For the
Wayfinding Project, my group and I selected transit navigation for the
University of Kansas campus. The KU campus is closed for through traffic during
regular school hours and thus the majority of students rely on a combination of
walking and riding the bus system. With this in mind we decided the most
effective improvement we could make would be to improve the bus transit
experience along the most traveled street on campus, Jayhawk Boulevard.
Using
brainstorming strategies we made a list of problems with this major campus
street has. Our group reflected on our
own personal experiences as well as polling students and visitors. We noticed
that the bus stops and routes were not only confusing for new students and
visitors but even for seasoned students.
A major area of frustration for bus riders was which bus was coming and
when it would it arrive. Knowing how
long it will take would help them know if it would be faster to walk or if they
have to time to wait inside a shelter.
