Passenger Feedback Analysis for Travel brands

Whether it’s surveys, CRM complaints, totems, focus groups, transcripts or tweets - Wordnerds helps you make sense of it all. Instantly. At scale. Without bias.

We’ve been working with CX, Insights, Data and Marketing teams in TOCs since day one. Our platform evolves with your needs, shaped by your feedback. It’s why we’re trusted by the industry’s most ambitious operators and innovators.

Built with, and for the passenger transport industry


Our customers use Wordnerds to turn feedback into route-specific insight, automate ORR reporting, track passenger sentiment around disruption and new initiatives and collaborate across teams on service improvements.

Our TRIG-Funded Mission to Tackle Bias in AI 🤓


How can you use AI to understand large volumes of feedback, but without the bias AI can bring? The need for AI to understand increasing volumes of passenger feedback is inevitable. 

But bias in Natural Language Processing is an inevitable consequence of the biased human data originally used to train the models.

Our AI isn’t off-the-shelf. It’s built with transport-specific data and trained to reduce the bias that can often exclude vulnerable voices. Thanks to our TRIG-funded innovation work, we now outperform Google and IBM in reducing gendered, ethnic, and regional bias in feedback analysis.

Our feedback analytics platform to offer two unique features for the transport sector to combat bias in AI: 

✅ A sentiment analysis model that is specifically optimised to minimise bias in the UK
✅ A comprehensive bank of AI themes and methodologies trained on public transport passenger data. 

These features are helping TOCs to deal with the challenge of improving passenger experience by allowing them to accurately hear the voices of all their passengers with complete clarity. The result? Fair and accurate insights that lead to safer, smarter transport for everyone.

"As AI grows in influence, tackling its bias is a major challenge. Wordnerds’ work with DfT and Connected Places Catapult helps ensure all customer concerns are treated equally, regardless of travel, language, or name."
