observed in her study that, I India, the operating ratio (revenue-
expenditure) is always above 100 for rail and less than 80 for road transport. She
recommends a well-coordinated road transportation system on the basis of such factors as
assessment of demand for roads on vehicle requirement, distance from main roads, and
coordination of local bodies, land surfaces regional development and employment
considerations.

5. Sharma, in one array of questions fundamental to effectiveness in any social service, probes
the questions: what are we trying to do not only today but for tomorrow and next year and for
the unforeseeable future? How do we best use the talents of our staff and how should they be
rewarded? Instead of talking about our duty to the passenger, can we find out how to get him
across Delhi at lowest costs in both time and money?

6. R. R. Khan presents a broad outline of the network of transport system in India. He covered
a wide range of information falling within the broad sphere of the subject matter of transport
management. Apart from continuing systems approach, a model to build up a comprehensive
transport system and demographic data for transport planning, the book sets out benchmark
data and provides an analytical study of several vital areas of transport management.

7. Srivastavapresented the historical development of various modes (air,water, road and
railways) of transport in India. He has attempted todiscuss various operating variables like
rates, fares, low productivity, stateregulations, administration, competition, financing, aspects
of differentmodes of transport. He has analyzed the effect of efficient, cheap and well-
coordinated development of transport system on Indian economy.

8. Baig, Natees and Dr. Iqbal B.A. in their book on Transport as a constraintfor Agro –
Industrial Development in Uttar Pradesh, have pointed out thattransport provides both
backward and forward linkages to the economy ofa region or a state or a country. The
dependence of India and more so ofUttar Pradesh on agriculture provides large scale
opportunities fordeveloping agro-based industries and the same requires adequateavailability
of transport infrastructure.

9. Sudarshanam Padam discussed in detail, the history of bus transport inIndia, various forms
of organizations in State Transport Undertakings, itsmanagement and performance by way of
comparison from 1970-1980 inAndhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Karnataka State
RoadTransport Corporations. He also identified the problems in performance.

10. The National Transport Policy Committee (NTPC) studied on“Passenger Road Transport
in India”, taking the cross-sectional data of 31undertakings for 1976 – 1977 and finds that the
unit cost was mainlyinfluenced by two variables namely fleet utilization and vehicle
utilization.The Committee advocated for a direct exchequer subsidy to urbantransport
undertakings in view of the social benefits that they extend.

11. Central Institute of Road Transport (CIRT), Pune, contributed a paper toa seminar on
“How to Make STUs Financially Viable?”, held byAssociation of Road Transport
Undertakings, New Delhi, identified theproblems of interest burden, constraints on
increasing fare, leakages oftraffic revenue, and traffic management as major problems in the
way ofeffective management of State Transport Undertakings and made somepracticable
suggestions.

Studies Abroad India

1. Tripp Alker H, in his book on Road Traffic and its Control, examined the traffic
problem and relation of Road to Rail. Sea and Air Transport and Science of Traffic
Control to reduce accidents and smooth running of the traffic. Research Methodology

2. Lowe has done a study on the development of transportation system inJapan. He has
dealt with the transport and communication system duringthe Tokugawa Era (1600-1686)
and has described the process of thedevelopment certain features which ultimately helped
the establishment ofmodern transport in Japan.

3. A study made by the Ministry of Transport, Scottish DevelopmentDepartment
highlighted that the free flow of traffic at reasonable speedrequires planned improvement
of urban road systems. The study alsosuggested constructing secondary means of access
to enable goods andservice vehicles to load and unload at the stops.

4. Locklin concentrated on the study of rail-road systems. He opined thatthe Government
ownership of transport system facilitates the planning andexecution of transport system
very effectively and the Government, in oneway or the other is capable of providing
necessary capital.

5. Sharp C.N. in his work on Transport Economics, examined the studiesundertaken in the
field of transport system of U.K. and studied a number ofbasic problems like transport
economics, transport investment, transportpricing and reduction in accident rate.

6. Payne, tracing the history of development of transport in Europe suggeststhat the
transportation facilities are established by the private sector on thebasis of free
competition and, therefore, the private sector should beResearch Methodologyallowed to
continue as such. He also discusses the implications of Treatyof Rome on transportation
in Europe.

Research methodology

 Research objective

The first step of any research project is to define the problem that is to be
answered by the research project itself. This is the most important part of the research
process, as it provides a focus and direction for the project and identifies the specific
information the reader is looking at I n the project. Actually, it enables the reader to
understand exactly what the project is attempting to achieve. If the definition of problem
is unclear and objectives are poorly defined, the result could be waste of time, money,
energy and resources. In short, research objective is a pre-requisite for any research
project.
There should be a clear-cut definition of research objective. Our project,
therefore, is not an exception. Our research project THE SATISFACTION LEVEL OF
THE PASSENGERS USING G.S.R.T.C. SERVICE, has certain specific and general
objective which mainly consist of primary objective and secondary objectives. There are
as follows:
 Primary objective:
 To study about the customer satisfaction on the services provided by the
G.S.R.T.C.
 To find the major problems faced by the passengers using G.S.R.T.C.
 The aim is also to reveal the administrative problems.

