When I was in school, we used to do research surveys for different universities from time to time. If Passenger Focus got the LEA's buy in they could get a representation from the 11-15 age group.

Cant remember doing any when I was there, but in a controlled environment, the feedback from that age group can help shape things going forward.
Their thoughts on the peak/off peak tickets would be interesting.

Just to add to the abc1 commuter points, Mark Denten from the BBC has coincidently tweeted some ONS info.
No idea on the sample used, but commuters in the North East, have on average the second longest commute to work in the UK.

I will stick a decent sized bet on in Fozzes Bookies, that a big percentage of those questioned, commute by bus.
Makes the paltry percentage questioned in the bus survey even more laughable and makes their views/opinions about the bus company, even more important.
