Final destination at the top and the via points below. If the blind was deeper a couple of via points could be displayed beneath the final destination?
I often think the Scottish blinds from way back when looked ugly, but they had the information passengers needed.
At times like this, I think back to step entrance buses and how the majority managed fine.
Climbing them became easier for some when lights were installed in the steps and Dptac guidance introduced coloured grab handles and the diamond strip on the steps.
It became even easier for everyone when low floor vehicles became the norm.
The patter from some about these blinds 'being fine for me', 'ask the driver', 'check timetables' smacks of a huge 'I'm all right Jack mentality' as far as I'm concerned.
Unfortunately, just like when we had the step entrance buses, it isn't alright for some...
