McKenzie – INFORMATION PROVISION AND PASSENGER WAITING TIMES 1986

Description

This 19-page working paper, TSU Ref. No. 353, from the prestigious Transport Studies Unit at Oxford University, offers an empirical and exploratory analysis by Richard P. McKenzie into the effect of scheduled information on urban bus passenger waiting times and travel efficiency. Authored around 1986 and part of a broader research initiative sponsored by the Science and Engineering Research Council, the document is professionally formatted with academic rigor. It features numerous data tables and five illustrative figures, including detailed maps of the Aberdeen, Oxford, and West Midlands survey locations. This paper serves as a credible historical resource, providing valuable insights into public transport information provision and passenger behavior from the mid-1980s for transport researchers, urban planners, and historians of transportation infrastructure.
