A well-designed bus shelter is essential for any urban transit system or employee shuttle programme. A good shelter requires little maintenance and is resistant to damage. Furthermore, a good shelter provides:
- Visibility.
- Easy access to the bus.
- A pleasant environment for bus users
A well-designed, comfortable waiting area may make waiting for a bus more pleasurable and even amusing.
While most of us don’t think about it, a few key differences distinguish the good from the bad.
Let’s have a look at some additional features:
High quality construction
A good bus shelter should be long-lasting and constructed of high-quality materials. Also, the shelter should not easily rust, degrade, or corrode. It should also withstand the effects of the sun, wind, and rain.
Customers feel comfortable, safe, and protected while standing beneath a bus shelter made of high-quality components. Our BDS bus shelter is made of steel and offers the option of adding extra seating. It can also be powder coated in any colour and galvanised for added corrosion resistance.
The bus shelter must have a low upkeep
The materials used in a bus shelter should last a long time and be simple to maintain. When shelter components need to be updated or repaired over time, they should be simple to replace without removing the entire building.
Vandal-proof
Unfortunately, vandals often destroy bus shelters. That is why using long-lasting, vandal-resistant materials is essential in the design and construction of bus shelters.
The Bus Shelter must be functional
A good bus shelter should be functional and capable of meeting the demands of its customers. For example, you may want a larger shelter in a busy metropolitan centre than in a rural area. The design, whether modern or traditional, should blend in with the surrounding neighbourhood. Our Topaz Bus Shelter blends beauty and simplicity without sacrificing quality.
Location
While aesthetics play a role in establishing what makes a good bus stop, it is equally critical to consider how practical the stop is for users. It should be in a convenient site, set back from the kerb and paths, with easy access exit and entry points away from the prevailing wind.
Visible
Users should be able to check through the shelter, even if seated, to see if a vehicle is coming. All of our shelters can be powder painted in any colour and galvanised for additional corrosion resistance, making them suitable for bus stops.
