Designing bus corridors
Good design sits at the heart of safe and efficient bus routes that people will choose to use over other modes.
We offer an end to end design solution, from concept scheme and emerging preferred route to a preferred route stage and onward to detailed design and preparation of tender documentation. We consider how buses interact with other transport infrastructure, including cycle lanes, to ensure safe passenger experiences regardless of mode.
Designing supporting infrastructure
Maintaining reliable speeds and providing comfortable locations to wait or transfer are critical to attracting passengers. We apply design skills to street layout and junction operations to provide priority for buses, we design high quality walking and cycling facilities, and we develop interchanges and mobility hubs that are attractive and functional.
