Abstract This study focuses on the process of Performance Measurement System (PMS) development in the local public transportation sector. This development refers to the trajectory from design to redesign and from the initial use of the PMS to new ways of use. The design, use and development of PMS have been investigated for two different cities in two different European countries. In each case, the PMS design and its use are shaped by a different process. Both cities implemented the same guidelines enacted at the European level but with a different local PMS development. Insights are shared on the process of PMS development. Notions as masculine and feminine culture and their relevance for governance structure are used to explain differences in PMS development. The main finding is that PMS follows structure. A multi-layer, multi-actor structured world forces the PMS into dialogue-based development.

    Highlights In this study, insights are shared on the process of PMS development. This dynamic perspective appears to be crucial when understanding and managing PMS. Comparing Milan and Amsterdam reveals a classic contrast. The Milan approach focuses on maximizing formal compliance. The Amsterdam approach focuses on dialogue and learning. Both approaches had surprising reverse sides. The Italian case resembled an unalloyed top-down approach yet was relatively conducive to a learning process. The Dutch case shows the opposite. We conceptually refined the 'top-down versus dialogue' dichotomy commonly used in literature on regulation styles.
