Funnily enough though, none of the key themes centred around cutting frequency, removing links and serving ever fewer places directly.

That survey was everything that was wrong with the models. They went to places during the day when everyone was working and only advertised it on places where people already use public transport. 

It done nothing to find out where car users are going or where people really want to be and way too long winded for someone to do out the blue with a whole load of nonsense. 

Any data collection needs to be done from raw data, things like have smart cards or contactless, a centralised journey planner to see where people are trying to go, parking systems which track a car and see where they're travelling to with a house connected - pay by phone app? etc. I'm sure there's a million other ways you could do it if you wanted but it needs to be LA led.
