Different kinds of bus stops

There are five different types of bus stops in the county. We call it five different levels based on different sets of equipment.

Stop compared to stop points

A stop point is the part of the stop where the bus departs from. A stop can have several stop points. A travel center has, for example, several stop points as there are many routes that must converge at the same stop. A smaller stop along a road usually has two stop locations; one in each direction.

Five different levels of stops

Citylinjen is part of a public transport system known as BRT. The buses run in dedicated bus lanes. There are rules about what facilities must be provided at the stops.

Citylinjen stops can be found on certain routes in Örebro. A Citylinjen stop must include the following:

• Accessible platform, including tactile paving, a visual guidance strip and an R17 kerb.

   

• Lighting around the stop area.

   

• Bicycle parking.

   

• A litter bin.

   

• A bus shelter.

   

• A timetable and other travel information, including information for people who are blind or partially sighted.

   

• Real-time information showing where the bus is right now, not just the timetable.

   

• Digital information displays.

   

• A talking timetable that announces when the bus departs.
