25 Bus Shelter Innovations

Transit Stops are Being Transported to New Frontiers

— January 14, 2011 — Eco
As demonstrated by these featured bus shelter innovations, the days bus shelters were simply used for protection are long gone. Now, in this brave new world of constant innovation, forward-thinking companies and designers are realizing that there is real power and value to these previously ignored structures.

The simple fact of the matter is that almost every person living in an urban environment will stand under at least once in their life, which makes the idea of not exploring the marketing, comfort, and green-friendly potential that bus shelters have for innovation seem both ludicrous and absurd. Check out these featured bus shelter innovations to get a feel for just how far these structures have developed.
