The Star Rating System
For each place there is a star rating (1 star to 3 star) for value, efficiency of
journey time, and ease of connection.
*** Good value through ticketing deals are available providing
overall good value for the whole journey.
** Two separate tickets must be purchased, although generally good value can
be achieved for the distance
* Two separate tickets must be purchased, and at least
one is likely to be at premium price
*** Direct routes provide the links, and the change point is logically on the
route. The routes in the main represent reasonable speed for a bus journey over the
distance involved.
** Either the routes are not direct, the change point is not logically on the
route to the end destination, or at least one of the routes is a slow option for the
distance travelled.
* More than one of the above applies.
*** The change location either a purpose built terminal with at least some
facilities in or close by, or a major centre that would not prove too inconvenient if
baggage had to be carried.
** The change location is an easily identified
location, and with the
connection available close by.
* There maybe a short walk involved to make the change, and care will
need to be taken to find the location of the connecting service. |
