Context of Use

Initially the new bus route poles would be installed at inner-city bus stop. It is not necessary to have the poles installed in Bus-way stations as there are too many routes to display on the one pole and it is easy enough as is with large maps and digital time tables. All of the poles will be next to a road, so it is import that the pole is aesthetically appropriate, easy to see from a distance and meet public safety criteria.




Many contexts of use exist for the Press Destination. Obviously its main and most important context is catching the bus. As the general population increases, so do the amount of public transport commuters. The Press Destination will both encourage and assist when catching bus services in Brisbane.


Our intent was to design a bus stop pole that would be easy accessible to people who are physically or mentally impaired. Current bus time tables are useless to people who are blind or cannot read. By designing a bus stop that caters to these disabilities, means that anyone is able to use it. Three features of the design assist with this; brail, the priority seating button (activates a speaker both at the stop and on the bus) and the physical shape of route on pole.


Another main context of use for our device is everywhere other then the stops themselves. Twitter pages will be set up for each bus stop in Brisbane. This will allow commuters to access all information on selected bus stop; route images, bus numbers, times, location and capacity.
