Description

This five-page document, authored by Barry S. Doe AFIMA, dates to the late 1980s (circa 1988-1989) and originates from the Bus & Coach Management sector. Presented as a scanned report, it is text-heavy with no external imagery, though its concluding pages feature detailed text-based examples of various bus timetable formats. Its significance stems from Doe’s unique position as the “sole ‘clearing house'” for bus timetables in Britain, having personally collected and maintained comprehensive data for the Bus & Coach Council’s Directories Service. This unparalleled access underpins his critical analysis of “Britain’s Best Timetables.” His background as a mathematics teacher further lends credibility to his insights on clarity and public comprehension. The document offers a highly trustworthy and expert perspective on public transport information design, making it a valuable historical record of industry standards and challenges from that era.
