Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

PUZZLED PASSENGERS were left standing at bus stops in South Manchester last week when the transport department revised services so that consecutive numbers (within blocks of 10 numerals) travel similar routes. Many failed to realize what routes the new buses would take.

The idea of synchronizing numbers is a good one, particularly for strangers to the city. However, although notices of the changed numbers were put in buses and shelters and revised timetables were available in leaflet form at inquiry offices, my Manchester colleagues suggest the transition might have been facilitated if exact details of the new routes had been posted and more notice given.

Southport had similar problems when revising routes for oneman operation. They came in for strong criticism regarding lack of publicity by the local Labour Party since they only published the changes in the local press.
