Initial Survey: On-Demand Transit Service Design for Breslau
The Region of Waterloo and Metrolinx are working together to better connect people in the Region to destinations Breslau and other transit services. We're looking to hear from those who live and work in Breslau, as well as those interested in travelling to and from Breslau. Your responses will help the Region of Waterloo and Metrolinx design an on-demand transit pilot service for this area. Please note that your participation in this survey is voluntary and your survey responses are confidential. This survey will close on September 25, 2020.
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the project team is also interested in how your travel behaviour and preferences have changed (including travel within and beyond Waterloo Region), and how you expect it to change in the future. A few questions about the pandemic and how it relates to your perceptions of transit will be asked in this survey to help design a service that reflects your needs and preferences.
How long will the survey take? The entire survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Try your best to answer all of the questions in the survey, but you may skip those that don’t apply.
What should I do if I have any issues with the survey?
