A detailed study was made of a representative selection of households in Carrick in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The purpose of the study was to define areas of potential improvement in local bus services. Details of travel habits of members of 511 households were acquired from questionnaires. A comparison was made between bus patronage and car use to various destinations within the area. It was concluded that: some local services could be improved; the timing of peak hour services sometimes did not coincide with potential demand; the length of time passengers had to stay in some settlements before catching a return bus was sometimes too long; and co-ordination of local and longer-distance bus services could be improved.
