Stuck in Traffic

I started the survey but gave up part way through when it started asking about the travel of people within my household, I’m not going to get those people to come to the computer and stick answers in and I’m too lazy to guess answers. I could have just wrote BS answers, too lazy for that too.

Perhaps they could collect surveys from the drivers of the stationery cars on the GDE each morning from the Barton Hwy southwards?

So can we assume that from this survey the gov will be able to determine how many more seats they need to allocate for 35-44 year old married women that are ‘full-time other employed’ with an income of $41,600 to $51,999???

Did the survey, and made sure to leave a comment at the end that contained the phrase “smelly poo”.

I gave up on the survey. It had no ability to deal with any kind of real-world situation. could deal with the number of people who live in our home and was basically a pain in the butt. Another example of the Stanhope government wasting scarce resources.

How exactly do I answer for my five year old what is important to him when making his travel decision. I can say carbon emissions are not high on his agenda! Getting to school in the morning and being picked up in the afternoon are the most important aspects of the trip for him. He wouldn’t have a clue about bus frequency – being too young to travel by himself on a bus was probably a valid reason for lots of parents but wasn’t an option on the list….

If they want useful data they really need to test the survey on some ‘average’ citizens before releasing to the rest of us.

If you say you travel by car it asks you why, and the options include both the speed and infrequency of buses.

There’s no free text field because they’d just have to have someone interpreting and categorising the answers anyway, otherwise it’d be impossible to produce any kind of summary (and yes, a summary is crucial to getting the data into a form where it can actually be read and digested). So you might as well do the categorising yourself, since you’re most likely to categorise it the way you mean.

The survey doesn’t cover the inadequacy of bus shelters, or the unreliability of the bus service itself. There’s no free text field to include what you’d really like to say. And it could have the decency to pre-populate the from field with your previous answer when you’re filling out your multi-trip day.
