What is a shelter?
As mentioned, a bus shelter is a waiting place for travellers. However, bus shelters are not the only kind of shelters. For example, it is also possible to use the shelter as a smoking shelter or ticket machine shelter. Shelters are therefore designed to offer travellers comfort and safety in the public space. Bus shelters can also be recognised by the fact that they are half open and largely made of glass.
Because of their usually good visibility in public spaces along roads or railway lines, bus shelters are often provided with advertising displays. This is often done in the form of a large light box on one of the walls of the bus shelter.
Shelter meaning
The term abri (shelter) is derived from the French 'abriter', which means 'to shelter'. This is also the main function of the shelter. Regardless of whether it is used as a bus shelter, smoking shelter or ticket machine shelter. The purpose of a bus shelter is primarily to offer comfort and safety to its users in the public space.
