Train transfer time filter

Survey and study for Eurail

Pain points: Users couldn't find the same journey on the Eurail app and website because the timetable scales differ, leading to inconsistent results. As a result, they couldn't book seat reservations since the train was missing from the search.

Differences between the app and the web

First I found out there are different scales between the web and the app.

In the app, the transfer time scales are 
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 min, 10, 15, 30 min, 1h , 2h, 3h

In the web version, the scales are

0m, 10m,
20m,
30m,
40m, 50m, 60m

What do our competitors do?

I began researching what our competitors are doing and noticed that most of them offer no more than five fixed options. In NS, they use single-select buttons with a default of 0 minutes transfer time, showing all search results, which can be seen as a "no value applied" option. In SNCB, they also use single-select buttons with a default 0 value. In SBB, they use radio buttons with a default value of "standard transfer time..."

Competitors research, these screens are from NS, SNCB and SBB websites.

We created a 3 minutes survey to understand what users need, questions such as "How much time would you prefer for your train transfer at a station for most of your journeys? Please select the category that best suits your preference." and "Do you remember which transfer time you selected most?"

To Sum up

we decided these values based on the survey: Β 

(At least) 1 min, 5 min, 10min, 15 min, 20 min, 1hr

In the survey result we found out:

  • Most users select 20 mins transfer time on Reservation web planner
  • Most users select at least 15 mins on App planner
  • Users would like to keep 1 min transfer (they want to see minimal transfer time)
  • Most users will choose a new journey if they want to explore a transfer city
