Results and Costs of surveys conducted on Bus Usage

Gavin Millar made this Official Information request to Canterbury Regional Council

The request was partially successful.

From: Gavin Millar

Dear Canterbury Regional Council,

Recently I became aware that MetroInfo had provided private information to a 3rd party, Research First, regarding Metrocard usage. I am interested in both how much money has been spent on research by Environment Canterbury in this area and also the results of this research. Therefore I request:

1) In the years since 2014 can you please provide any available breakdowns of costs incurred during the collection of information or surveying regarding the use of bus routes. I am particularly interested in seeing money spent contracting third parties to conduct this research but any breakdowns of internal resources would be greatly appreciated.
2) In the years since 2014 please provide the results of all research conducted by Environment Canterbury or 3rd parties on your behalf into bus usage, patterns and behavior. I am interested both in any summary information or reports that have been created but also any collated data that Environment Canterbury holds.
3) In the years since 2014 what information on individuals has been provided to 3rd party companies regarding Metrocard holders or their usage?

Yours faithfully,

Gavin Millar

Dear Sharon Clough,

I am actually interested in the "research" that Environment Canterbury has undertaken about why people have stopped using MetroInfo buses. I was informed by email on 09/12/15 by Jo Dawkins (Lead Advisor Marketing) that Environment Canterbury was undertaking research via third parties.

I know that Research First is one such third party who has been doing this on Environment Canterbury's behalf.

Yours sincerely,
Gavin Millar
