The document analyzes planned journeys from Next Buses requests and journey planning queries in the Nexus region. It finds that most Next Buses enquiries are for stops in major cities like Newcastle and Gateshead, and occur between 6am-9am and 5pm-7pm. Journey planning queries peak earlier from 6am-12pm. Most enquiries are for trips within the next 2 hours, though some plan over 24 hours in advance. Mapping shows journeys within cities at rush hours and between cities midday. Further questions are asked about fulfillment, disruptions, quality of service, and integrating live traffic to improve journey planning.
