TransLink Customer Experience Survey
TransLink conducts a Customer Experience Survey to capture feedback from bus, train, ferry and tram customers in South East Queensland and regional Queensland bus customers.
About the survey
The survey, which is undertaken by an independent market research company, has been designed to be quick, easy and accessible for respondents to complete on a mobile phone or device of their choice. Over 62,000 customers from across Queensland completed the survey in the first year.
Customers are surveyed about their onboard and offboard experience on a recent trip and are also able to provide open-ended feedback about their experience, opinions and expectations when travelling on the network.
Benefits of the survey
The survey allows the department to gain a deep understanding of customers’ experience, opinions and expectations when using public transport services and products.
The insights generated by the survey enable TransLink to design a public transport network that creates value for our customers so that we can continue to shape and deliver Queensland’s public transport system.
Survey results
Survey results are published on the TransLink PT Performance Dashboard and the Queensland Government Open Data portal.

It applies best practice planning and design principles to public transport infrastructure, helps with evaluating existing facilities and should be used as a design tool when developing new infrastructure within the TransLink network.
