Add Value Vending Machine A self-serve electric ticketing fare machine consisting of a touch screen display,
(AVVM) card reader and cash payment options, used to purchase paper tickets or perform a
limited range of go card functions including displaying the card balance, transaction
history, or adding value to the go card.
Amenity Provision of a comfortable, interesting, high-quality environment, including:
• high quality (visually-appealing) finishes that are durable, self-cleaning, vandal
resistant and easy to maintain
• use of materials and finishing consistent with those in adjacent public transport
facilities
• interesting internal and external views from paths
• quality textured landscapes and architecture
• public art and community literacy elements where applicable.
Branding The TransLink logo, ellipse device and name style and where applicable, the
Queensland Coat of Arms.
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) A form of mass transit which utilises buses operating at a higher capacity and
frequency than conventional bus networks. BRT typically features a unique identity
with segregated right-of-way measures such as dedicated road corridors (referred to
as busways) or HOV lanes. BRT infrastructure such as stations and busway corridors
can be at surface grade, elevated or below ground level. BRT is often characterised
as offering the quality of metro rail systems with the flexibility of buses.
Bus feeder Local or neighbourhood bus services which operate within lower urban density
neighbourhood communities and provide transport connections for passengers
wanting to interchange with more frequent line-haul services along designated
high-frequency services routes or corridors.
Bus layover Waiting location for vehicles (commonly at stations) to adjust time between services,
enable driver change-over, or scheduled rest/meal break, or commence a new
service route.
Bus stop A collector point for pedestrians along a public transport route that allows for
boarding and alighting, that also includes a portion of the roadway for the stopping
of a bus. Refer Transport Operations (Road Rules) Regulation 2009 for further detail.
Bus station A high-quality passenger transport facility that acts as a central departure and/or
destination point to accommodate high passenger volumes.
Busway A route especially designed and constructed for, and dedicated to, the priority
movement of buses for public transport purposes. Busways can be either at-grade or
grade-separated (i.e. elevated over the surrounding development). Refer Transport
Infrastructure Act 1994 for further detail.
Crime Prevention Through An approach using multidisciplinary urban design principles to reduce the incidence
Environmental Design and perception of crime in the built environment.

4 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 1 – Background and application

Equivalent access A process, often involving the provision of direct assistance, under which an
operator or provider is permitted to vary the equipment or facilities that give
access to a public transport service, so long as an equivalent standard of amenity,
availability, comfort, convenience, dignity, price and safety is maintained. It does
not include a segregated or parallel service.
Facility Any form of infrastructure used for a particular purpose for public transport (i.e. a
whole station is considered to be a facility, and a bicycle cage or park ‘n’ ride is also
defined as a facility).
Fruin Level-of-Service (LOS) Based on the literature by J. Fruin (1987) Pedestrian Planning and Design. Fruin
defines the required level-of-service by outlining the quantified area needed for
pedestrians to comfortably walk, queue, wait or travel through pedestrians spaces
(such as station platforms, elevators, stairways, walkways and other public spaces).
Future-proofing The specific provision made for the possible expansion of infrastructure and services
due to potential or anticipated increase (or decrease) in future passenger demand.
Grade separation The infrastructure provision for public transport corridors to offer the highest level
of travel priority by operating exclusively (either vertically or horizontally) from other
transport modes, in order to minimise disruption (that is, busways, rail lines and
stations typically feature grade-separated treatments so that they are not in conflict
with private vehicle traffic).
Hail ‘n’ ride service A hail ‘n’ ride service is a service operated by a bus that follows set routes, but may
stop for passengers at any safe point on the route.
High Occupancy Vehicle A lane along a road corridor which is dedicated for use by high-occupancy vehicles
(HOV) Lane such as buses or private cars with more than one occupant.
Independent stop A type of bus stop which is designed for one or a particular set of pre-designated
services. Independent stops are characterised by individually laid out platforms with
designated stopping areas for buses. This is in contrast to a lead stop set-up which
features one stop along a platform which all buses pull up to if servicing the stop
or station.
Infrastructure In this manual the term infrastructure is defined as any item in the TransLink network
that has been designed, constructed, installed or any fixture or fitting required for
the appropriate function of a public transport system (that is, but not limited to –
seats, platforms, stairs, overpasses, shelters, signage, furniture, information and
display devices, security devices, enhancements, vehicle arrangement requirements,
pedestrian infrastructure, cycle infrastructure and parking infrastructure).
Intelligent Transport The general term for electronic infrastructure used at public transport stops and
Systems (ITS) stations to assist customers and operators with the operation and function of the
transport system. ITS can include but is not limited to, security cameras (CCTV), real-
time-information, public address systems, and other public transport information.
Kiss 'n' ride Vehicle drop-off or pick-up zone for passengers arriving from, or leaving for, a public
transport service (also includes taxis).

