Over the past week, randomly selected households across the Bude area will have received a letter through the post inviting them to take part in our new focused Bus Survey. If one arrived on your doorstep — brilliant! We’d love to hear from you.
This survey is part of our ongoing work to build a clear, evidence-driven picture of local transport needs. Whether you rely on buses every day, use them occasionally, or currently don’t use them at all, your experiences matter. The more responses we receive, the stronger our case becomes when campaigning for better, more reliable, and more accessible public transport for Bude.
You have until the 30th November 2025!
Who can take part?
If you have got the letter then every member of your household is welcome – and encouraged – to complete the survey. Transport affects everyone differently, so individual perspectives are vital.
We’re doing a “Stratified Sample” to sample the whole population of Bude, and so to ensure the integrity of our method we cannot share the survey here we’re afraid! But if you want your voice heard we are after case studies and peoples stories of their historic and current experiences with public transport in Bude – so please do join us today!
How to return your survey
You can complete the paper version included in your letter and return it in whichever way works best for you:
- Hand-deliver it yourself to Bude Tourist Information Centre
- Or send it via FREEPOST
Prefer to fill it in online?
The link is printed on the letter you received, so you can submit it digitally in just a few minutes.
Our thanks to RailFuture
This project is being delivered in cooperation with, and with generous financial support from, RailFuture — a national, volunteer-led organisation campaigning for better rail and public transport across the UK. Their support has made this targeted research possible, and we are incredibly grateful.
Why your response matters
Good data leads to good decisions.
The more people who reply, the more accurate and representative our findings will be — which means stronger, clearer evidence when we present the community’s needs to decision-makers.
Your voice genuinely helps shape the future of transport in and around Bude.
We’re excited to see the results, and we hope you’ll take a few minutes to share your views. Together, we can make the case for the connected, accessible, and resilient transport network our community deserves.
