Well! Results are in from our service change poll, and our web outlets have come out on top!

Specifically: we asked you to pick the top 3 places where you find out about changes to your regular transit service, and the top answers were translink.ca (46%), followed by the Buzzer blog (34%). Signage at the bus stop (31%) was the third-highest info source — which makes sense, as it’s right where you need it!

I only stuck the top 7 entries into the chart above, to keep the graph easy to look at, but the rest of our outlets garnered a modicum of votes. Here’s the full results:

• translink.ca (46%, 54 Votes)
• Buzzer blog (34%, 40 Votes)
• signage at bus stop(31%, 36 Votes)
• Buzzer newsletter(18%, 21 Votes)
• Twitter (14%, 17 Votes)
• I only find out when the transit service actually changes (14%, 16 Votes)
• printed time table(7%, 8 Votes)
• friends, family, colleagues or other students (4%, 5 Votes)
• bus operator (4%, 5 Votes)
• newspaper (3%, 4 Votes)
• TransLink customer service (3%, 4 Votes)
• other (3%, 4 Votes)
• printed leaflets (3%, 3 Votes)
• radio (2%, 2 Votes)
• TransLink staff providing in-person outreach about changes (1%, 1 Votes)
• TV (1%, 1 Votes)
• Facebook (1%, 1 Votes)

Of course, this is an unscientific poll with only 118 respondents, but it’s a great indicator of where people get their info, and helps inform how we might get the word out about changes. Thanks again for taking the poll!
