WAITING AND BOARDING-DISEMBARKING STATION FOR URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT

摘要

The waiting station (1) designed to be set on a sidewalk (2) at the immediate edge of a street or a track comprises a protective wall (29) on its front lateral surface. Access to the station is gained through its lateral surfaces or through the rear. Its interior space is divided into a long-term waiting area (13) preceded by a short-term waiting area (14). This station comprises a passageway for boarding-disembarking that opens on the track side onto a threshold (22) marking the position of an entry door of the vehicle when it is stopped. The threshold (22) is surmounted by a canopy (25) extending from the roof (9) of the station and overhanging the entryway of the vehicle to form a protected access path to the vehicle. This invention is of interest to those responsible for urban planning and to manufacturers of urban equipment and public transportation vehicles.
