By adding imagination, creative design, and technology into the mix, bus stops can go beyond their utilitarian function, and make waiting a fun and enriching experience for commuters. They approached the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) with the idea to design a prototype bus stop as a fun social space and Project Bus Stop was born.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Singapore\u2019s Architecture &amp; Urban Design Excellence (AUDE) programme facilitated a multi-agency partnership comprising the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore, Land Transport Authority, National Environment Agency, National Library Board, National Parks Board, Singapore Land Authority, and URA. This ground-up bus stop design features built-in WiFi, mobile phone charging points, interactive smart boards that provide bus info content, e-books, journey planners, a green roof, solar panels, bicycle parking, a book exchange corner, and even a swing. It also showcases artwork by local illustrator Lee Xin Li. Located along Jurong Gateway Road at Jurong East Central, Project Bus Stop was officially opened in August 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aude.sg\/features_Project_Bus_Stop.html\">https:\/\/www.aude.sg\/features_Project_Bus_Stop.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Fred Lee, Senior Manager at Elmich Pte Ltd, said, \u201cThis is a very unique Corporate Social Responsibility project, initiated by DP Architects (DPA) examining ways to redesign a bus stop and re-imagine the way people interact with them, creating various fun and enjoyable experiences for the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cOne key element was the incorporation of a 3-metre mature Cratoxylon cochinchinensis tree within the bus stop as a greenery feature to express slices of distinctive environments, such as a garden.
