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:
β Safety:
- Shelters: no advertisements blocking views. Enclosed shelters must have 2+ exit points.
- Solar lights
βΏ 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.
π²Other:
- 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 π€·ββοΈ
No problem, I hope you had a good nights sleep!
I thought more of the "madame pipi" which was a job in france where, usually an old lady, sat in front of the public toilets and kept everything tidy.
Not very cost effective in our hyper capitalistic society ofc.
