Well, yeah. Public transport never going to be as sustainable as private transport, that's why the government is funding it in the first place. It's partially to provide tax payers with a service, and partially to offer an alternative for those who can't afford other options.
Whoever put punctuality, personal safety, and train Wi-Fi in the same part of the questionnaire was setting the research up for killing the Wi-Fi. Obviously people prefer not being stabbed on the train above Wi-Fi and "arriving at the destination on time" is the main purpose of the whole field.
"We want commute to be worse and more expensive" is a bizarre take to have as the department of transport.
