Sounds or silence?

At Connect, we do our best to offer great public transport services. That means providing things we know everyone wants: well-trained drivers, clean buses, reliable timetables and more.

However, there is one issue which has proven hard to settle - music on buses. Some people love hearing the driver's pick of music when they get on board. Others believe music should not be played for the bus and passengers should use headphones if they want to listen to something.

This is also a difficult situation for drivers. We know some want to play music on board for everyone to hear, but are unsure what genres they should play.

We are working out guidelines for music on buses, and we need your help to get it right. We're asking you a few simple questions:

  • Do you mind music being played by drivers for bus passengers to hear?
  • If we have music on board, what genres/stations/playlists should be allowed?
  • Should we have different guidelines for different times of the day and/or year?

Fill in the survey below to help us get the guidelines right. You have until September 2 to have your say.

The survey should take you 2-5 minutes to complete. Just answer the question displayed, then click/tap the 'Next' button to move through the survey. You'll get a chance to review your answers at the end of the survey, and can go back by clicking/tapping the 'Previous' button if you need to change your answers.
