Bus Stopping - Union Street

Looking at the brief a major point of the project is getting on and off the bus. Staying with Union Street for the moment this video shows how bus shelters on Union Street work as a barrier between the road and the passengers when they are queuing. If you look at where the bus stops, the bus and the shelter merge into one object, stopping passengers form wandering onto the road. It also stops passengers from walking out in front of the bus after departing the bus.



This works very well in a city context, where there are many busses and the stops are used frequently. It only works though if the bus drives all use the same method. When the street becomes busy this is sometimes very hard, busses stopping at the other side of the shelter, or a little further along the street.
