1 - PP6 Diminishing barrier to regional rail transport Model Survey for Customer Satisfaction Analysis in Regional Rail Transport in South Tyrol. Summer session interview results of interview Accademia Europea di Bolzano This project is Viale Druso 1 implemented through the Bolzano CENTRAL EUROPE Program Tel co-financed by the ERDF

2 1 Introduction South Tyrol is located in north Italy, near the boundary with Austria to the north/north-east and Switzerland to the north-west. The two main railways are in Venosta Valley in north west towards Switzerland and on east side there is Pustertal Valley towards Austria. Both of them are surrounded by Alpine landscape and run through cultural heritage of South Tirol. Venosta Valley railway (Bolzano-Merano-Malles) was built in In November 1918 the Italian railway authority was placed in charge of the Venosta Valley railway. A few years later, and for several decades, the Littorina train would travel up and down the valley. In the late 1980s, rumors about the closure of the railway line began to intensify. People had grown accustomed to these rumors ever since they began to spread as far back as Yet this time they seemed more plausible. The Italian railway authority launched a radical streamlining effort in order to cut off the dead branches in the national railway system. On June 9 th, 1990 the Venosta Valley witnessed the local train making its last journey, marking the end of an era. But a new era began when the Provincial Authorities of Bolzano took over the disused railway line. Work was soon under way to revamp the railway line and tunnels, fix the bridges and level crossings and purchase state-of-the-art rolling stock. The Venosta Valley railway was being prepared for the new millennium. On May 5 th, 2005, following a monumental overhaul funded by the Provincial Authorities, the first train began its journey to Mals. Today the line is really useful for commuters and local people, but also many tourists,, outdoor lovers or nature enthusiasts use it. The railway transport was integrated by buses and city buses that connect train stations to city centers and other small villages in the Valley. This railway line could be used more by tourists, especially to support those forms of tourism related to nature. Pustertal railway (Brunico Fortezza San Candido) has been inaugurated in 1871 and the only railway access to Tyrol was the Salzburg-Rosenheim-Kufstein. Alongside this primary function, the new railway line brought new tourists to Pustertal. As a result, towns such as Toblach, Prags and Sexten became extremely popular tourist destinations. In 1908, the Bruneck- Freienfeld electric railway was completed, while the Toblach-Cortina-Calalzo line (also known as the Dolomite Railway) became operational in Today on the Pustertal railway arrive trains from the Austrian Railways, Trenitalia and upon December 2008, the new FLIRT trains (Fast Light Innovative Regional Train) of SAD Trasporto Locale Spa. The Provincial Government 3

3 of South Tyrol purchased eight FLIRT trains that are similar inside and outside to the ones already operating in the Venosta valley, including the official South Tyrol logo. During the summer months, these trains may also carry up to 120 bicycles, while the seats can be reclined and turned into ski holders. This versatility makes them a valid alternative to automobiles, not only for commuters, holidaymakers, excursionists and sports enthusiasts. This line has a high tourist vocation, both for its ski resorts in winter for its peaks in summer. Compared to Venosta Valley, it is used much more from tourists than from commuters, and its railways tracks is much better in terms of logistics, since almost all stations are close to city centers. After these years the Autonomous Province of South Tyrol in collaboration with Trenitalia and SAD, have continued to invest in infrastructure and information to improve the service quality but they have never checked and investigated the passenger satisfaction. The number of passenger increases every years, not only that of residents but also of tourists, especially in summer. identifies this gap and thanks to the European Union and the project, the customer satisfaction analysis will be done on three target and in two different periods. 2 Survey structure 2.1 Questionnaires The idea was to investigate the passengers satisfaction of three different targets: Train users resident in South Tyrol; No train users resident in South Tyrol; Tourists Train users The first target includes daily train commuters as well as people that use the train few days per month. We structure the questionnaire in six different topics 1. Daily habits we ask information regarding the regional train daily use and the reasons to use it; 4

4 2. Reachability of the train station we ask about the means of transport used to reach the train station and the destination, also regarding the time that it takes; 3. Satisfaction related to a. Reliability; b. Comfort ; c. Infrastructure of the stations; d. Public transport network system; e. Information before travelling; f. Information at the station; g. Information on the train; h. Ticket system; i. Pricing; j. Service. We ask for the satisfaction and for the explicit and implicit importance of each factor (through a ranking). Satisfaction Ranking Figure 1: point 3.7 of the questionnaire. Satisfaction regarding the information on the train. 4. Importance of the main factors: a. Reliability; b. Comfort; c. Infrastructure of the stations; d. Public transport network system; 5

5 e. Information before travelling; f. Information at the station; g. Information on the train; h. Ticket system; i. Pricing; j. Service. Figure 2: point 4 of the questionnaire: ranking of the main factors. 5. Satisfaction regarding the regional rail transport we would like to know in general the satisfaction on the provincial rail transport; Figure 3: point 5 of the questionnaire. 6

