Perforated aluminum panels (also available in polycarbonate) are located in the rear wall and downstream end wall. Solar-powered LED illumination under the shelter roof provides passenger security. Slat rail benches with seat-delineators that also serve as arm rests sport comfortable back rest perfect for revenue-generating advertising. Additionally, larger 17-foot shelters feature perforated metal benches with seat delineators and solar-powered 32-inch ePaper bus information displays with self-adjusting light and brightness based on sunset, sunrise, and ambient light detected via photosensor. The agency-branded display connects passengers to the next three bus arrival times with ADA-compliant large tile numbering. A QR code provides quick access to real-time information on mobile devices to keep passengers connected well after departing the bus stop.
