  – the number of users by day/service/individual journey
  – service
  – behaviours and perceptions of bus and non-bus users

• identify the right data sets particularly where information already exists or where primary data collection is required

• identify the most cost-effective methods of collecting data and the common pitfalls

• understand when qualitative data should be used

• set relevant SMART objectives to enable success to be evaluated