 Secondary objectives:
 To throw some lights on the performance of G.S.R.T.C.
 To find infrastructural problem.
 To reveal growth prospects of G.S.R.T.C.
 To find out fare structure and various types of buses provided to the passengers by
G.S.R.T.C.

METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION

 The data has collected in two ways:-

 Primary data: -

Primary data is to be collected to know the Customers Perceptions, preferences
and belief. Primary data are those, which are collected for the first time, and they are
original in character. A suitablecombination of Questionnaire techniques,
Personal interviews & discussions with the respondents are used to collect the required Primary
data. Findings of the primary data focus on the Consumers of the G.S.R.T.C. bus passengers
Primary data gives higher accuracy and facts, which is very helpful for any research and its
findings.

 Secondary Data:-

The secondary data are those, which are already collected by s omeone
for some purpose and are available for the present study. Secondary data are to be
collected from the magazines, websites and other such sources.

TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES OF DATA COLLECTION

 Questionnaire method:-F o r t h e D e s c r i p t i v e t yp e s o f r e s e a r c h t h e
t o o l s f o r c o l l e c t i n g d a t a f r o m t h e s a m p l e s i s questionnaire method.
Questionnaire includes both closed-ended as well as open-ended questions.Passenger
perception about G.S.R.T.C. bus service. Questionnaire includes 16 questions.

 Observation method: -Some data are not getting directly from the respondents so
we have to use the observation method. For this research the observation method is also
used to collect the information.

 HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDY:-

According to William Emory, “A hypothesis refers to propositions formulated for
empirical testing.” In almost the same words Goode and Hatt state that, “A hypothesis is a
promotion, which can be put to test to determine its validity.”

G. A. Lund Berg corroborates that, “A hypothesis is a tentative generalization the
validity of which remains to be tested. In its most elementary stage, the hypothesis may be any
such, guess or imaginative idea, which becomes the basis for action or investigation.” The
definition rightly specifies that the hypothesis provides the basis for the research work and the
entire research work is oriented towards the hypothesis.

SAMPLING PLAN

After deciding on the research approach and instruments, it is necessary to design a
sampling plan. This plan calls for three decisions:-

 Sampling unit:-
Who is to be surveyed? It should be defined in a research the target population
that will be sampled. Once the sampling unit is determined, a sampling frame must be developed
so that everyone in the target population has an equal chance of being sampled. To fulfill this
purpose, I had taken consumers as a sample.

 Sampling procedure:-

It is a way through which sampling is done. There are various procedures
like random, systematic etc. The sampling procedure for my study is random sampling.

 Sample size:-
How many people should be surveyed? Large samples give more reliable results
than small samples. However, it is not necessary to sample the entire target population or even a
substantial portion to achieve reliable results. Samples of less than 1% of the population can
often provide good reliability, given a credible sampling procedure. So, I had decided to take the
sample size as 100 from consumers of Ahmadabad & Gandhinagar district who travel by
G.S.R.T.C. bus.

Research design

 Types of research:

There are certain types of research which can be classified according to
their purpose as well as by the research strategy used. A research can be classified into
the following categories:

 Exploratory research
 Conclusive research(descriptive research)
 Explanatory research

 Exploratory research;

Exploratory research is an initial research which explores the possibility of
obtaining as many relationships as possible between different variables without knowing
their end-use applications. Here, a general study will be conducted without any specific
objective.

 Conclusive research (descriptive research ):

In this type of research, problem of a research is formulated and specific
objectives are established. This type of research may be a result of exploratory research.
At the, the research draws definite and concrete conclusion for implementation.

 Explanatory research:

Here, in this type of research, the emphasis is given on studying a situation
or a problem in order to explain the relation between to particular variables. In short,
situation is there, and you are just expected to explain the situation in order to reveal the
solutions.

LDRP-ITR Page 21

GSRTC

Our research project falls in the second category. As the project has
definite problems and specific objectives, our project is of descriptive, in nature. At the
end of our research, specific conclusion and recommendations will be drawn in order to
effect implementation.

 Flowchart of research design;

Data collection

Data collection is a very important part of the research project process. It
is through data, with the help of which we would be able to analyze the problem of facts
and figures.

Actually, the reliability of research decision depends on the quality of data
gathering. By taking this concept into consideration, the data can be classified in to
primary data and secondary data. We have used both the type of data, as far as our project
is concerned.

 Primary data
 Secondary data

 Primary data;

Primary data are generally information collected or generated by the
researcher for the purpose of the project immediately at hand. When the data are
collected for the first time, then that data is called primary data. There are certain
advantage and disadvantage of primary data. There follow;

 Advantage:

 The information is more reliable
 It provides a firsthand use information

 Disadvantages:

 Expensive – costly and very difficult
 Expensive in terms of time, energy, and resources available

We have use the following primary data in our project:

 Observation
 Questionnaire


LDRP-ITR Page 23

GSRTC

 Secondary Data:

The secondary data are those, which are already collected by someone
for some purpose and are available for the present study.

