Double Deck Bus Stations

grabcad

The proposed design involves double-deck stations with upper-level access doors, allowing passengers to directly board the upper deck of buses without navigating through stairs and lower decks. This not only speeds up boarding but also enhances comfort. The system operates as a Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) with enclosed stops where fares are paid upon entry, although it's flexible enough to function like standard buses in off-peak hours or low-density areas. This design improves the traditional double-deck operation by eliminating bottlenecks caused by passengers using stairs while boarding and disembarking at stations. The patent application for this innovative idea was submitted earlier this year, with notable shortlistings at Bombardier YouCity Contest and Altran Foundation Contest. Seeking collaboration, the inventor now seeks companies or designers to develop the idea further.
