Bus Stop design
Written By idontspam - 30 May, 2011
Bangalore Bus Analysis Transportation public transport bus stop
DULT is on the lookout for suggestions on bus stop (shelter) design to suggest to relevant authorities. So please post as comments to this post & suggest what you wuld like to see in a bus stop shelter & also what additional features should a bus stop shelter have that will make it an attractive place. It goes without saying it shouldnt become bulky & should have as small a foot print as possible. Feel free to post images & sketches in support.
Chances of this design getting adopted in other cities are better than in Bangalore so keep in mind that this is a statewide suggestion.

They took away the bus stop as it happened in Rajarajeshwari Nagar. It was there at night, gone in morning. They sold the things to a scrap dealer. Wow!
If it works in reality it would be wonderful

Dust bin/trash can at every bus stop is good idea as long as they are well maintained with disposable garbage bin covers etc & cleared at regular intervals at every bus stop irrespective of its location.
Vending machines at every bus shelter or only in few bus shelters? We have machines installed at BWSSB & KPTCL counters but they are manned by some help. Are we planning Vending machine on the same lines at every bus shelter?
The features shown in the pictures are really attractive and if it works in reality it would be wonderful.
Need to demarcate the Bus Stop Limits and the Bus Track

We also need to demarcate the Bus Stop Limits and the bus tracks near the bus stops to prevent haphazard way of parking at the bus stops. Mysore Bank/Majestic Stop is one of the examples of jumbled Bus Stop.
We may also need a small bench to rest for a while. The width of the bench should not be more than 9’’ & the length should not exceed 4’.

This is the Egipura bus shelter on the Intermediate Ring Road. The stainless steel seats have been stolen, apparently using flame cutters. So, now the designs need to make the shelters pilfer-proof.
