This transport measure requires the provision of a ‘system’, installed in a suitable location, which displays up-to-date information on local public transport systems. This could include a ‘real time’ display or other innovative system which allows building users to plan their daily travel based on current transport information.
Tablets
The provision of a tablet may be appropriate provided the following requirements are met:
- It is installed and fixed in place in a suitable location.
- It is dedicated to the use of displaying up-to-date information on local public transport systems.
- It is justified as appropriate, based on the number and type of building users.
Smartphones
Solutions which rely on smartphone ownership cannot be considered compliant. Whilst smartphone use is widespread, it is not universal, therefore such solutions cannot be considered as meeting the needs of all potential building users.
Paper timetables
The provision of paper timetables or a notice board cannot be considered compliant for this transport measure.
Multiple building developments
The system must be conveniently located for all building users. Therefore, unless it can be justified, a single display serving multiple buildings cannot be considered compliant.
External transport information systems
The intent is that building users can refer to the transport information system and review their travel options before beginning their onward journey. External systems cannot, therefore, be considered compliant.
