Policy TRAN3 – Development must be designed for efficient public transport, especially buses and it may be necessary to remove the occasional building in developed areas to allow buses to serve areas more efficiently and remove circuitous routes that cause long travel times and are not attractive to passengers.
We need a more protective design of bus passenger shelter. The current open fronted shelters are useless when the wind is in the ‘wrong’ direction as the wind blows the rain onto the people waiting. (I have personal experience.) Also if vehicles are causing spray this then can easily reach the waiting people. These open fronted shelters do not live up to the name of shelter and must be discouraging passengers.
