Design bus stop

[Sam] 09:30 on December 1, 2010

 Ningyocho is a stylish city with history and tradition.

In the small neighborhood where the downtown atmosphere remains, there are many traditional crafts shops and well-established stores.
The Setouchi City, Ningyo City, and Bettara City, which are held every season, can experience the seasonal feeling in the unique life of Japan, which is now less felt.

A design bus stop that imitates the scenery of the area seen in Ningyocho.

It is interesting to look at the casual street scene again.

pencilAlthough buses are more difficult to maintain regular operation than other public transportation systems, it has not always been sufficient in Japan for the development of waiting spaces for bus stops on the street, and some of them have only display boards.

Since 2008, the Metropolitan Transportation Bureau has started operation of a new type of "bus stop with advertisements" suitable for the landscape and cityscape of Tokyo (trial installation in 2007), and it has become quite noticeable.

It is an industry-academia collaboration design with Tokyo Metropolitan University, and has characteristics such as (1) wind rain protection, large operation system diagram (2) Tama cedar wood bench, and (3 LED lighting for metropolitan industrial and industrial high school students) and stainless steel pillars. It is said that a frame will be set up and the installation and maintenance costs will be covered by advertising fees revenue.

It has a cleanliness and a bright atmosphere than a general bus stop.
It will also contribute to reducing the irritability of waiting time.
