Surveyor:
Great. And can I also get your postcode?
Ryan:
Sure, it's AB24 3LR.
Surveyor:
Thanks very much. Now, let's talk about your bus journey. Could you tell me the date of the trip?
Ryan:
That was yesterday, so the 14th of June.
Surveyor:
And what was the reason for your trip?
Ryan:
I was meeting some friends at the shopping mall.
Surveyor:
Got it. So, why did you decide to take the bus?
Ryan:
Well, the cost of parking my car in the city centre is just too high.
Surveyor:
Yes, parking can be very expensive. Do you remember where you got on the bus?
Ryan:
Yes, it was on Forest Avenue.
Surveyor:
Thank you. Now, did you have any complaints about the bus service?
Ryan:
I do, actually. The bus was fifteen minutes late, which was very frustrating.
Surveyor:
I see. Anything else?
Ryan:
Yes, there aren't enough buses during the evening.
Surveyor:
Noted. Moving on-do you travel by car often?
Ryan:
Yes, I drive to the Greenfield Park sometimes.
Surveyor:
Lovely. Finally, do you use a bicycle?
Ryan:
No, not really. I don't like cycling in the city because there aren't enough cycle lanes.
Surveyor:
I understand. Thank you for your time, Ryan. Your answers have been very helpful!
