- Select your Gender
- What age category do you represent?
- Are you a student or commuter?
- What county are you travelling from?
- How often do you travel for work or university?
- What is the most important issue when travelling?
- Is there a need for more information on services to and from Belfast?
- Are you aware of the various operators that provide services to and from Belfast?
- Are you aware that there are up to if not more than ten operators providing services to and from Belfast?
- What would your opinion be on a website that would show all of the operators providing services?
I feel that when these ten questions are answered this will give me a great idea to how big and beneficial the Journi.info website will be. It will also narrow down what my target audience will be, although most will be friends between twenty and thirty we do have to remember I'm not just asking them to fill it in for the sake of it but because they do all travel to and from Belfast on a daily basis.

I now have obtained all of my feedback from my survey, I have a clearer view of my target audience and their thoughts on my website. In total, twenty six people filled in my questionnaire and gave me very positive feedback of what they thought of the idea of a service that I am going to provide.
For question one when asking about gender, 16 were male and 10 were female showing that out of the thirty people I asked there was a greater population of males than females.
The next question I asked was what age category did the person fit into again there was a high percentage for one category which was 18-30, in fact 17 people were in that group ad next was 41-50 which had 4 people next with 3 people was 31-40, then there were2 people in the age group 51-60 and no-one filled in the category 61-65.
The third question which asked whether or not the person was a student or commuter it was almost balanced with regards numbers but students just edged out slightly with 14 to 12. From the questions I asked operators this seems to be the norm with most companies.
Now I needed to find out where most commuters came from in Ulster. Down came out to with 40% or 10 out of 26, then Armagh came in second with 7 people followed by Derry and Donegal with 2. Antrim, Fermanagh, Monaghan and Tyrone came in with 1 and there was no-one from Cavan who filled in the form.
The main choice when asked how often do you travel to work or university was five times a week which was understandable followed by four times a week which in my own opinion would be mainly students.
The next question was asking what the most important issue was when travelling and 17 said that "Price" was important with "Travel Time" coming in at second. Two people said that the comfort of the coach was important but this doesn't seem to be favoured by many so I'm not really going to focus on this.
Is there a need for more information on services? Yes was represented by 20 people 3 people said no, but obviously they are using another service that they are happy with. Therefore there still is a huge requirement for this service to the rest of the population in different counties.
When asked if they were aware of operators providing services, 9 people said yes and 17 said no. This backs up my point on the fact that others feel that there isn't a requirement for the above question. Although some others felt that there was a requirement as they were not happy with the service that they have been using.
I asked if they knew that there were up to if not more than ten operators and all 26 said no. This proves my point for the website. It will benefit both operators and commuters and hopefully it will be a great success. Here are some replies from the last question that asked if they had any opinion on the site:
one person said, "I'm all for it in order to quickly and easily check all the corresponding bus times for all the services." another said, "It would be a great addition to know what services are running at certain times so I can get about more efficiently."
