It is very, very easy to use. Not at all. Existing IT systems tend to be over-engineered and cumbersome. They require major changes to the way the public transport industry handles the data. With very complex systems, like the national bus network, their algorithms will be needlessly slow.
Data management is, in fact, a major headache.
For buses, there was no national electronic database, until we created one. Information from operators and local authorities is inconsistent both in manner of presentation and quality. Cleaning up the data is a critical part of the process. And use of electronic data production systems is, most certainly, no guarantee of quality. 1,500 coach stops, all 2,500 rail stations and 12,000 key bus stops and can be customised infinitely to suit local requirements.
