Broome, Worrall, Fleming and Boldy – CHARACTERISTICS OF AGE-FRIENDLY BUS INFORMATION 2011

Description

This comprehensive 19-page research article, “Characteristics of Age-Friendly Bus Information,” was published in the peer-reviewed *Journal of Public Transportation*, Vol. 14, No. 4, in 2011. Authored by a collaborative team of academics from the University of the Sunshine Coast, The University of Queensland, and Curtin University of Technology, this study addresses a critical gap in literature concerning transport information for older adults. It employs a rigorous mixed-methods approach, featuring qualitative content analysis and a quantitative checklist, supported by a clear thematic figure and a participant characteristics table. Funded by the Australian Research Council and Queensland government departments, the paper provides valuable, evidence-based recommendations for transport providers and policymakers on designing bus information systems that are truly age-friendly, considering diverse media, content complexity, and accessibility.
