Bus stops are among the most common structures in a city and are also the spaces that most easily reflect urban humanism. They are primarily used by children, the elderly, and visitors. However, over the years, bus stops in the city have seen little change, remaining functionally singular and retaining some irrational designs from years ago.

Bus stops are linear spaces, yet much of their length is often occupied by advertisements. This practice is highly inefficient: not only does it fail to enhance the functionality of the bus stop, but the effectiveness of advertisements is also very low in today’s internet age. They are either ignored by passengers or unseen by passers-by. The long advertisement boards also hinder the efficiency of passengers boarding and alighting. Nowadays, buses mostly use the front and rear underbody design. We have redesigned the layout of the bus stops to allocate more space to users and reduce the obstructions caused by long boards. This can enhance the safety of the bus stops, provide a more open view for those divided by non-motorized vehicle lanes, and avoid potential dangers. The increased gray space creates a variety of waiting areas: for standing, sitting, or leaning. This helps to make different groups of people feel more comfortable.

To adapt to changes in road width and urban space, we have adopted a modular approach to supplement the functions of bus stops. In new urban areas, where there is more space and urban services are relatively sparse, we have equipped bus stops with convenient functions such as free mobile phone charging and beverage purchase. In the narrow old urban areas, bus stops are transformed into pillar-type structures, focusing on information inquiry and schedule display.
