Research: Passenger's Visual Environment


It's necessary to understand what the visual environment of the passenger is like. Low Floor bus.


The photos above show what the journey from the front doors to the back of the bus is like.
The environment is generally clean, well lite with lots of windows, and there is a strong sense of colour coordination with the yellow bars and blue seating.

The floors are a neutral gray, and the lighting is provided underneath the side ceiling advertisement stripes. There is a security mirror by the rear doors (for the driver?)



The above photos show a handful of the type of signage that a passenger may or may not notice.
There are a number of signs that can probably be removed to clean up the visual clutter that they create. For example, C2 can could be removed (passengers are quite aware of where the rear doors are without a sign. A1 could be removed and the symbols could be added to the fabric of the special cars. For example, Disabled parking spots are labeled directly, not by small sticky signs next to them.



Some detail photos of what to press/pull to request a stop, special seating, rear doors.
