Congestion charges/road pricing etc.

[almostvegancyclist]

Hello again,

Many of you have helped me last time when I ran a survey about cycling motivations which I am very grateful for. I am running more studies on transport and environment more generally. This one concerns congestion charges (among others) which have a big impact on cycling experience in cities. As I did last time, I will update the thread with my findings! Cheers.

Got halfway through, binned it. The survey is too broad, seems not to recognise the more than half of oil production not used as fuel but goes into plastics, fertilisers, medicines, etc.

Hi there, do you mean that cutting fossil fuel subsidies will have an effect on things other than fuel prices? That's a fair point. I'm only highlighting fuel prices as one of the things that people might immediately notice as a result, though.

Done!

Best wishes with your studies.

Done

Am I supposed to say that this applies to me on the grounds that I don't have a car, or say that it doesn't apply in an attempt to disagree with the premise that the alternatives adequate?

Hmm good question, I guess it's implicitly assuming that people have a car. I reckon if you feel that cycling is an adequate alternative then 'applies to me' would be best..

I didn't understand the questions of the form "x is fair for me" "x is fair for y other than me". So I just answered not sure.

Same here.

Thank you. I can see it's potentially confusing, I'll take that into account in future versions.

Completed it. In the last section I was presented with 3 boxes and then had to click on a random box from the three to be told I had now read 4 boxes, in order to proceed to the question.

Hello,

Thank you for taking part! There are three boxes, but it's correct that you can choose four times out of the three. Is that what you saw or did it behave differently?

That's what I saw, but it's quite confusing to the end user. Given that we have to read 4 things, it would make sense to have 4 boxes.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm working on a new version with a different interface, hopefully that'll address that issue.

The part of the crude that becomes plastic(the sludge) is not gasoline or diesel and would otherwise be poured in the river.
