Customer Satisfaction Index - All Modes

People often use different modes of transport at various times for a range of reasons, so it is important that we continue to listen to how people in NSW rate their experiences throughout their entire journey.

Conducting the ‘Customer Satisfaction Index’ helps us gain insight into the experiences of our transport users, which helps us focus our efforts on improving transport services to meet the needs of NSW residents.

We would like to thank the more than 11,000 people who provided their feedback, either online or face-to-face, for the most recent research, conducted in November 2025.

Public Transport in NSW

Overall customer satisfaction for trains, buses, ferries, light rail, and metro remains high, with satisfaction levels between 90-98%.
Passengers were most satisfied with attributes like ticketing, safety &amp; security, and accessibility across the different modes.
Areas with lower satisfaction include cleanliness, information about service delays, and comfort (e.g. seat availability).

Road

Overall customer satisfaction for private vehicles, heavy vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, and walking is between 58-91%.
Users were most satisfied with journey time reliability, safety, and road quality &amp; design.
Areas with lower satisfaction include customer service, information about road closures/delays, and facilities for heavy vehicles and cyclists.

Point-to-Point

Overall customer satisfaction for taxis, rideshare, and hire cars is between 88-92%.
Users were most satisfied with convenience and accessibility.
Areas with lower satisfaction include information provided and customer service.

What’s Next

This report is one of Transport for NSW regular surveys to measure customer satisfaction across the public transport, roads, and point-to-point transport networks. The results are used to identify areas for improvement and drive accountability for continual enhancement of the transport system in NSW.

IMOS - AusCPR: Phytoplankton Abundance

AusCPR: Phytoplankton Abundance.  The Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder (AusCPR) survey is a joint project between CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&amp;A) and the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) to measure plankton communities as a guide to the health of Australia's oceans. The phytoplankton abundance data are analysed as per Richardson et al 2006. Phytoplankton are usually counted from water samples after settling but in the CPR analysis we count the phytoplankton in situ. With CPR samples, the phytoplankton is captured by the mesh and are caught by the silk strands, by phytoplankton mucilage, and/or by other organisms on the silk. It is thus possible to see the phytoplankton cells directly on the mesh. In essence, the phytoplankton is already concentrated. Washing the phytoplankton off the silks to count in the standard manner may result in loss of or damage to cells before analysis.

It is advised that anyone using the data should first read this methodology or contact the project contact person. The aims of the AusCPR survey are to: * map plankton biodiversity and distribution * develop the first long-term plankton baseline for Australian waters * document plankton changes in response to climate change * provide indices for fisheries management * detect harmful algal blooms * validate satellite remote sensing * initialise and test ecosystem models.  Servicing and maintenance of the CPRs and analysis of the samples for the AusCPR survey will be carried out by staff based at the O&amp;A laboratories in Queensland and at the AAD in Hobart. The project was funded by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) and falls with the Ships of Opportunity facility. Data storage and access is planned to be interoperable with other national and international programs through the IMOS Infrastructure. Results from the AusCPR survey are available through the AODN portal: https://portal.aodn.org.au.  For information on using the data please refer to the Richardson et al. 2006. As the taxonomic resolution of the data has changed over time, due to continual training, it is important that users refer to the change log tables included in your data download. These will provide information on the validity of the taxa, from what date we have been identifying certain taxa etc. Classification fields may be blank depending on the level to which that taxa has been identified, i.e. if only identified to family, genus and species will be blank. This data is freely available but please acknowledge all relevant parties, as detailed in acknowledgement section.

REH200901 - FV Rehua Biological Data

Biological data collected by FV Rehua during the transit from NZ to Devonport.  Samples were collected with  MIDOC net  fitted to commercial trawl nets.  In June 2009 scientific sampling of the Tasman Sea micronekton was carried out from a 65 metre factory freezer vessel, the FV Rehua, The voyage took place from Nelson New Zealand on the 17th 2009 June arriving in Devonport (Tasmania), Australia on the 22th June 2009. During the five day transit the vessel was under charter from Petuna Sealord to CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research for a total of 24 hrs. The charter time was approximately divided into eight three-hour deep-water deployments that formed three sets of day/night experiments.

