Summary - Interviews


Conducting the interviews was an easier task than expected initially. The interview subjects were willing to participate and answer the questions without excessive persuasion needed. Although, the interview subjects were easy to recruit, it was harder to find subjects that hadn't used the ferry before.
All interview subjects were male and their ages ranged from 26 to 38. None of the subjects travelled alone, they were either with a friend or with family. As we only had three interviews, the destinations of the interview subjects didn't vary that much. Two of the subjects were travelling to Skansen and one of the subjects was just on the boat to explore Djurgården.

All of the interviewed subjects owned a smartphone, which they used during the trip to take pictures of the surroundings. When we asked if they wanted more information during the trip, all of them answered that wanted more information. One even suggested that information regarding surrounding sites should be given in audio. Based on the interviews the information regarding Djurgården and locations surrounding the ferry could be needed as there seems to be a genuine interest among some of the interviewed subjects. As of now the ferry ride is mainly aimed at taking travellers from point A to B. The experience of taking the ferry could be enhanced by adding features that would make the ride into a small tour of surrounding locations. As there seems to be a dormant interest in first time travellers to see the area, an application could be well appreciated.
