Program
Negotiating density and sustainability with multi-modal mobility; in order for a model city of the future to be sustainable from an environmental, social, and economic standpoint, it must support a seamless transportation network.
Concept
Changing the way you wait - bus stops are thought of as being unsafe, unappealing and in general, no fun. It is our goal to change the way that people wait for the bus by designing a faster system and better waiting facilities.
Location
Barnes and Noble in Torrance, CA
Site
The selected site is based of its:
- proximity to nearby businesses
- location in regards to destinations
- bus switching lines
Services
The location will also provide customers with the ability to pre-purchase their bus tickets, and track information about where their bus is and its estimated time of arrival
Link
There is an unnecessary stigma associated with using public transportation. It does not help that there is a spacial segregation between businesses and bus stops. By physically creating a link between the two, we are able to redefine the bus riding experience. By linking these businesses to bus stops, bus riders will be able to benefit from amenities provided by these business. Some of these include:
- wi fi
- food and drinks
- restrooms
- shopping
- protection from the environment
- comfortable seating
