Abstract
The aim of the government and the transport companies to promote public transport is dependent on a decrease of the disadvantages of public transport. The promotion needs a punctual schedule, journey time, and good accessibility together with easily recognizable stopping places. The accommodation at stopping places needs to be such that a passenger has protection from rain and wind and can get information. The possibilities of combination with other public provisions can be a help. In the reconstruction of residential areas or the planning of new areas these aspects of public transport must be considered. Several designs of public stops and shelters are presented.
