Hi Team,
As a technology company, OurBus prides itself on gathering and analysing the data that we get-whether it’s rider info, pricing, or feedback about our transportation providers. In this spirit, we have decided to use the data that goes into our incident reports to create a percentage score for each of our partners. Your quality score of the month is 97.5%. As we have discussed every incident with you.
How did we create this score?
Over the last few months, we have gone through every single incident that we have received and categorized them, with each category having a certain deduction based on level of severity, and each individual trip starting with 100 points.
1. Also please see the attached spreadsheets, which include:
2. The score card we have created to calculate deductions.
3. A list of all the incidents you had for the month with the subsequent sub-category it fell under and the deduction.
4. A spreadsheet that shows which categories your deductions fell under, so that you know what could be improved.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you’d like a more in depth look into what went into your incident score. However, every incident that was factored was sent to you as an email, so you should have access to each individual incident in your inbox.