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 5
Chapter 1 – Background and application

Lead stop A bus stop which is designed to have a single platform boarding point for
passengers where bus vehicles platoon behind each other as opposed to
independent designated stops for different services. Lead stop situations are typical
for bus stops with a high-frequency of services passing through and are designed to
reduce dwell times.
Level-of-Service (LOS) The measure of effectiveness by which traffic engineers determine the quality of
service on elements of transport infrastructure. The level-of-service in this manual
predominately specifies the amount of space required for acceptable pedestrian
waiting areas (see Fruin Level-of-Service).
Livery The distinctive design and visual appearance of public transport vehicles. Livery has
been specifically designed by TransLink so that vehicles are instantly recognisable
as being part of the TransLink network.
Functional station design Fundamental design objectives which define how a station should function and
operate/perform (with emphasis on the spatial relationship between human to
human and human to built environment interaction) to satisfy the requirements of
the intended customer (i.e. the passenger) and the TransLink network.
Mode The particular type of vehicle used on a transport service such as train, bus, and
light rail (can also include the private car).
Modular infrastructure Infrastructure which has been designed and assembled into a prefabricated kit of
parts (for example shelters and seating) allowing for minimal construction, efficient
maintenance, ease of modification and potential expansion (thus minimising
level of disturbance to a site). Modular infrastructure also allows for uniformity in
infrastructure design which ensures high legibility for passengers using the public
transport system.
Park 'n' ride Commuter car parking area at public transport stops and stations for accessing
public transport services. Generally also accommodates kiss ‘n’ ride zones.
Public address system An electronic communication device (generally located at stations) used for
informing public transport patrons of public transport messages, warnings and
other information.
Public transport corridor Land on which any of the following public transport infrastructure is situated, if the
infrastructure is, or is to be, used for providing a public passenger service, including
buses or busway, light rail or rail transport infrastructure. Refer Sustainable Planning
Regulation 2009, Schedule 26 for further detail.
Public transport service A form of travel provided by high-occupancy vehicles (for example, bus, train or
ferry) along set paths of travel and at scheduled intervals during a day. A public
transport service can be operated by governments or private organisations and
provides equitable access to transport for the whole community as opposed to
private transport which only provides transport to the individual or passengers
given consent. Refer Transport Operations (Passenger Transport) No. 43, 1994 for
further detail.
qconnect A Queensland Government initiative providing improved public transport services
and greater connectivity between services throughout regional, rural and remote
Queensland. The qconnect brand signifies integration of transport modes and
operators across Queensland.

6 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 1 – Background and application

Rapid transit A form of public transport which involves very high passenger demand resulting
in high-quality infrastructure with very frequent services. A distinctive feature of
rapid transit is the travel priority given through grade-separated treatments (such as
busways or rail corridors).
Real-time The ability to monitor and communicate, using global positioning technology, up-
to-date information for expected performance of public transport services based on
their distance away from a specific location.
Signage The use of a consistent signage suite that has been developed to create seamless
identification of public transport infrastructure for a range of different modal
facilities, to improve overall network legibility and way-finding.
Stand Alone Card Interface An electronic device (usually placed at the entry/exit and key decision points of
Device (SACID) stations) used by passengers to validate a go card at the commencement and end of
their trip so that their trip fare can be calculated.
Station A high quality public transport facility which acts as a central departure and/
or destination point to accommodate high passenger volumes. Stations provide
passengers with the key point of connection between a public transport service
and a desired destination (or transfer point enroute to a destination). Refer to PTIM,
Station Planning and Design Manual for details.
Station formation A key step in the planning and design process as defined in the PTIM of taking a
generic station layout and configuring this to meet the specific function and
site requirements.
Supporting access The infrastructure which provides the key connection between a TransLink stop or
infrastructure station and the immediate surrounding environment. In this manual, this includes
pedestrian, bicycle, bus feeder, kiss ‘n’ ride and park ‘n’ ride infrastructure.
Tactile Ground Surface Raised ground surface texture treatments (usually paving) used by people with
Indicator (TGSI) vision impairments to navigate their way in the built environment. TGSIs assist users
by providing warning and directional information, and typically consist of square
tiles with raised profiles laid in logical locations.
Theming The specific design language created through the use of the TransLink infrastructure
colour palette and structural design features and finishes.
The Premises Standards The Disability (Access to Premises-Buildings) Standards 2010
The Transport Standards The Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (DSAPT)

