Abstract
This the second part of a paper discussing the problems of putting across information about bus travel in London. Part 1, published in ID J 5/1, described the basic needs of bus users and the development of a new bus map for central London. In Part 2, reactions to the new map are described and the new design is analysed, with an examination of cartographic problems such as complex routeing, road naming, railway station location and one-way streets.
