Title: How do fares and route information work for YOU? Post by: grahame on July 10, 2022, 07:19:06 From Chris Watts on Facebook yesterday (((here)) (https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid031s6vPWbftX1iTCEXVwnTPFQVandT9SNYu8cHxbZvcWsrbbthyzQuBLcRaYspssL9l&id=100010958672004))
Quote Pubic transport musing on this Saturday morning . Those operating public transport , especially buses which don’t have the added control of fixed rails , too easily forget how daunting it is for a newcomer ( and often not so new ) to unravel the complexities of the network , stops , timetables , fares , rules and regulations before stepping into the confusing maze the experts have created . They must look again at how they create information and it’s clarity and accuracy , and strive to make public transport really easy to use . Some do it well , I use Warsaw public transport a lot and they really make a great job at this , others either don’t bother , or believe passengers love complex puzzles . This is a poll asking for your PERSONAL view of the current system, also giving you the option of disagreeing with Chris if you wish. Title: Re: How do fares and route information work for YOU?

"Would like to see the system simplified in order that I can easily and confidently obtain the cheapest fare for my journey" - that might also encourage a few people back to the railways too.

I have added that option - thank you for the suggestion. I normally resist changing running polls, but that change is so early and so important that the desirability of having the option trumps my concerns.
