Innovation in designing BUS STOPS as a modern requirement

الملخص EN

Public transport stops or commonly known as bus stops are functional elements of the transport system.

the passengers highly rely on the availability of bus stops and most preferably the furnished ones.

their design is based on technical parameters and standardization that are set by the governmental authorities and regulatory bodies.

nevertheless, public transport stops can play an important role in the urban environment.

indeed, they are also an opportunity to generate and enhance public spaces.

ordinary public transport stops are widely spread throughout the cities and are neglected by urban designers and by the scientific debate.

(brovarone, 2021) this research study is all about exploring how the potential role of bus stops as shaping features of the urban environment is dealt with in the scientific debate, presenting some examples that express this potential and proposes various design principles.

public transport stops can undoubtedly concur to shape the urban public space but also need to be transformed for public authenticity and meeting.

bus stations are meant to fulfill a complete set of functional and operational requirements.

in this sense, the architectural expression and type of structure, together with the selected materials, should respond to these requirements.

it is most believed that steel structures are predetermined to provide this mechanism and are bound to be hard enough to sustain for a long time.