Element Consideration in public transport infrastructure planning and design

Urban design Creating quality urban environments requires balancing of many interests.
Creating Places for People – An Urban Design Protocol for Australian Cities
outlines 12 common urban design principles. These should be considered in
planning and design of public transport infrastructure:
• works within the physical and social context
• fosters excellence, innovation and leadership
• engages with relevant stakeholders
• considers custodianship and maintenance over time
• enhances the local economy, environment and community
• connected, both physically and socially
• diversity of options and experiences
• sustainable, enduring and resilient
• comfortable and welcoming
• vibrant, with people around
• feels safe
• enjoyable and easy to walk and cycle around.

Chapter 1 – Background and application

Element Consideration in public transport infrastructure planning and design

Cross-agency planning Infrastructure to access public transport stops and stations is often the
responsibility of agencies other than TransLink, making cooperative cross-agency
planning essential. The following principles should be applied:
• define agency and stakeholder responsibilities at project inception.
• work with the local government and property owners to ensure public transport
infrastructure is integrated with existing or planned facilities.
• consider local community needs and design appropriately to the local context.

Crime Prevention through • Public transport infrastructure design needs to ensure passengers feel safe
Environmental Design (CPTED) using public transport at any time of the day and night.
• Apply creative urban design principles to reduce the incidence and perception
of crime
• Include the presence of passive surveillance mechanisms and creation of
defensible spaces to act as deterrents of crimes—for example, effective
lighting, enhanced visibility, legible and clearly defined spaces, effective
signage and way-finding, and promoting activity.

For details, refer to the current version of the government’s Crime Prevention
through Environmental Design Guidelines for Queensland.

Chapter 1 – Background and application

Element Consideration in public transport infrastructure planning and design

Branding, theming Public transport infrastructure should be easy for passengers to identify
and signage and understand. This will be achieved by:
• consistent look and feel of infrastructure to provide a recognisable appearance
that sits comfortably with the surrounding community
• consistent design language which is user-friendly, familiar and instils
confidence in existing and potential passengers
• modern, high-quality, open structures with a lightweight appearance
and an approved colour palette.

TransLink branding, theming and signage, including the TransLink colour palette,
must be applied to all new and upgraded public transport infrastructure. For
details of TransLink’s infrastructure colour palette refer to PTIM, Branding,
Theming and Signage chapter.

Disability access compliance All public transport infrastructure must comply with relevant standards and
guidelines for disability access (for example, Commonwealth Disability Standards
for Accessible Public Transport 2002). Designs should incorporate:
• most direct and convenient access from facility entry to boarding points
• buildings or shore lines to facilitate clear and direct access, providing an
effective means of way-finding, and minimising the need for other additional
aids, such as tactile ground surface indicators (TGSI)
• use of consistent layouts and design principles.

For specific projects the project team will engage with relevant disability
reference groups.

Environmental sustainability TransLink and relevant stakeholders involved in public transport infrastructure
projects have an obligation to comply with applicable state and commonwealth
environmental and energy-efficiency standards for all public transport
infrastructure. To support sustainability outcomes, public transport infrastructure
should be designed to:
• minimise impact on biodiversity and open space
• reduce waste consumption and promote re-use and recycling of resources
(for example, water use)
• use environmentally-friendly devices and components within facilities
• improve air quality and promote healthier travel options by providing
appropriate access and cycle facilities. Refer to PTIM, Supporting Access and
Infrastructure chapter.

