OUGD405 Brief 2 - Primary Research

To get my 20 opinions I have decided to ask friends and family
in person and via social media to the following questions here are
their responses.

•I like trains! They're fast and relatively cheap

•Tickets are okay if you book in advance but too expensive otherwise

•I sometimes do for the sentimental value

• I think electronic would be good unless your electronic device dies

- Emily Thompson

•Personally I prefer trains they are fast efficient and easier access for myself.

•I think the prices of travel for most transport is unrealistic for working class 

it is very expensive for me to travel to university daily.

•I subconsciously collect noramal journey tickets and tickets from memorable 

days.

•I currently have an electronic pass but this is still verified with a paper ticket 

so I don’t think paper will go yet I personally like my electronic ticket but miss 

collecting paper tickets.

- Laura Taylor

•I prefer train over any others. The journey's are just more enjoyable and 

interesting for me, don't know why.

•I think they are overpriced especially considering you could in some 

circumstances probably fly for cheaper than taking the train.

•I don't keep my tickets as once they are used they have no use to me.

• I prefer having paper tickets because at least then you know you can definitely 

get on the train and prove you have paid.

- Joel Sleet

•I prefer trains as it's the main mode of transport I use personally, and I 

think, like Hattie said, they're quite efficient, with only a few delays etc.

•Prices are pretty high, but then again the economy is still a little dire so 

prices are pushed up!

• I don't tend to keep my tickets as I don't feel the need to keep them! I 

think they are slightly outdated and a waste of paper, as most people 

will throw them away at some point.

• In the future we'll all be using tickets electronically anyway, as transactions 

are also slowly becoming electronically.

- Charles Worrall

•Bus because there are generally more stops closer to where you live than 

trains (unless you live next to the train station haha)

•Tickets can be over priced if you don't have a half fare pass.

•No I don't keep my tickets because there's no point me keeping them.

• I think electronic would be better because saving trees and all that haha

- Belinda Yilmaz

•Tube! I know we don't have one in leeds but yeah it's quick and easier.

•If you have an oyster travel can be fairly cheap depending on how often 

you use it!

•If I ever get a paper ticket yes I keep it  for the memories.

•I prefer electronic!

-Lucas Macintosh

•bus because even though theyre slower they are better for quieter 

places and you get to learn more areas.

•They are definitely overpriced.

•I get rid of my tickets in the bin normally.

•I prefer paper tickets. just because sometimes you can keep one 

from a cool day.

- Theo Midgley

•Trains because they’re  quicker, more room and nicer people.

•train prices are good - bus prices are over priced.

•Keeping tickets creates litter.

•paper tickets use resources but there is too much electronics around.

- Ben Elsworth

•If I travelled via public transport I would say train.

•Overpriced cheaper for me to drive

•I wouldn’t save my ticket after travel why would you need to.

•I would personally prefer to use an electronic ticket.

- Richard Taylor

•My favourite transport is trains because they are quick and efficient.

•I think travel is overpriced, it keeps going up and it never goes down,

 I think it should be based on fuel prices of the time.

•I don't keep all my tickets, only the ones that are meaningful journeys. 

I hate electronic tickets ><

- Harriet Windley

•My favourite is also trains, because I don't like motorways and I'm 

scared of planes.

• I think tickets are overpriced but a lot of things are these days.

• I sometimes keep train tickets in a tin because I feel like they'd make a 

nice collage one day

- Lo Wilcock

•Train, it's quickest and easiest

•Overpriced!

•Yes, I like to remember places I've been

•I don't think they're outdated it's nice to keep some things physical!

- Lucy Winterburn

•Train, it's quick and easy, they're not usually late and the prices are

 what you'd expect for train travel.

•I think the bus prices are fairly overpriced, but managers would not 

be able to keep buses running if they put the cost down. Train travel

 is the expected price, and coach travel is very cheap which is good.

•I sometimes keep my tickets, just in case. You never know when

you're gonna need the ticket.

•I think paper tickets and electronic tickets are both efficient and paper 

tickets aren't outdated. Some people prefer to use paper tickets but 

it's nice to have the option of both!

- Phoebe Heald

•I use buses all the time I think they could do with been a little more 

on time but you can get to where you need to without drama and you 

know your always going to get there

•the fares are reasonable

•I don't keep my ticket but I do think some sort of electronic ticket 

would be better for the environment

- Claire Solanki

•Coach if anything, it's a lot cheaper

•Overpriced

•No, don't need them for anything

•Not outdated, i prefer it in paper form

- Becky Paterson

•Bus as it's more accessible to where I live as there is no train station 

in Kippax.

•Overpriced!

•When I was working I would get monthly passes so I would keep them 

after each use.

•Paper tickets are definitely not outdated when it come to transport as 

people like to have a hard printed copy because some technology can 

be unreliable, such as having an app with your bus ticket on which needs 

internet connection it might not connect to be able to open the ticket 

therefore you'd have to purchase another ticket.

- Shannon Colgan

•I prefer trains too, they are a lot more efficient and it's relaxing to me 

sitting on a train and looking outside the window while listening to music

• I think I subconsciously collect train tickets because I never seem to throw 

them away and I always have a few in my purse

• I prefer them to electronic anyway

-Emma Nicholls

•I prefer trains as well, though they are quite overpriced - thank God 

for railcards! .

•I can't stand being on coaches for hours and hours cause I find a hard 

time getting comfortable on them, but if the distance isn't too long I don't

 mind them, and they're really cheap.

• I prefer paper tickets just cause I like collecting them whenever it's my first 

time travelling somewhere or if it was a meaningful journey.

- Richelle Hew

•I like long journeys and don't mind taking the bus to get around.

• I live in York and the bus tickets are so expensive it's ridiculous.

•I keep my bus tickets, I'm not sure why! They just get collected in my 

purse I'm not even sure I realise!

•I like using paper tickets, just as a keep sake. I'm always worried 

about electronic as my phone always dies and I wouldn't be able to 

get it up on the screen!

-Rowan Coupland

-

•Buses, because they are generally on time there is more bus stops 

then train stations.

•About right I guess.

•No because its just waste.

•I prefer electronic because it saves trees.

- Daniel Moore

The next bit of primary research was to collate my own tickets to

have a physical collection of which I could take a minimum of 20

photos, my collection is collated of train tickets and concert/plane 

etc.

Here is a few examples of my photos:

This last picture is 

        of me on my first train 

        ride I believe if i use this 

        in my presentation it will 

        end it on good humour 

        and engage better with my 

        peers.
