| 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. |
