The bus stop is the first point of contact between the passenger and the bus service. The spacing, location, design, and operation of bus stops significantly influence transit system performance and customer satisfaction. However, since most bus stops are located on municipal or state right-of-way, not PRT-owned properties, we must work closely with our partners at municipalities and PennDOT to ensure bus stops meet our guidelines.

PRT recognizes that every location is unique, and that a given stop’s jurisdictional and physical context may offer opportunities to meet PRT's guidelines in some ways but not in others. As a result, we strive to provide desirable facilities and amenities wherever possible. Though many stops do not currently meet our guidelines, we hope to work with public agencies and developers to incorporate transit needs into the design and operations of streets, highways, and land development.
