The research method uses a questionnaire distributed to 65 Damri Bus passengers. After the results were obtained through the reliability and validity tests, they were analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression with the SPSS 17.0 for Windows program in which the classical assumption test, multicollinearity test, heteroscedasticity test, normality test, t-test, f test and coefficient of determination (R2) test were carried out. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that service quality (SERVQUAL) affects the level of customer satisfaction individually and simultaneously and is empirically proven.
