I started this discussion on mastodon, but want to here too. If you could create the perfect bus stop, what would it have? Here are some of my ideas:

⛑ Safety:

Shelters: no advertisements blocking views. Enclosed shelters must have 2+ exit points.
Solar lights

♿ Accessibility:

A space in shelters for wheelchairs.
Marked wide paved section for wheelchairs & those with mobility difficulties to board a ramp onto the bus.
Braille on bus stop signs & tactile pavement.

🚲Other:

Do you have more ideas?

Edit: realized the photo i added is ai, but i can't seem to get rid of it so 🤷‍♀️

Outlet/charging station
A way to pay the fare, charge your card or figure out whatever the payment system is.

That is often the big hurdle in taking a bus in a new city - finding out how and how much to pay and where to buy the right pass.