Three main sampling instruments were used:

(1)  Sampling of micronekton (primarily biota &lt; 20 cm) was made from 1000 m depth to the surface in 5 sets of equally spaced (200 metre) strata using a fine-mesh multiple opening closing net system (MIDOC). This system was fitted to either the vessel's midwater or demersal commercial net. 

(2)  The digitised return signal from the vessel's 38 kHz Simrad ES60 echosounder was logged for the duration of the voyage. This will allow us to map the along-transect acoustic reflectivity at 38 kHz of the Tasman Sea basin from the surface down to 1500 metres. 

(3) An Acoustic-Optically System (AOS) was attached to the headline of the demersal net to measure the acoustic reflectivity of individual biota at two frequencies (38 and 120 kHz) and record concurrent optical images using digital SLR still cameras and PAL video system. The AOS was deployed vertically down to 1000 metres depths on two occasions. On four occasions it was attached to the headline of the demersal net that had been fitted with the MIDOC cod-end.

IMOS - AusCPR: Zooplankton Abundance

AusCPR: Zooplankton Abundance.  The Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder (AusCPR) survey is a joint project between CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&amp;A) and the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) to measure plankton communities as a guide to the health of Australia's oceans. The zooplankton analysis is conducted differently to that described in Richardson et al 2006 as it is counted off the silk in a bogorov tray. This is accomplished by rinsing the silks in water and straining through a 10 micron mesh sieve. The collected plankton is transferred to a bogorov tray and counted under a dissecting scope. This is done to retain the phytoplankton. After counting the zooplankton and phytoplankton are stored with the silk segment in PGP preservative. AusCPR decided to analyse the zooplankton this way as it provides a more accurate analysis of the zooplankton present. It is easy to miss zooplankton when it is still on the silk and it is harder to identify. The aims of the AusCPR survey are to: * map plankton biodiversity and distribution * develop the first long-term plankton baseline for Australian waters * document plankton changes in response to climate change * provide indices for fisheries management * detect harmful algal blooms * validate satellite remote sensing * initialise and test ecosystem models.  Servicing and maintenance of the CPRs and analysis of the samples for the AusCPR survey will be carried out by staff based at the O&amp;A CSIRO laboratories in Queensland and Hobart and at the AAD in Hobart. The project was funded by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) and falls with the Ships of Opportunity facility.

RV Investigator Voyage IN2024_V05 ADCP Data

This record describes the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2024_V05, titled: "Multi-year: Untangling the causes of change over 25 years in the southeast marine ecosystem (SEA-MES Voyage 3)." The voyage took place between November 13, 2024 and December 12, 2024 (AEST), departing from Hobart and returning to Hobart.

The ADCP was run for most of the voyage, though it was turned off when EK80 surveys were being performed to avoid creating interference in the EK80 data. As this was a fisheries voyage, the EK80 was used extensively and the ADCPs were not acquiring for long periods throughout the voyage.

ADCP data were collected using the University of Hawaii Data Acquisition System (UHDAS) and post-processed using the Common Ocean Data Access System (CODAS). Documentation for these systems can be found in (Hummon, 2009-2021).

The RDI Ocean Surveyor 150kHz ADCP, RDI Ocean Surveyor 75kHz ADCP and RDI Ocean Surveyor 38kHz ADCP were run in narrowband mode.
Internal triggering was used.

The drop keel was set at 2 metres below the hull for the duration of the voyage. The nominal transducer depth is set to 6 metres, any additional changes will need to be applied by the user if they believe it is required.

Bottom tracking was run for an hour of the voyage on the OS150nb to aid in calibrations.

Fire Extent and Severity Mapping (FESM) 2025/26 (interim July 1 -March 31)

Fire severity is a metric of the loss of biomass caused by fire. In collaboration with the NSW Rural Fire Service, DCCEEW Remote Sensing &amp; Regulatory Mapping team has developed a semi-automated approach to mapping fire extent and severity through a machine learning framework based on sentinel 2 satellite imagery. The statewide severity map has standardised classes to allow comparison of different fires across the landscape. The FESM severity classes include: unburnt, extent only (grass fires), low severity (burnt understory, unburnt canopy), moderate severity (partial canopy scorch), high severity (complete canopy scorch, partial canopy consumption), extreme (full canopy consumption).

This dataset represents the interim 2025/26 fire year including all wildfires  &gt;10ha with a fire start date between 1 July 2025 and 31 March 2026.
