COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS OF NICOSIA'S CITIZENTS
"I applaud this initiative wholeheartedly! Coming from a country where public transport is of the highest standard (Netherlands).
I was shocked arriving here and seeing the state of public transport. It's never to late to improve, bravo!"
"The new bus should be uniquely designed and easily identifiable. The design itself should be an advertisment for Nicosia
buses and should in no way be related to the current bus services."
"Accessibility for persons with disabilities, space to store googds and stuff under seats, abiliy to carry bicycles if a bicyclist
wants to use the bus and carry his bicycle, automated ticketing system."
"Cleanliness, functionality and to be time-saving - these are the most important aspects of any bus system."
"The bus stops must have a good shelter to protect the commuter from the hot sun in summer and from rain in winter. It also
should have a sitting bench for elderly people and other commuters. There must be information on route maps and time
schedules of the buses. Buses must be new, comfortable, air-conditioned and kept clean. Staff must be professional and
polite."
"The most important advantage a bus should have is faster access to a destination.. A way must be found to commute faster
than a car in order to make the bus a more attractive option, especially during morning, noon and afternoon rush hours."
"The hot weather in Cyprus makes waiting at the bus stops, most of the time simply impossible. Bus stops should be ventilated
and with air condition - somehow. That would make it worth waiting!"
"Easy access for handicapped people."
"In the bus stops there must be a sign to tell you the time the next bus is arriving. Tickets for the bus must be easily supplied
from different areas. Bus routes must cover all Nicosia, not only the center. Information on bus routes and bus numbers
must be given."
"Buses should run more frequently and working hours should be extended to longer than eight o'clock at night."
"There should be enough space for baby trolleys ans luggage."
