Interview participants agree that they rely on apps to help them get around – not bus sign information

Participants I interviewed confirmed several of my observations.

  • All participants heavily relied on Google Maps or TripView to determine how to get to new destinations. This suggests that bus stops in itself do not adequate help users

  • All agreed that knowing which stop to alight at or which bus service to take requires knowing the area beforehand or using their phones

  • Vincent said if he needed to know where a bus is going, he would ask the driver. Even then, Vincent observed that some bus drivers cannot even answer his question on whether their service goes to a certain stop. Either that or the bus driver returns a curt reply
