Walker – BUS SERVICES IN TWO TOWNS 1993

Description

Authored by M. Walker in January 1993 as post-graduate research from the University of Wales, College of Cardiff, this circa 90-page document, “Bus Services in Two Towns,” offers a valuable snapshot of public transport at a critical juncture. It meticulously compares bus services in Merthyr Tydfil and Radstock, focusing on the immediate aftermath of the 1986 deregulation. The research investigates service levels, stability, quality, ridership patterns, information provision, and crucially, customer perception across two distinct urban estates. Presented with clear tables, detailed bar charts, and geographical maps of the study areas, the report is rich in visualized data. Its academic origin lends strong trustworthiness, making it an excellent primary source for understanding early 1990s public transport dynamics and the socio-economic impacts of deregulation in the UK.
