Enterprises operating private shuttles will be keen to provide the most premium service for their clients. With this in mind, ramping up their comfort levels and ensuring they are well taken care of while they wait for transport is an absolute must.
Whether your pick-up or dropping-off points are based at a busy transport hub or just an outdoor location, a bus shelter can provide convenient cover for those waiting. From cutting-edge technology like sustainable lighting, to rain-proof protection from innovative designs, they provide many ways those running a shuttle service can add quality for their customers.
Below, we’ll look at some of the multiple advantages enjoyed by operators using these easy to install options.
Keep things comfortable
“Why stand when you can sit?” as the saying goes. If shuttle passengers are waiting, they should be always comfortable, fortunately many bus shelters feature benches and perches that take the weight off tired feet.
Staying dry and sheltered from the wind is another essential whether you’re alighting for a shuttle service or waiting for one. Innovative designs can not only provide cover up top, that discharges rain safely, but also side glazing manufactured from toughened glass or polycarbonate that will keep out unwanted draughts.
Keeping passengers secure and informed
Today’s bus shelters can allow shuttle service operators to give a greater sense of personal safety to passengers. Shelters can be adapted with optional security extras such as Closed-circuit Television (CCTV) systems that monitor activity and solar-powered lighting that charges up during the day and provides illumination for customers at night.
Other add-ons include Real Time Information (RTI) systems that keep those waiting from becoming impatient, clearly showing a countdown of when their next service is expected to arrive.
A low-maintenance option, easily branded
The materials used to make the latest bus shelters are exceptionally simple to keep looking at their best. Instead of being painted, their robust aluminium frameworks are powder coated so they never need refreshing with another coat and are protected against corrosion. Shuttle operators can choose to have their shelters come in any RAL colour they select, ideal when they want to display their branded company colours to clients.
Attractive solutions designed to last
There are multiple designs available for bus shelters so it’s not difficult to find a suitable model to fit a specific location or budget. While some shelters are simple and practical others can be more complex with additional features, but all are built to exacting standards for both quality and safety using premium materials. From galvanised mild steel structures to perforated steel sidings that are vandal resistant, these durable options are made to endure.
