We were asked to design a bus shelter concept which could be implemented for various locations in and around the City of Kingston. Our research concluded that there was a need for two sizes of Bus Shelter-large for popular routes and small for peripheral locations. Our concept utilizes advanced fabrication methods of reinforced fiberglass (similar to that used for boat building) to produce shelters which are clean, durable, and suggest an efficient contemporary image for the bus system.
Both versions are based on the same modular components and include a transparent windscreen panel in the shape of a parallelogram, and a cantilevered canopy which extends in the direction of the bus’s arrival. The larger version features an integral trash receptacle and more seating possibilities. This pair of eye-catching bus shelter prototypes strives to enhance and dignify the waiting experience while contributing a high-profile statement to both the urban and peripheral environs.