Chapter 1 – Background and application

Element Consideration in public transport infrastructure planning and design

Human factor TransLink aims to incorporate human factors as a key planning design principle,
to ensure a comfortable and safe public transport environment for its customers.
This includes:
• Providing sensory queues in the environment appropriate to its primary use
and the interface with conflicting use zones (for example, between public
waiting or pathway areas and motor vehicle traffic lanes)
• Defining the behavioural risk profile for a facility or area, prioritising risk and
identifying mitigation strategies for behavioural risk. For example, if legibility
is a high-risk issue, mitigation can be through the scale and form of
information presentation (that is, audio, visual, tactile).

Environmental characteristics When planning, designing and constructing public transport infrastructure,
differing environmental characteristics and factors need to be considered
(for example wet tropical, sub-tropical, dry arid):
• design of infrastructure at any specific location must respond to specific
regional characteristics
• material selections and construction methods must consider the regional
environmental characteristics.

Engineering innovation The Department of Transport and Main Roads’ engineering innovation strategy,
which encompasses the design and construction of public transport facilities,
as follows:
1. identify innovation and opportunities as an essential part of the business
2. develop and maintain capacity to facilitate and manage innovation
3. provide resources for innovation testing and assessment
4. improve by evaluating innovation and implementing learnings.

2.1 Introduction
This section outlines the overarching design principles
that should be applied to public transport infrastructure.
It clearly sets out TransLink’s expectations for consistent
standards that must be applied to new and upgraded
public transport infrastructure.

The planning, design and implementation of public


transport infrastructure shall be guided by these design
principles, whilst ensuring the context of the site/
location is addressed to achieve the functional and
operational needs of customers and services, as well
as delivering accessible outcomes to the maximum
extent possible.

2.2.2 Access to public


transport infrastructure
Providing safe and easy access to the public transport
network is important to enhance the overall public
transport trip and encourage greater use of the public
transport network. TransLink supports access to public
transport in the following order of priority:
• walking
• cycling
• transferring from another public transport service
• kiss ‘n’ ride and taxis and park ‘n’ ride
(including motorcycles).

Access infrastructure provides the key connection


between the public transport facility and the immediate
surrounding environment.

TransLink will encourage as many people as possible


to walk and cycle to relieve pressure on parking facilities
(as well as help manage traffic congestion). This has
the added benefit of supporting whole-of-government
objectives for more sustainable transport and physically
active communities.

Public transport infrastructure should be planned


and designed to reflect TransLink’s access hierarchy.

Infrastructure Figure 3.1.

considerations are included in the planning and
design of new infrastructure.

Table 2.1:
Operational considerations for planning and designing
public transport infrastructure

Factors influencing
What to consider
planning and design

Land availability • Footprint – Public transport infrastructure should not consume more space
than needed for effective operations.
• Land constraints – Design needs to consider land constraints in determining
size, configuration and function of the infrastructure. Where land is available
(for example, greenfield sites) it should be preserved to provide short and
long-term demand.
• Consider on-street designs where the station forms part of the normal main
street setting in a city or town centre, particularly where this offers significant
operational benefits for customer and operator.

Surrounding land use and • Future land use – Consider future land use and demographics in determining
attractors capacity requirements and design.
• Attractors – Consider adjacent and nearby attractors in determining capacity.
Other capacity factors (such as network and service operations, events) should
also be considered.

Service frequency • Frequency – The peak and off-peak frequency of services needs to be considered.
• Demand – Patronage increases should be catered for (to the life of the facility as
determined in the early stages of planning). Forecast patronage increases will
require public transport facilities to be able to accommodate multiple services at
higher frequencies. For example bus stations will require an adequate number
of bus bays to minimise delay to services using the facilities. Rail stations
may require the possible upgrade of both station and track to accommodate
additional services.
• Access considerations – Cycle parking, kiss ‘n’ ride bays will need to consider
future demand requirements.

