Doe – MARKET PLACE 1989

Description

This document comprises a series of four articles from the “Market Place” column in *Buses* magazine, published monthly throughout 1989 (February, May, August, November). Authored by Barry S. Doe AFIMA, a recognized authority who personally maintained a comprehensive collection of British bus timetables for the Bus & Coach Council’s ‘Directories Service,’ these pages offer unparalleled insight. The articles critically examine late 1980s bus marketing strategies, timetable usability, the 24-hour clock debate, and the importance of elements like maps and indexes. Each page is a scan of the original magazine, featuring clear, columnar text alongside relevant black-and-white photographs of buses from the era. Providing a unique primary source perspective on the UK bus industry’s public information practices during a period of significant change, this collection is invaluable for researchers and enthusiasts seeking detailed historical context.
