6.3 Con ven tion al at-stop in formationExisting situation6.3.1 The quality of at-stop information about bus services and when and wherethey operate varies quite significantly from place to place within the studyarea. At one extreme, there are bus stops with real-time information screens,shelters with stop-specific timetable information and bus flags which namethe locality and the services stopping there. At the other extreme there aresome places where buses have traditionally stopped but which lack anyevidence (bus f lag, road markings etc) that this is the case.6.3.2 Most stops, of course, have a level of information somewhere in b etweenthese extremes. They usually have some infrastructure on the ground tohighlight their existence to potential passengers, but not the full comp lementof information prospective passengers may require. In a similar way, thevarious sources of information (at-stop, printed information from operatorsand local authorities, the official NaPTAN database which updates Traveline)may not give the same name for the same stop.6.3.3 Both local authorities produce at–stop timetable displays for the bus servicesthat they financially support. Timetables for commercially operated servicesare produced by the major bus operators; First, Stagecoach and Wilts &Dorset. The division in responsibility is logical, but results in the productionand presentation of at-stop information for the most important and heavilyused services being outside the control of the local authority. In most cases,the major bus operators display timetab les that are not stop-specific and forwhich the font size is often very small. The timetab les can be difficult to readand spare timetable case space often un-utilised.6.3.4 Most people, even regular bus users, do not enjoy reading bus timetabledisplays. Most people are prepared to look at timetable inf ormation for 8seconds and ‘if after this length of time they have not been able to interpretsome useful information for which they are searching they are very likely togive up trying’ [ATCO 2004:7]. Information therefore needs to bestraightforward, simple and highly legible.Doc No 3 Rev: B Date: November 2008 125G:\Final Report Web version\CTR-ADA <strong>Study</strong> Report Rev9.4. doc
Suggested good practice6.3.5 It is now relatively easy to produce high quality, stop-specific timetableinformation (see Figures 6.1 and 6.2). These can be simp ler and clearer thantraditional matrix timetab le display formats, and this is certainly anadvantage for those users who are unfamiliar with the area and have little orno prior knowledge of the local bus services.Figure 6.1: Stop-specific timetable at Clive,Shropshire(maintained by Shropshire County Council)Figure 6.2: Stop-specific timetable at EastHarptree(maintained by Bath & North EastSomerset Council)Doc No 3 Rev: B Date: November 2008 126G:\Final Report Web version\CTR-ADA <strong>Study</strong> Report Rev9.4. doc
