Secret Shopper Services for Transportation

Public Transport
Spy in Australia

the new James Bond for businesses

Knowing how your customers feel about your company, what it offers and your staff behaviour is a tricky thing to research.

Public transport is only one challenging sector to monitor, so let us employ a public transport spy in Australia to monitor your drivers on their routes without them knowing. 

Many of your regular customers already have a relationship with your staff and may be receiving better service than someone trying you out for the first time. If your team expects to have their service monitored, they are not going to behave normally. We have incognito consultants who blend in with your other customers and observe your staff on an average day. From the information gained we can advise you which staff members require more training and in which areas, who is going the extra mile to satisfy your client to bring repeat business and we can work out strategies to help your business grow and make more profit.

What sets Mystery Management Apart

We employ a range of mystery travellers who blend into your business to find where you can improve your service for your clients.

Our services are not just for business owners but for the public sector too. Public transport operators are making use of our travelling spies to secretly travel on trains, trams and buses and provide feedback so we can help improve the public travelling experience for everyone. This practice will help Australia’s public transport sector’s maintain high standards and gain an excellent reputation worldwide.

  1. Our mystery bus riders in Australia complete questionnaires on a variety of their experiences. A few examples of what they report on include, bus stop cleanliness, bus arrival times, bus presentation, the journey, the driver and the facilities for passengers with special needs.
  2. Mystery train passengers in Australia report on the comfort and cleanliness of the train compartments. This information provides the Public Transport sector with insight into how people feel about using public transport and the areas where they can do better. We report on the knowledge of the ticket office staff, staff uniform presentation and cleanliness of stations.
  3. Our shoppers and travellers undergo an intense induction and training process to ensure they can adapt to your unique requirements.
