Your post sounds like you are in the UK....is that correct? If so, perhaps others who do lots of mystery shops involving traveling will chime in and offer some ideas. Most of us here are based in the US, so it might be difficult getting some tips, but perhaps some others will know. Welcome to the forum!

I’ve never come across a mystery shop on public transportation here in Alberta.

It won't help you, but there is an MSC that does public transportation (buses) in Austin, TX.

There is a MS company that has transit shops in NYC. And I recall some years ago that Amtrak was shopped, but I don't know if they still are.
