1Excuse me.
2Would you mind if I asked you some questions?
3We're doing a survey on transport.
4Yes, that's OK.
5First of all, can I take your name?
6Yes. It's Sadie Jones.
7Thanks very much.
8And could I have your date of birth - just the year will do, actually.
9Is that alright?
10Yes, that's fine.
11It's 1991.
12So, next, your postcode, please.
13It's DW307YZ.
14Great. Thanks.
15Is that in Wells?
16No it's actually in Harborne.
17Wells isn't far from there, though.
18I really like that area.
19My grandmother lived there when I was a kid.
20Yes, it is nice.
21Right, so now I want to ask you some questions about how you travelled here today.
22Did you use public transport?
23Yes. I came by bus.
24OK. And that was today.
25It's the 24th of April, isn't it?
26Isn't it the 25th?
27Ah... no, actually, you're right.
28And what was the reason for your trip today?
29I can see you've got some shopping with you.
30Yes. I did some shopping
31but the main reason I came here was to go to the dentist.
32That's not much fun.
33Hope it was nothing serious.
34No, it was just a check-up.
35It's fine.
36Good.
37Do you normally travel by bus into the city centre?
38Yes. I stopped driving in ages ago
39because parking was so difficult to find
40and it costs so much.
41I see.
42The bus is much more convenient too.
43It only takes about 30 minutes.
44That's good.
45So where did you start your journey?
46At the bus stop on Claxby Street.
47Is that C-L-A-X-B-Y?
48That's right.
49And how satisfied with the service are you?
50Do you have any complaints?
51Well, as I said, it's very convenient and quick when it's on time,
52but this morning it was late.
53Only about 10 minutes, but still.
54Yes, I understand that's annoying.
55And what about the timetable?
56Do you have any comments about that?
57I suppose I mainly use the bus during the day,
58but any time I've been in town in the evening, for dinner or at the cinema,
59I've noticed you have to wait a long time for a bus.
60There aren't that many.
61OK, thanks.
62So now I'd like to ask you about your car use.
63Well, I have got a car but I don't use it that often.
64Mainly just to go to the supermarket.
65But that's about it really.
66My husband uses it at the weekends to go to the golf club.
67And what about a bicycle?
68I don't actually have one at the moment.
69What about the city bikes you can rent?
70Do you ever use those?
71No, I'm not keen on cycling there because of all the pollution.
72But I would like to get a bike, it would be good to use it to get to work.
73So why haven't you got one now?
74Well, I live in a flat, on the second floor
75and it doesn't have any storage,
76so we'd have to leave it in the hall outside the flat.
77I see.
78OK. Well, I think that's all...
