Passenger Facilities at Fully Accessible Bus Stops

by Nick Tyler and Martha Caiaffa

Abstract

This paper discusses ways in which users’ needs can be incorporated into the design of fully accessible bus stops. The paper discusses the policy framework and basic principles underlying accessibility issues and bus stop design, then gives some examples of users’ needs as expressed during a research project which is investigating the design of fully accessible bus stops (EXCALIBUR). Some design issues are considered with reference to these needs and some possible solutions are discussed using examples which are due to be constructed for on-street testing and evaluation during the EXCALIBUR project.
