Supplement on users' views - Audit Scotland spoke to a small sample of ferry users across ten communities which rely on ferry services. This was not a representative sample but was used to understand the range of users' experiences and views. We used these discussions, alongside other evidence gathered during the audit, to help inform judgements in the report.