Public transport vehicle • Maintain public transport vehicle accessibility – Public transport infrastructure
access design should not constrain vehicle access from the surrounding access
routes as this affects not only the number of services able to access a site, but
also contributes to delays of other scheduled services. For example capacity
restrictions at road intersections providing access to and from a bus facility are
of great importance, as delays at intersections can greatly affect the operation of
the facility and the use of the network itself.

8 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 2 – Planning and design

Factors influencing
What to consider
planning and design

Fare collection • Fare collection considerations – The method of fare collection affects
operational capacity of public transport facilities. For example prepaid ticketing
procedures enable faster boarding, reduced dwell times and allow greater
person throughput.
• Pre-paid fare collection – Where pre-paid fare collection is applicable, this needs
to be included in the design. This could include pre-paid ticketing systems,
especially those with high level-of-service. The provision of ticketing systems
will be determined by facility layout, size, public comfort and level-of-service
requirements, and revenue protection strategies. The facility layout must
consider the appropriate location of the paid/unpaid threshold (position of fare
collection barriers-gates) as part of ensuring sufficient and safe circulation and
queuing of passengers particularly in peak operational periods.
• Contact TransLink for preferred fare payment options.

Mobility aids, wheelchairs, • Operational impacts – Mobility aids, wheelchairs, prams and bicycles increase
pram and bicycle boarding boarding times and can impact operational capacity of public transport
infrastructure. This needs to be considered in demand forecasting.
• Accessible design – Design must accommodate all public transport and comply
with the Disability Standards and Australian Standards.

Platform and access area • Design space – Typically, platform areas and access paths, during peak periods,
design should be at a LOS C. Further guidance is available in John J. Fruin’s Pedestrian
Planning and Design publication. Seating and waiting areas should be separated
so that they do not interfere with boarding and alighting, facility entrances and
exits, information points or other pedestrian circulation points.
• Given the typical LOS C requirements, platform widths and lengths will vary
depending on a range of design criteria including:
–– the type and size of facility layout (for example, bus and rail stations function
differently in terms of boarding and alighting of passengers. Rail stations will
typically allow for boarding and alighting from numerous locations along a
station platform, whereas buses will board from the front end of the platform
in a lead stop situation or from independent stops. This warrants separate
design considerations for queuing and waiting passengers)
–– the anticipated peak passenger demand (that is, boarding and alighting)
–– the type of public transport mode and stopping arrangement
–– the number and types of services expected to utilise the facility.
• Personal comfort – Platform and access areas should be designed to be within
the range of personal comfort during peak periods. The loading area must
accommodate passenger movements when waiting, queuing and accessing
services. Passengers boarding/alighting should not inhibit waiting passengers.

Supporting access • High-quality supporting access infrastructure – Planning and design should
infrastructure consider how passengers will access the infrastructure, and incorporate
appropriate access facilities and infrastructure. For detailed guidance please
refer to the PTIM, Supporting Access Infrastructure.

Chapter 2 – Planning and design

2.3.4 Asset management


While the PTIM is primarily concerned with the immediate
planning and design of infrastructure from concept design
to delivery, the ongoing maintenance and management of
individual components of infrastructure or an entire facility
is an important aspect of the planning and design process.

Collaborative working agreements between relevant


stakeholders involved in asset management should be
established at the planning stage, to promote a whole-
of-life approach to infrastructure management and to
contribute towards a functional, high quality, safe and
easy-to-use public transport network.

The following must be considered when planning


and designing public transport facilities:
• site ownership and management and
maintenance agreements
• the general requirements for durability, cleaning and
maintenance of infrastructure components
• surveillance and access control of the facility
• cost-effectiveness, commonality and replacement
of components
• approved suppliers of the materials and components
• access to water, electricity and other resources
• general operating costs (such as electricity,
water and staff)
• statutory requirements for buildings and facilities
• requirements for staff.

The above is not a definitive list and other considerations


may be required depending on site-specific circumstances.

Relevant operational stakeholders should be engaged


in the planning and design process to ensure that the
requirements of asset management by operators and
/or owners have been considered. All components of
station infrastructure to be maintained by TransLink
should use materials and finishings consistent and
compatible with existing infrastructure and of a standard
approved by TransLink. In consultation with relevant
operating and maintenance stakeholders, through
TransLink, detailed maintenance manuals should be
developed for all components and operation schedules
within a station facility.

