Seating

City Bench

City Bench

Through its CityBench program, DOT installs benches at bus stops and in commercial areas to support transit use and to encourage walking. DOT installs two types of benches; both are designed to enhance usability for older adults and people with ambulatory disabilities.

 

LeaningBar

LeaningBar

The LeaningBar, a new element for Select Bus Service and other high ridership bus stops, complements CityBenches by providing another opportunity for transit riders to rest as they wait for the bus. Leaning can be especially appealing to older adults for whom sitting requires greater effort.

 

Bus stop shelter

Bus Stop Shelter

Bus stop shelters are part of the Coordinated Street Furniture Franchise that is managed by JCDecaux. The award-winning, stainless-steel and glass design provides seating and protection for bus users. Bus stop shelters are supported by advertising and generate revenue for the city.
