Bus Stop Design and Culture & Architecture









Adshel Classic - Revit


Parramatta Bus Stops


Guideline is available online:

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.
