Metrorail to Conduct Customer Survey

More than 300,000 survey cards will be distributed to customers entering the Metrorail system from Tuesday, April 17 through Thursday, May 24, as Metro officials seek information for planning purposes.

The questionnaires will be distributed at  selected stations on weekdays through May 24 when all 86 stations will have been surveyed.  Customers can mail the self-addressed, pre-paid survey card or they can drop it off at collection boxes located outside the station manager’s kiosk.

“The Metrorail customer survey provides us with critical information about our ridership that we use for analysis and planning,” said Metro General Manager John Catoe. “Getting this information is extremely important to plan our services and future growth,” he said.
