attractions and accommodation sites (they do not however show the bus stoplocations). The reverse of the map contains timetable information. Thesemaps are therefore useful for residents and visitors alike, and include usefu lvisitor information such as tourist attractions, camping and caravan sites, andwalking routes. DeCC do not produce an equivalent map for their section ofthe Jurassic Coast.6.7 Prin ted publicity: service-specificExisting situation6.7.1 DeCC and DoCC jointly produce the Jurassic Coast by bus CoastLinx53 map.This map is squarely aimed at the visitor market and focuses almostexclusively on the CoastlinX53 service (supported by both County Councils andoperated by bus operator First). The map provides written information ontowns and places of interest along the route, but this unfortunately is at theexpense of having actual timetable information on the map - which would beof greater practical value to the traveller. The location of bus stops is alsomissing from the map, and these would also be of great practical value to thevisitor, as most visitors will be unfamiliar as to where bus stops are located.6.7.2 DeCC and DoCC produce specific timetable leaflets for services that are notoperated by the main bus operators. Most of the DoCC timetab le leaf lets thatare produced are for their demand responsive transport services which are allbranded Door to Dorset.6.7.3 Although the local authorities take the lead, bus operators also producepromotional printed literature, including area books (in the case of Wilts &Dorset) and individual timetab le leaflets, all of which varies in quality. Smalloperators tend to rely on the local authority to promote those services thatare financially supported.Suggested good practice6.7.4 Although local authority publications in the study area demonstrate certainelements of good practice, there is room for improvement. Steps can be taken toimprove both the legibility (and therefore usefulness) of and conformity betweenthe County Councils’ printed publicity. The guidelines have been taken from theATCO Printed Public Transport Information, A Code of Good Practice.Doc No 3 Rev: B Date: November 2008 131G:\Final Report Web version\CTR-ADA Study Report Rev9.4. doc
6.7.5 In terms of layout:- As these publications are only readily available in one size, the font sizeshould be 14 point or larger;- The font type needs to be chosen carefully, with maximum legibility in mind;- Quirky fonts should be avoided in favour of highly legible fonts such asArial;- Lower case print is much easier to read than upper case print and shouldtherefore be used almost exclusively;- Increasing the leading between the lines can improve legibility so leadingof at least 120% should be used (e.g. 14 point type with 16.8 pointleading);- A horizontal line should be provided across the timetab le page, preferablybelow every third line, to act as a guide;- Vertical lines should be avoided where possible as b lank column space ismore effective;- Timetables should appear on quality white paper, and print should be inblack. Shading and coloured tints, other than pale yellow, should beavoided;- Background colour should be used to highlight or supplement specificitems of information, and not be used as the sole means of conveying suchinformation; and- Where a journey does not call at every place shown in the column oftiming points but only at some of them, it is preferable to show this byusing a vertical line or downward pointing arrow in the column for thatjourney. This helps the eye to read down rather than across.6.7.6 The timetab le booklets that are currently produced by DoCC and DeCCfeature a smaller font size than outlined above so applying these fontguidelines will mean that the size of the timetab le booklets increases.However, the result will be increased legibility, which is particularlyimportant for people who are visually impaired, and would ensure that thelocal authorities are complying with Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). At thevery least it should be made clear in the timetab le booklets that larger typetimetables are available on request.Doc No 3 Rev: B Date: November 2008 132G:\Final Report Web version\CTR-ADA Study Report Rev9.4. doc
