To ask the Scottish Executive what the satisfaction levels are of bus passengers in the Moodiesburn area.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not hold this data. Although the Scottish Household Survey has a large sample that covers the whole of Scotland, it has some geographical limitations because of the sample sizes in small local authorities and because it is designed to be representative only at national and local authority level. It is not appropriate to undertake geographical analysis below local authority level since the sampling techniques used in some local authorities cannot guarantee representativeness in smaller areas.
