Land use, the transportation networks and accessibility are fundamental considerations for determining where bus stops should be located to best serve local communities.
Bus stops should be spaced to balance accessibility and efficiency of the bus service and to provide ‘paired’ bus stops for services running in opposite directions.
The safety of users of bus stops is paramount. This includes road safety aspects incorporating the harm minimisation principles of Vision Zero and the Safe System as well as the personal safety and security of people waiting at stops and the health and safety of bus drivers.
