Abstract

Bus shelters in Delhi have been neglected so much so that they are now referred to as conflict zones. Cyclists and waiting commuters occupy the bus lane, buses pick and drop passengers at random spots, on the road, and hawkers "encroach" upon areas designated for pedestrians and commuters. Responding to these problems, a design exercise has been initiated for the development of 88 bus shelters on the Northern Ring Road, Delhi. Systemic parameters and performance specifications have been designed based on the initial survey of 15 sites spread throughout Delhi. The bus shelter designs are site specific and based on the survey of each site. Post construction survey conducted at these sites are being used to update the systemic parameters and performance specifications and develop it into a manual. For the covering abstract see ITRD E116619.
