McKenzie – AN ASSESSMENT OF THE UTILITY OF BUS STOP INFORMATION 1986

Description

This 17-page academic working paper, “An Assessment of the Utility of Bus Stop Information” (TSU Ref. No. 352), was authored by Richard P. McKenzie from the Transport Studies Unit, Oxford University, and published in 1986. It details research from a Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) initiative on information technology in public transport. The paper investigates passenger perceptions of bus stop information (timetables, fares, and location names) through surveys conducted in Aberdeen, Oxford, and the West Midlands. Featuring statistical tables, urban maps of survey locations, and a practical photograph of a bus stop flag, its format is highly informative. From a reputable institution, this meticulously researched report offers valuable insights for transport operators, planners, and researchers on passenger information systems and urban mobility.
