Bus Stop

As a student at Central Bedfordshire College I could see first hand what Bus Stops were busiest and most suitable. First I looked at a stop between the college and The Store but realised it is not used frequently and often only for coaches of school children using the leisure centre. I then looked at a bus stop outside the college where many students get off the bus including myself. This stop had a great view up the street which wouldn't restrict my augmented reality but was very quiet. As the college car park has now moved, less students seem to use this stop. I then looked at the bus stops opposite The Store outside Asda. This was noticeably the busiest bus stop. It has its own bus lane, two bus shelters, and electronic bus timetables. This stop has the best transport links and is used by many students as well as the public, especially Asda shoppers. I chose to design for the left bus stop outside Asda as it has a better view of the street. The location and popularity of this bus stop makes it the perfect place to have my augmented reality advert.

Busway Links to/from this stop. 
The Asda stop is located just below the Dunstable heading and is visited by three out of the 4 busway routes. It also used by many other Arriva, Centrebus and Grant Palmer buses such as the 24 and 31.









 Bus Stop between the college and The Store:
As you can see it is very quiet and there is barely a view down the street, just 20m of tarmac then the side of The Store building.


 Bus Stop outside the college opposite the old car park entrance: 
As you can see there is a good view down the street but it is empty.
