Brant – PRESENTATION TO THE LBI LITMUS GROUP 2001

Description

This presentation (David Brant, London Buses Marketing Communications, 27 Feb 2001) outlines plans to improve passenger information across London. Key initiatives include producing and rolling out “Spider” route maps (route spider maps) — issued to some LBI routes and scheduled for wider posting by 31 March 2001 with further rollout in the next financial year — and expanding a suite of printed materials: local area/geographic maps, route-based panels, stop-specific timetables (day-only and day-and-night formats), and multi-panel timetables. Sample content shows services and frequencies for numerous hubs (e.g., Charing Cross, Euston, Camden Town, Wood Green, Finsbury Park, Liverpool Street, Waterloo, Stratford, Lewisham, Wimbledon). Timetable features include first/last bus times, peak frequencies (typically 7–10 or 8–10 minutes daytime; ~15 minutes evenings) and night services (e.g., N47). Operator details (Arriva London for London Buses) and London Travel information contact are provided; wheelchair-accessible buses expected on affected routes mid-2001.
