Especially in the suburbs, buses should be a desirable transit alternative to the automobile. If this is to be the case, excellent accommodations should be provided:
- Highly visible, well designed and comfortable shelters with ample space for pedestrians.
- Adequate space for the buses to stop, with turn-out spaces on the roadway if necessary.
- Clear and complete signage about schedules, routes, as well as a neighborhood orientation map.
- Visible locations near supporting land-uses, community destinations, and important intersections.
