Make public transport easy and accessible with a bus shelter from Kingfisher Direct.

Bus shelters are essential to the infrastructure of public transport links in urban and rural areas. More than just sheltered seating away from the wind and rain, modern bus shelters are designed with a multitude of factors in mind, taking into account comfort, safety, accessibility, aesthetics, and more.

Key features of a bus shelter include:

• Weather Protection: The primary function of a bus shelter is to protect from the elements. This includes shielding passengers from rain, snow, wind, and strong sunlight, making the waiting experience more comfortable, tolerable and encouraging the use of public transport.

• Comfort & Convenience: Bus shelters offer a safe and sheltered waiting area that, more often than not, provides seating. This offers comfort, especially for older individuals and those with disabilities, who may find standing for extended periods of time challenging.

• Information: Many contemporary bus shelters incorporate route maps, timetables, and real-time arrival information displays. This vital information makes planning their journeys straightforward and stress-free. Displays can also be used for public service announcements, emergency information, or advertising. 

• Safety & Security: Bus shelters in visible, busy locations can deter antisocial behaviour and increase the safety of passengers, particularly during evening hours. A designated bus shelter also prevents waiting passengers from congesting the walkways or roads.

• Accessibility: Bus shelter designs prioritise accessibility, ensuring that shelters are usable by individuals with disabilities. This includes features like level entry, ample space for wheelchairs, and tactile paving for the visually impaired.