Private spaces can include:


• retail and commercial areas
• maintenance and management facility areas
• communications and electrical cupboards.

2.4.2.1 Sequence of movement


The layout of a transport facility should consider the sequence of
passenger movement. Passenger movement is in response to the
progressive sequence of actions and decision points along the
path of travel. Movement should be in a forward direction from
the entry to the platform, as illustrated in Figure 2.1.

• Minimise turns in the path of travel and avoid turns greater than 180 degrees.
• Changes of level should be through continuous straight flights of stairs
or ramps and, if appropriate, escalators or lifts. Further:
–– if turning is required, landings are to be provided with necessary room
for appropriate separation and manoeuvring, and
–– stairs circulating at 90-degree turns must adopt suitable measures
to provide good sightlines for ascending and descending.
See Figure 2.2.

Cross-path circulation • Provide simple and clearly defined paths of travel that avoid conflict and maximise
station capacity.
• Paths of travel should be clearly established to meet the requirements
of passengers on the dominant side of the pathway, away from the opposite
flow path.
• Avoid circulation systems that have people crossing the paths of others to access
information, ticketing, amenities, platforms, ranks, seating, rubbish disposal and
other requirements.
See Figure 2.3.

Left-hand circulation • Dominant movement pattern of pedestrians is based on the majority of travel
undertaken on the left-hand side.
• Circulation within the facility (including around components and amenities)
should follow this convention for predictability and efficiency.

Vertical circulation • Vertical circulation components such as stairs, ramps, lifts and escalators should
be assembled together centrally.
• Centralised location of components assists with convenient placement
of public information.
• All access components must comply with the relevant disability standards.

Chapter 2 – Planning and design

Type of circulation Principles

Changing direction • Changes in direction within circulation should only occur where there
is sufficient space to allow passengers to maintain a sense of direction
(use of transparent materials to enable views is preferable).
• Appropriate space should be provided at information and decision points for
people to avoid conflict with the flow path of travel to ensure comfortable and
efficient movement.

Emergency evacuation • Emergency evacuation considerations, including appropriate circulation paths,


circulation 1 exits and assembly points, should cater for the maximum volume of people using
the facility at any one time.
• Effective signage and way-finding is a key consideration for public circulation in
an emergency situation. This must be reviewed in the detailed design stage and
receive approval by an emergency evacuation specialist.
• Facilities which are structurally at-grade, elevated or below grade present
different emergency and safety requirements that warrant project specific
design investigation.

2.4.2.3 Density of occupation The density of passengers to be accommodated should be within


the range of personal comfort, and passengers should experience
modest restrictions without coming into undesirable contact with
any person. The public Level of Service (LOS) classification ranges
from LOS A to F (Fruin, 1978, Pedestrian Planning and Design).
Level A is the least crowded environment and Level F is the most
crowded environment (and hence most undesirable). TransLink
requires that an appropriate LOS be achieved for pedestrian areas
to ensure comfortable pedestrian densities are not compromised
during peak periods.

The areas of pedestrian occupation which typically require


a LOS design response include:
• waiting and queuing areas including ticketing and information
points such as information displays, fare machines, fare gates,
and ticket validation equipment (SACIDS)
• seating
• walkways or other areas of circulation
• stairways
• overpasses
• lifts
• ramps
• escalators and travelators.

Note that the suitable LOS for different passenger areas of a station
will warrant a different level of area allocation per pedestrian (for
example the physical area of LOS C for stairways will be different
from the LOS C for waiting areas). In addition to appropriate
space allocation, all pedestrian areas of a station will comply with
applicable disability standards.

For pedestrian horizontal travel (that is, walkways and overpasses)


and platform waiting areas, TransLink typically prefers that a LOS C
(between 0.65–0.9 square metres per person of personal space) be
achieved as a minimum during peak periods. See Figure 2.4.

However, this preference may be subject to change depending


on station and service functional arrangements.

greater public use. For details on CPTED principles, refer to the
current version of the Queensland Government’s Crime Prevention
through Environmental Design Guidelines for Queensland.

