Warman and Downe – INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT USERS IN LARGE CITIES 1985

Description

Authored by Peter Warman and Hazel Downe from University College London’s Transport Studies Group, this 16-page research paper offers a valuable mid-1980s insight into public transport information requirements within large cities, particularly London. Funded by the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC), the document details findings from extensive household and on-journey surveys, complemented by data from British Rail and London Regional Transport. Presented primarily as dense text supported by detailed statistical tables, it rigorously analyzes user awareness, preferences, and difficulties in accessing travel information across various modes. Though lacking modern visual imagery, its systematic approach to understanding pre-digital information needs makes it a highly trustworthy and historically significant resource for transport planners and researchers examining the evolution of urban mobility and information provision.
