John Briggs Consultants – RESULTS OF QUANTITATIVE SURVEY INTO THE RELATIVE ACCEPTABILITY OF A NEW AND EXISTING BUS STOP TIMETABLE 1985

Description

This document is a comprehensive 70-page quantitative survey report titled “RESULTS OF QUANTITATIVE SURVEY INTO THE RELATIVE ACCEPTABILITY OF A ‘NEW’ AND ‘EXISTING’ BUS STOP TIMETABLE,” dating from September 1985. Commissioned by London Regional Transport and prepared by John Briggs Consultants, it provides a detailed, authoritative study into user preferences for different bus timetable designs. The report is presented as a scanned original, with clear text and numerous illustrative examples. Crucially, it includes actual full-page reproductions of the “New” and “Existing” timetable designs (for London bus routes 113 and 227), which feature various graphical elements such as clock faces, route maps, and detailed scheduling. These visual comparisons, alongside survey data and conclusions, offer valuable historical insights into public transport user experience research and design considerations from nearly four decades ago, making it a significant resource for transport historians, urban planners, and UX/design researchers interested in historical design practices.
