Halcrow – PTI- RESEARCH INTO BEST PRACTICE 2012

Description

This comprehensive 85-page final report, compiled by Halcrow for the Public Transport Users’ Committee and Welsh Government in March 2012, offers a deep dive into ‘best practice’ for Public Transport Information (PTI) from a crucial user-centric perspective. Beyond mere industry definitions, the study leverages extensive stakeholder consultation, detailed passenger surveys across UK cities (Derby, Brighton, Oxford, Cardiff), and a thorough review of UK and international examples (including visual references to bus stops, timetables, and digital interfaces) to identify what truly constitutes effective information provision. Despite its age, this meticulously structured document remains highly significant for policymakers and operators seeking to understand foundational principles of PTI, pinpoint current gaps, and explore recommendations for coordinated planning, funding, governance, and continuous improvement across Wales, particularly emphasizing user confidence and accessibility.
