Attitudes of bus operators towards real-time transit information tools

This study focuses on the views and values of bus operators regarding the use of real-time information and about future transit rider information applications. Results found almost all surveyed to be positive or neutral to the provision of real-time information, and to be receptive to new information applications. Additional tools to support blind and deaf-blind riders, and applications to help identify physical stop, shelter and bus issues (such as graffiti, broken parts or a need for lights) were most widely supported.
