Ipsos and Amex Global Business Travel have conducted a second wave of a survey with business travellers in the US and UK.

Half (52%) of UK EV drivers were satisfied with public chargepoint availability in their local area.

61% of British adults believe e-scooters negatively impact pedestrian safety. However, around 2 in 5 see e-scooters as positive for the environment (39%) and cost of travel (40%).

45% of Britons report an increase in their average monthly travel spend in 2025 compared to 2024. Almost four in ten (37%) of those experiencing increased travel costs find it difficult to afford the extra amount.

The survey, commissioned by the Royal Aeronautical Society, found more support than opposition to a frequent flyer tax, and also overall support to a lesser degree for increased taxation of aviation when the money raised is invested in decarbonising air travel.

Drawing on 8 MRP models, we explore satisfaction with public services across the UK with interactive maps that enable you to explore satisfaction with a range of public services by local authority.

Ipsos’ annual ‘Understanding Society’ report “Putting the Place into Public Services” utilises 8 MRP (Multilevel Regression and Poststratification) models to understand public perceptions of key services in every local authority area across the UK, including health services, policing, public transport, and education, as well as housing, jobs, and overall quality of life and community cohesion.

Around half of Britons support the need for increased airport capacity in the UK, but concerns over the environmental impact loom large.
