| Key findings | Most people thought that the quality of bus shelters was adequate. Respondents felt that vandalism was a problem (particularly in Burnley and Hyndburn), although most thought it was only a slight problem. Respondents thought that the quality of bus shelters makes a difference to whether people use the buses, and perceptions of the appearance of the local area, other, more vulnerable, peoples' sense of feeling safe, crime and anti-social behaviour and how safe they feel. The top mentioned improvements for bus shelters were timetable information, better vandal proofing, a quicker response to reports of damage or vandalism. |
