(24 Aug 2014, 4:42 pm)Greg in Weardale wrote A surprising number of people cannot read a full bus timetable at all, others cannot understand the principle that if their stop doesn't have its own time, they need to use the nearest time BEFORE their stop. Also many people misunderstand column headings like NS, S, Sch, etc. They may find it easier to use the list of departures on bus stops, rather than a full timetable such as those in leaflets. And many of the people who can't read timetables can read perfectly well and don't have learning difficulties; they just can't deal with timetables. They may often be the people who don't realise they need to put their hand out to stop a bus and wonder why it sails by.
Well dont you think people should start telling these people how to read it? Timetables dont get published to be ignored which is exactly what these people are doing. If they dont know how to read it then they can do what we all had to do and learn.
