More Efficient Public Transport Would Lure Cars off The Road
A recent survey shows that most people in Sydney would use public transport more if it ran more efficiently. The majority (53%) of people included in the study agreed that they `would use public transport more if it ran as efficiently as it did during the Olympics' . Young people were even more inclined to agree with this statement, with nearly six-in-ten people aged 18-24 indicating that they would use public transport around Sydney if it operated more efficiently. The survey also showed that women were slightly more likely than men to increase their usage of public transport if it were improved, as would people working fulltime, compared to those in part-time jobs or not working.

| How This Research Was Conducted The findings above are just one part of Ingenuity Research's on-going social research program, Australians Today. This particular segment was conducted in Sydney amongst 301 people aged 18+ by telephone between Thursday 12th and Saturday 14th of July. The 300 Respondents were selected randomly across Sydney from the electronic white pages. The interviews were conducted by trained interviewers according to standards set-out by Interviewer Quality Control Australia. A quality control validation was conducted across 10% of the interviews. Respondents were asked: I'm now going to read out some statements. Using a scale of 1 to 5 where 5 is strongly agree and 1 is strongly disagree, how much do you agree or disagree with the following statement: `I would use public transport more if it ran as efficiently as it did during the olympics'.
