Public transport feedback

Tell us about your experience using public transport.

How we handle complaints

We record your feedback with a unique case number.

Your personal information is confidential. We only use it to investigate your feedback and get back to you. 

If your feedback is about one of our operators, we'll pass your personal information onto them.

When to expect a response

We respond to most feedback within seven business days.

We acknowledge high-priority feedback within one business day, with a further response within two business days if required.

If we can’t meet these timelines, we'll be in touch with an expected response time.

If you’re not satisfied with our response

Allow time for us or the public transport operator you've contacted to respond to your feedback.

If you're not happy with the response, you can escalate your feedback through these channels

Our customer relations team

The quickest way to escalate a complaint is by:

  1. filling out our public transport feedback form
  2. ticking the box at the bottom that says 'escalate my feedback'.

You can also submit a complaint using any of our other contact options
