Opinions were sought from 199 respondents of Phase 2 of the OPTIC (Operation Public Transport in Carrick) survey living in the predominantly rural area of Carrick (population 18,000) in South Ayrshire, Scotland about various aspects of local bus services. All were from households with little or no access to a car, and were in one of three groups: young people aged 12-24, housewives not in paid employment, and the elderly. All lived in the smaller settlements in the area. The purpose of the study was to provide a subjective element in the OPTIC survey. Bus services catered better for shopping and other daytime activities than for those outside normal working hours. The social and recreational transport needs of young people were not well served. Nevertheless, a high degree of satisfaction amongst respondents was evident, especially those in rural reas with relatively sparse services. It was felt that improvements might be made by better bus-bus and bus-rail service co-ordination and by the concentration of rural services on fewer days with better timing.
