Yes, it is completed by the CSO. It is possible to build on that. An extract, for example, says that lack of service is one of the main reasons given for not using bus services more frequently.

Respondents were asked reasons why they do not use bus services more frequently. Over one fifth (22.3%) stated that there was no service nearby, while 17.5% cited that there was no service to where they wanted to go. Over one in seven (15.4%) cited that it was inconvenient...Too expensive was an issue cited most by persons aged 18 to 24 years, by 9.1% of males and 8.6% of females in this age group.
We have the capacity to examine that level of engagement.
