6.3.6 At-stop bus information in the study area should, wherever possible, include:- Stop-specific timetable information;- Little or no need for passengers to refer to codes, letters and symbols inthe timetable;- A route map (stylised or geographically accurate) with the destinationsserved by the service;- Useful information/maps on location of visitor attractions and access tothe Coast Path;- A minimum of size 14 font size for timetable displays; and- Black type on a white or yellow background for maximum legibility.6.3.7 Stop-specific timetables allow superfluous detail to be omitted. This can freeup space to increase font sizes and include a route map. ATCO guidance statesthat ‘generally 14 pt is the ideal size for most parts of a bus stop display,though in certain circumstances it may be appropriate to go down to 10 pt.’[ATCO 2004:19]6.3.8 The 24 hour clock has now become standard for bus timetables, but anexplanation as to how the 24 hour clock works should be included for theavoidance of doubt.6.3.9 As noted above, the major bus operators maintain timetable information fortheir services. The County Councils would have to weigh up the extra timeand costs involved in taking on the responsibility for producing timetableinformation on these services against the benefits of having greater controlover the design and of the information. Another risk in taking on moretimetable display production is the increasing number of times that major busoperators change their timetables.6.3.10 Wherever space allows (i.e. in all shelters) larger timetable cases should b eused so the size of the display case is not a constraint on the informationprovided (see Figure 6.3 overleaf). It is recommended that, whereverpossible, information on the location - and means of accessing - loca lattractions is provided at bus stops. Transport is not an end in itself. Manypeople using bus services in the study area will be visitors who are unfamiliarwith the area and would benefit from information once they have alighted ata bus stop.Doc No 3 Rev: B Date: November 2008 127G:\Final Report Web version\CTR-ADA Study Report Rev9.4. doc
Figure 6.3: Stop-specific timetable information in large timetable cases,with the use of colour, is provided in selected locations in the study areaand should continue to be rolled out wherever space allows.6.3.11 An audit should take place to identify which bus stops have timetab leinformation, and whether such information should be provided. Whilst manystops are very rural, they either are, or could be, used by visitors due to theirproximity to the coast, attractions, or walking routes. At-stop timetableinformation should be provided where potential use requires it and wherefunds allow.6.3.12 Finally, the mechanism by which local authorities ensure that bus stopinformation is up to date could be reviewed. When bus operators makechanges to their services, they submit a change of registration document tothe office of the Traffic Commissioner, a copy of which goes to the loca ltransport authority. When the local transport authority receives this copy,this is generally the trigger to change the information on the SWPTI system,Doc No 3 Rev: B Date: November 2008 128G:\Final Report Web version\CTR-ADA Study Report Rev9.4. doc
