We have tested a timetable on line 15 where the bus departure times from the starting stops vary hourly. For example, the first departure times of line 15 from Mäntylä are at 5.30, 6.31, 7.32, 8.33 and 9.35.
Usually, timetables are planned so that the hourly departure time is always the same. If the first departure times of line 15 in the morning had been planned according to the traditional method, they would have been at 5.30, 6.30, 7.30, 8.30 and 9.30.
A departure time that varies hourly is called a dynamic timetable. In a dynamic timetable, the variation in the travel time used by the bus between the starting and ending stops between rush hour and off-peak hours is taken into account.
Tell us which timetable model you think works better! Is it dynamic hourly variable or traditional hourly always the same?
We will draw two 30-day season tickets for the OSL app among all respondents.
It will take about 2–4 minutes to answer. The questionnaire is in Finnish only.
