Getting There Is Half The Fun

This is the second of our user experience chapters, in which we illustrate the impact of particular design features by inviting you to experience the Web along with us as we browse using assistive technology. In this chapter, we are trying to locate and understand the schedule for a specific bus route in Austin, Texas. You will see that most of the barriers we encounter have to do with the lack of table organization and labeling that could, in fact, make this a fairly straightforward and relatively easy task.
