Bus Boarding Platform

Typical Dimension: 7”H, L and W varies

Cost: $$$$

A bus boarding platform is a platform that is installed at transit stops with existing curbside bicycle lanes. Bus boarding platforms reduce conflicts between transit riders and people biking, improve bus efficiency by reducing the need for busses to pull in and out of the travel lane, and maintain a direct path for people biking in the bicycle lane. Quick build boarding platforms are modular in nature and can include ramps up and down from the bicycle lane to the designated pedestrian crossing. When planning for installation, consider transport and storage needs.
