BUS STOPS

A bus stop is a designated place where buses stop for passengers to board or alight from a bus.Stops at busy locations may have shelters, seating and possibly electronic passenger information systems; less busy stops may use a simple pole and flag to mark the location and "customary stops" have no specific infrastructure being known by their description.

The first ever recorded bus stop was in Bishops Stortford and was believed to be constructed in 1890, this linked Bishops Stortford to the town of Colchester

The construction may include small inbuilt seats. The construction may feature advertising, from simple posters, to complex illuminated, changeable or animated displays. Some installations have also included interactive advertising. Design and construction may be uniform to reflect a large corporate or local authority provider

Bus stops enhance passenger safety.
