"Well, TfL's new designs have a number of enhanced features: lighting will be improved to help customers feel safer and provide better visibility; seats will be introduced for comfort and accessibility; a reflective red vinyl roof will make bus stops more recognisable in darkness and from a distance, while new materials will make the shelters less vulnerable to vandalism. TfL will also install priority seating, signified by a moquette, and CCTV cameras at 10 locations."
"New bus shelters will be introduced in London boroughs Barking & Dagenham, Bexley, Camden, Croydon, Hackney, Havering, Hillingdon, Kingston-upon-Thames, Lambeth, Southwark, Wandsworth and City of Westminster. Locations were selected based on the condition of existing shelters and the number of customers using each bus stop, as well as high crime locations. The first ones were installed at the end of January, with the trial running for the next year."
Transport for London is running a 12-month trial of new bus shelters at 27 locations across multiple boroughs to improve accessibility, safety and customer experience. Locations were chosen based on shelter condition, customer usage and high-crime areas, with the first installations completed at the end of January. Designs include improved lighting, seating for comfort and accessibility, a reflective red vinyl roof for visibility, vandal-resistant materials, priority seating indicated by moquette, and CCTV at ten sites. The program includes a mix of new and refurbished shelters and incorporated feedback from campaign groups and charities such as the RNIB, Suzy Lamplugh Trust and London TravelWatch.
