A large German public transport operator wanted to conduct research to understand how urban travellers in Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart and the Ruhr area who use public transport and shared mobility options (such as taxi and ride sharing) in their day-to-day lives over the course of a week. The objective was to learn about the way respondents use public and private modes of transport for commuting and leisure travel and to understand what factors are most important for people when they are travelling to different destinations. Another objective was to explore mobility patterns that combined public transport with the use of private vehicles, or taxi/ride sharing, in one trip when travelling to and from various destinations. The project methodology required us to satisfy complex recruitment quotas based on where respondents lived, what modes of transport they used and other personal factors (such as disabilities and adults accompanying children on journeys).
We made initial contact with over 200 promising respondents and screened in 40 for each of the two study phases. We then helped to guide the participants through the study which involved the use of an online video diary app.
FieldworkHub made our participant recruitment process effortless. They supported us from start to finish, offering expert guidance, clear communication and detailed updates at every stage. Their professionalism and attention to detail ensured we had the right participants for our one-to-one interviews and survey. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.
We wanted to say a huge thanks for your help with our study! It was very smooth and easy to work with you and the respondents you recruited gave really amazing reflective responses that helped shape our insights and learnings on the project.
