WHAT
Interactive panels at bus stops
WHY FAIR
→ Is there anything fairer than encouraging kids to take public transport?
→ The project also has another positive impact: in a district filled with gated communities, it has become a gathering place for residents from various housing estates.
→ Upcycling the existing infrastructure.
DESCRIPTION
To make public transport more appealing to both youngsters and everyone else, one approach is to add fun into the bus stop infrastructure. In the suburban district of Gdynia, we implemented this by installing two types of playful boards on the sidewalls of five bus stops. The project created quite a buzz in the media and was showcased, among others, as part of the Human Cities UE program during the 2016 Milan Design Week.
