How to improve bus stops?
Channel: More Than Transit
Date: 30/12/2022

In the previous video, we discussed how important bus stops are to transit users. In this video, let's talk about the approaches to how can we make them more user-friendly! It's time to improve your local bus stops, in many ways you could! 

There are multiple ways, and it is NOT just around adding more user-welcoming features to a stop. It involves lots of policy and design-based changes. 

Special thanks to my friend Rachel Snider for doing the voiceover.
