Today was presentation day! Ours went well, and we were invited to present again to the whole group.
Our script:
*Bus rolls across and person chases.*
Who thinks buses are great? [audience response]
Who thinks buses are shit? [audience response]
*Quotes from survey roll.* You are not alone! These are quotes from our survey.
Upwards of twenty-four million bus trips are taken in Wellington a year, and almost 80% of Wellingtonians experience travel stress.
Buses can be stressful for many reasons. Often, this comes down to organizing yourself.
We think that through design we can reduce aggravating aspects of using buses as transport.
Through our research we found that being on the bus is not the biggest source of stress, because you can zone out, listen to music, a podcast or talk if you’re traveling with a friend. The hard stuff is more about figuring out where to go, when and getting off or on, especially if you have an irregular schedule.
We found that getting more accessible payment options and real time information about where the next bus is could be helpful.
The average student or worker in the CBD needs a better way to travel by bus, and it is achievable.
How might we give people power over their travel experience and reduce the stress associated with public transportation?
