Abstract
It is desired that the route bus, which should be a familiar public transportation to people, is easy to use for everyone. However many people often get on a bus with psychological resistance because basic information on bus usage is not very clearly announced. Therefore this paper aims to investigate the actual condition of information, especially bus route map and examines between the bus route map design and ease of understanding of them. First, we organized the characteristics such as the number of bus stops, bus line and etc., and classified them into six groups. Second, evaluation experiments were conducted, factors related to understandability were clarified from the viewpoint of human behavior and consciousness when seeing the bus route map.
