Bus Services (Bloomington Transit):

Other: This is another bus stop that I don't understand! The whole structure is surrounded by some kind of green cage material, except for the door which does not face the street. So if you are standing inside the cage, I don't know how well you can see the bus, but the driver certainly cannot see you. Plus, once you've decided it's time to stand up and go, you've got to hustle out of the back and scoot all the way around the structure. If this is not a complete wackadoo design, I would enjoy an explanation. But if it IS wackadoo, please warn the future bus stop installers and perhaps fix this one. It takes up an awful lot of sidewalk real estate to be wrong.

This shelter's design was made to conform with the ADA rules requiring that bus shelters have three feet of navigable sidewalk on the front and side. The perforated aluminum shelter was selected to provide more shelter for passengers than the canopy-style shelters without walls and to prevent the danger of broken glass that was experienced with the previous shelter style. The aluminum sides allow for passengers to see out of the shelter as well as for drivers to see in the shelter during clear conditions.
