Capes – TRANSPORT INFORMATION IN COUNTY DURHAM 1991

Description

This 22-page report, officially published by Durham County Council in January 1991, provides a robust and statistically rigorous analysis of public transport information in County Durham. Documenting findings from comprehensive, randomly sampled surveys conducted in 1985, 1987, and 1989, it offers invaluable insights into bus usage and the effectiveness of roadside timetable cases during the critical period around bus deregulation. The report’s trustworthiness is underscored by its detailed methodology, high response rates, and statistically proven reliability (95% confidence level). Beyond its core analysis, the document includes original questionnaire forms and extensive tabulated results broken down by demographic. This makes it a rare and authoritative primary source for researchers, transport planners, and historians studying local government initiatives, passenger behaviour, and the impact of information provision on public transport revenue generation.