 Advantages:
 It involves less cost
 Less time and less efforts

 Disadvantages:
 Not more reliable compare with that of primary data
 Possibility of biased and many result in wrong decision making

We have used the following secondary data in our project:
 Internet
 Journals
 Magazines
 Government publications
 From various bus depots

Hypothesis Test:-

LDRP-ITR Page 59

GSRTC

Swot analysis:

 Strength
 Availability of abundant low cost land near country stations provides possibility for
development
 Less damage of goods compared to other modes of transport
 Largest commercial employer with almost 1.5 million staff
 It transports over six billion passengers and almost 750 million tons of freight annually

 Weakness

 Passenger sector is loss making
 Accidents and delays cause a dent to the image
 Facilities not comparable to international standards still

 Opportunity

 It can capture large chunk of container traffic by introducing block container trains
operating at passenger speeds
 It’s 70% of revenue and most of its profits comes from freight sector and there is a
tremendous growth in emerging companies, hence has a great future for freight sector
 Operating ratio has been decreasing drastically in last 10 years

 Threats
 Increase in allowable gross weight of road vehicles
 Possible introduction of double road trailers

 High accident rates

Learning - during the project

Coming to the learning experience it was a great time to be with the organization.
The working environment and the support that I got from the superiors and the colleagues were
appreciable.

Before start my study on G.S.R.T.C. I was very much susceptible about it but
very much relevant to the organization also.

For that matter my communication skills improved so was my personnel skills.
One thing I realized was that every day brings new experience in the life and you do not have to
wait for things get done but you have to push the things so that they could be done.

Limitations of study

 The research study has got the following limitations:

 This study is based on secondary data derived from published annual reports of GSRTC
and as such its findings depends entirely on the accuracy of such data.

 This study provide glimpse of the past performance and the future conclusion may not be
correct since several other factors may affect the future operations.

 As this study is limited only to customer service analysis of GSRTC, this study will not
be relevant to other SRTC in India.

 This study based on external analyses only, being outsider inside viewsMay not be duly
considered.

 Researcher has tried best to remain faithful and kin. But after all being a human, physical
constrains may affect the result and as such the result of the analysis may not be sent
percent correct to be relied upon.

 The report is limited to the extent of information supplied by the organization.

 Due to time constraint a small sample size was used which may be limitation of this
project.

 The study is limited only to GUJRAT STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION.

FINDINGS
We finally hereby conclude that the passengers who travel in G.S.R.T.C. are
actually helpless. The passengers face a number of problems during the journey period. Some of
the major problems they face are as follows:

 Long waiting period
 They have to push themselves to get into bus.
 Passengers have to stand during the journey.
 They are not given service at their satisfaction level.
 In almost all cases, it has been found that the level of satisfaction from the
service of G.S.R.T.C. has been equal or less than satisfaction. The following table will show
this correlation between satisfaction and expectation.

Satisfaction < expectation Almost all the cases
Satisfaction = expectation Only in a few cases
Satisfaction > expectation Less happened

 The passengers usually get an unsatisfactory reply from inquiry in charge officer.
 Sometimes the bus gets breakdown or punctured in between route, the passengers have to
push the bus after getting down from the bus.
 Sometimes, travelling in G.S.R.T.C. becomes time consuming and the passengers have to
wait till the bus comes. So, a passenger gets bored. They find it better to travel in private
vehicles.
 Sometimes, the buses do not make their predetermined stops. So, for that particular stop,
passengers do not get bus and have to wait for the next bus to come.

LDRP-ITR Page 63

GSRTC

 The passengers face a shortage of buses for a particular region, (especially in rural areas.)
 The majority of passengers travel in G.S.R.T.C. is students and jobbers. The main
problem they face is that of seating arrangements.

RECCOMENDATIONS

 G.S.R.T.C. should introduce new fuel efficient buses. We agree that G.S.R.T.C. has been

successful in terms of new buses. But, still, the passengers face problems in terms of

shortage of buses.

 G.S.R.T.C. should make effective administration and management of buses.

 The benefit of specialization and division of work can also be taken.

 The complaints of passengers should be analyzed carefully and the response should be

replied instantly.

 G.S.R.T.C. should establish faithful, healthy and better relationship with passengers by

giving better services.

 G.S.R.T.C. should make effective route guide model. They should analyze it very

carefully. They should arrange buses at place where there is a shortage of buses.

 G.S.R.T.C. should make implementation of rules and regulation and follow it very

strictly. Also, staff should be well trained to make passengers feel satisfied and to behave

honestly and sincerely.

 G.S.R.T.C. should allow passengers to take part in management i.e. online reply,

suggestion box, telephone conversation etc.

 The pick-up stands should be clearly and fairly placed and should be kept neat and clean

by G.S.R.T.C.
