Bus Station: Kerb or Median?

Location of bus stations on bus lanes is a much-debated issue. Two options exist. In the first, bus stations may be located on the left hand side (LHS) of the lane with access to buses through conventional LHS doors. This design demands two station structures—one for each direction of travel. The second option is a single median bus station, with access to buses through doors specially provided on the right hand side. In this option, a single station structure serves traffic in both directions. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages.
