Good practice 10 36 Giving simple and useful travel information to customers Without high investments in travel information, the city of Yogjakarta (Indonesia) succeeded to provide an easy-touse and understandable public transport service based on high-frequency services. The public transport network in Yogjakarta (Indonesia) was simplified covering 10 radial and 2 orbital lines, making it possible to provide highfrequency transport services. Every bus is equipped with several panels (sometimes just cardboard) indicating the line number from 1 to 12 and, on the front of the vehicle, a wooden board indicated the major stops on that line. Thanks to this information system (and within budget restrictions), the local operator KOPATA managed to offer a very simple public transport network making it possible for travellers to orient themselves with ease. Yogjakarta, Indonesia Good passenger information is a deciding factor in the competitiveness of public transport
Easing access to public transport with information technology Amman, Jordan The Automated Fare collection system was launched in 2001 in Amman (Jordan) using contactless smart cards. It offers a lot of advantages for bus riders and the company. It reduces long queues at bus stops and eliminates the need to search for change. It also makes the customers’ commute more convenient and efficient. The advantage for the company was the elimination of the fraud factor, coin-counting and sorting which consumed much time. Smart cards can be recharged in many locations (e.g. bus terminals or big supermarkets). Riders simply wave their cards in a front of a reader to board the bus, without inserting it into a slot or the need of removing it from a person’s wallet. This advanced system also provides transport indicators such as numbers of passengers during the day or during the peak hours. New electronic ticketing makes journeys easier for public transport users Good practice 11 37
