The great majority of roadside bus stops are old and narrow, thus endangering the safety of bus passengers and pedestrians alike.
There is an urgent need for new bus shelters for protection against snow and rain, and a new user-friendly traffic information service system incorporating information technology that will be suitable for everyone including the disabled and the ‘traffic vulnerable’.
