I started this discussion on mastodon, but want to here too. If you could create the perfect bus stop, what would it have? Here are some of my ideas:

⛑ Safety:

  • Shelters: no advertisements blocking views. Enclosed shelters must have 2+ exit points.
  • Solar lights

♿ Accessibility:

  • A space in shelters for wheelchairs.
  • Marked wide paved section for wheelchairs & those with mobility difficulties to board a ramp onto the bus.
  • Braille on bus stop signs & tactile pavement.

🚲Other:

  • Bike racks
  • Vending Machines
  • Public water fountain
  • Tiny library

Do you have more ideas?

Edit: realized the photo i added is ai, but i can’t seem to get rid of it so 🤷‍♀️

    That’s a cool idea, it could eventually help them adjust service if a lot of people are requesting buses a certain day.

    Or simply act as an anonymized data source for future changes. The time when someone requests a bus is different from when someone actually gets on a bus
