Existing bus stops are being upgraded and some new bus stops built along future SmartBus routes. This ensures that passengers have improved waiting areas and safer and easier access to buses.
SmartBus bus stops provide:
- real-time travel information at high-use bus stops
- timetables, route maps and local area maps
- ability for low-floor buses to ‘meet’ SmartBus stops at the same level, eliminating a ‘step’ to board the bus
- clear access paths to the bus stop
- tactile ground surface indicators
- compliance with Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) standards
- facilities that are cleaned regularly.
Bus stop improvements along future route 902 started in August 2009.
