There are two bus stop designs: Adshel
Classic and Adshel ‘Mini’ Classic.
Adshel Classic - https://goo.gl/maps/Sd97RrBRY1p and https://goo.gl/maps/V15WNdemhMw -
bus stops nearest to me.
No Adshel ‘Mini’ Classic because the footpath
is broad along here.
Slightly larger one is here: https://goo.gl/maps/g3Vsp9QYxFv - but only three times in length and the same
design, a few stops away from where I
live.
Where few passengers go - https://goo.gl/maps/R4o6F5n93XF2
3. Conclusions
The most critical conclusion is that there
is still only a limited pedestrian perspective represented in the tools and guidelines
that assist designers, policymakers and regulators on the design and
implementation of street furniture. Adherence to relatively simple design
guidelines at the design stage will improve conditions for pedestrians in terms
of both safety and amenity. Safety issues including pedestrian safety should be
paramount, and will be satisfied in most cases by the application of the best
practice guidelines. Given the range of
different types of street furniture and the range of locations where they are
provided, guidelines cannot be universal. In certain cases community
priorities may determine that other
social or historical values and benefits from street furniture must be
balanced with a reduced but still reasonable level of road user safety.

Would councils ever spend on bus stop designs and let the designers have a chance? That will create lively environment with each bus stop being different.
