The objective of this experiment, which was one of the Government's programs of Rural Transport Experiments (Rutex), was to assess the effectiveness of specially-produced information in helping people to make better use of existing public transport services for awkward, multi-stage journeys from rural areas to hospitals. The experiment was based on five hospitals in or near Ayr, which served the population of a large rural area to the south. Leaflets were initially distributed through hospitals. An alternative method of distribution was adopted: hospitals sent leaflets to out-patients with their appointment cards. By this means, all potential bus travellers received leaflets.