6 6. Personal information we ask about age, gender, place of residence, job, number of components of the family and annual income No train users The second target is the no users. In this questionnaire we investigate the reasons why residents in the valleys served with the rail transport, do not use the rail transport. The main topics are: 1. Means of transport used during the work time and the free time, and reasons not to use the train; 2. Information; 3. Information regarding the ticket system; 4. Information regarding the daily ride; 5. What has to change to use the rail transport?; 6. Personal information Tourists Finally the third target is the tourists. For them we create two different questionnaires. Face to face questionnaire On-line/phone questionnaire Tourists at the beginning of their holiday in South Tyrol Tourists at home after the end of their holiday Expectation Experience Figure 4: scheme of the tourist questionnaires The first one, let us analyze their expectations on rail transport in South Tyrol. 7

7 It will be done at the beginning of their holiday in South Tyrol, they have to stay at least 4 days, otherwise the questionnaire cannot be done and they have to be willing to leave their address or telephone number to do a second questionnaire. Figure 5: contact for the second questionnaire. The face to face questionnaire asks information about: 1. Travel information the reason to come in South Tyrol and with whom; 2. Daily means of transport at home; 3. Means of transport used to arrive in South Tyrol; 4. Prevision of the means of transport that will be use during the holiday; 5. Information before and during the holiday; 6. Expectations on public transport in South Tyrol; 7. Personal Information. In the second questionnaire we investigate why they do not use the rail transport, or their satisfaction if they used the train during their holiday. To compare the information we put a number on each questionnaire, this lets us compare the expectation with the experience. 8

8 Figure 6: Tourist questionnaire the number is necessary to compare the data face to face questionnaire on-line questionnaire The on-line questionnaire has a barrage question (Did you use the train during your stay in South Tyrol?), according to which it splits in two branches. If the tourist has travelled by train we ask for: 1. Reachability of the train station 2. Daily habits 3. Satisfaction related to a. Reliability; b. Comfort ; c. Infrastructure of the stations; d. Public transport network system; e. Information before travelling; f. Information at the station; g. Information on the train; h. Ticket system; i. Pricing; j. Service. 9

9 4. Importance of the main factors 5. Satisfaction regarding the regional rail transport 6. Personal information If the tourist did not travel by train, we ask for: 1. Means of transport used during the holiday in South Tyrol; 2. Reason why he/she did not use the train; 3. Information; 4. Ticket system; 5. What has to change to use the rail transport?; 6. Personal information. 2.2 Conduction of the questionnaires To write the questionnaires we did a series of qualitative interview with the main stakeholders in South Tyrol and we also did a literature review on mobility surveys. After the draft version we did a pre-test to see the effectiveness of the questions and to see the reaction of the interviewees. This is one of the most important phase where questions can be modified in order to get the final version of the questionnaires. The conduction of the questionnaires will be divided into Summer session (August-October 2011) and in Winter session (December-April 2012). The Summer session was distributed in the Venosta Valley and in the Pustertal Valley. 10

10 Figure 7: territorial distribution of the questionnaires conduction Summer session In the Summer session we collected 492 questionnaires of train users, 270 questionnaires of no train users, 488 questionnaires of tourists at the beginning of their holiday and 114 tourist on-line/phone questionnaires. The data analysis is done though the statistic software SPSS. We based our elaboration on the importance performance analysis and the satisfaction pyramid. 11

11 3 Results The results are presented per each target and at the end there are a comparison between inhabitants and tourists that use the train and inhabitants and tourists that do not use the train. 3.1 Train users resident in South Tyrol Do you travel with 23% 77% SAD Trenitalia N=491 12

64 3.5 Data comparison Data have been compared according to the transport habits of the three targets, in order to investigate whether tourists and inhabitants show similar motivational features and present same satisfaction degrees or not. In this way, the suggested corrective actions may satisfy both targets. First of all train users have been studied, both inhabitants and tourists. In detail, the reasons for the train usage, the ticket type purchased and the general satisfaction with ten factors 1 have been investigated. A specific elaboration has been dedicated to the comparison between tourists expected transport choices and choices actually made by them, as well as to their expectations and satisfaction with the transport service. In this case the analysis has been made by linking the face-to face questionnaire filled in at the beginning of the holiday with the on-line or phone questionnaire, completed after holiday. Secondly, no train users both inhabitants and tourists have been analyzed. In this case the reasons why they preferred other means of transport has been studied and the information degree on public transport has been measured. By reading results it is important to take into account that the compared targets have different sample sizes (see Tab. 5.1). As a consequence, the inhabitants sample is more reliable than the tourists one. Table Sample size Tourists Inhabitants Train users No train users Reliability, comfort, infrastructure of the stations, public transport network system, information before travelling, information at the station, information on the train, ticket system, pricing, service. 65
