Staff Shuttle Bus Survey Results
|
|
|
|
Thank you to all staff that provided feedback in the recent Shuttle Bus Survey. We had a great response and some really useful comments.
It was great to see that 32% of the staff that responded think that the shuttle bus has made it easier for them to get to meetings and lectures. While 27% of the staff that responded felt the service has saved them time during the working day. Overall the service was rated 4 out of 5.

'I really do encourage other manufacturers to bring electric cars to market. It's a good thing, and they need to bring it to market and keep iterating and improving and make better and better electric cars, and that's what going to result in humanity achieving a sustainable transport future.'