2.4.5 Climatic comfort In developing the design of facilities the following
and weather protection should be considered:
• structures must provide sufficient physical width, length
and height to achieve high-quality climatic comfort and weather
protection for passengers to occupy this space
• passengers should be provided with appropriate protection
with enclosed or covered station access points, public
information and decision points, seating and waiting areas, and
boarding and alighting areas
• consideration must be given to the management
of sun, wind, rain, heat, glare and humidity.

An appropriate climate analysis should be included within the

appropriate facility orientation and suitability for specific locations.

Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

3.1 Introduction
This section of the PTIM provides guidelines for
delivering high quality, effective and efficient access
infrastructure for public transport stops and stations
within the TransLink network.

The first section discusses general principles for the


planning and design of Supporting access infrastructure.
Other sections provide guidelines specific to each key
access mode:
• Walking – pedestrian access inside and outside
of the immediate stop or station vicinity
• Cycling – on and off-road cycle infrastructure within
the immediate stop or station vicinity
• Bus feeder – bus feeder access to service associated
infrastructure
• Kiss ‘n’ ride – passenger set-down and pick-up
infrastructure, and taxi access
• Taxi infrastructure
• Park ‘n’ ride – parking infrastructure for public
transport commuters.

Delivery of infrastructure to access the public transport


network will, in many cases, not be the responsibility of
TransLink. For example, the provision of footpaths for
walk-up access and cycle paths for cycle access is often
the responsibility of local government.

Cooperative multi-agency planning is needed to create


logical, coherent outcomes for communities and public
transport passengers.

Where new public transport infrastructure is planned,


consultation should take place with local government
and property owners early in the planning phase
to ensure integration with existing or planned
community facilities.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 3
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

In order to use public transport, passengers need access to it.


3.1.1 Why is supporting Supporting access infrastructure provides the key connection
between the stop/station and the immediate surrounding
access infrastructure environment. High quality access infrastructure, that is attractive
to public transport users, is essential to the usability of any stop
important? or station and the success of the TransLink network as a whole.

To ensure a quality journey for passengers, its design should be


user-friendly and easily interfaced with the various access modes
passengers may use (for example walking, cycling, driving). Access
infrastructure should also be designed to minimise impacts on
local communities while maximising community benefits.

TransLink’s access hierarchy provides the framework for how


3.1.2 TransLink policy various TransLink network access modes should be prioritised
when planning or designing services or infrastructure. The access
and access hierarchy hierarchy is shown in Figure 3.1.

From an environmental and network operation viewpoint, walk-


up and cycle access are the preferred modes for accessing the
TransLink network, as illustrated in Figure 3.1. These access modes
are followed in preference by bus feeder and kiss ‘n’ ride, with
park ‘n’ ride generally being the least desirable mode. Supporting
higher use of walk-up and cycle access minimises the need for
excessive land requirements for parking at public transport stops
and stations and reduces the amount of private vehicles on roads.

Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

3.2.1.1 Network integration The stop or station design intent is a critical factor in planning
and configuring effective access infrastructure within the
surrounding environment. Design intent can be requested from
the infrastructure designer, and further guidance can be obtained
from the overarching network hierarchy in the PTIM and the facility
category as identified in the modal specific chapters.

Each access mode will require the application of site-specific


integration techniques, however general principles for
consideration are listed in Table 3.1.

• M

access, air quality).

3.2.1.2 Cross-agency It is essential to coordinate the integration of public transport


infrastructure with surrounding access infrastructure. In many
planning cases there will be a need or opportunity for shared multi-agency
planning, provision and/or management to deal with overlaps in
responsibility and land ownership. Cooperative planning should
focus on acknowledging the individual needs and objectives in
order to create logical, coherent outcomes for community and
public transport passenger access.

When planning access infrastructure, consultation with the local


government and property owners should be undertaken to ensure
that any new facilities are integrated with and complement existing
or planned community facilities, and vice versa.

Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

3.2.1.3 Surrounding land uses


Surrounding land uses – both existing and future - will
influence the function of a public transport facility and
thus the type, scale and extent of Supporting access
infrastructure required. Planning should consider:
• current wider land use context
• current surrounding uses
• current statutory designation
• strategic land use planning at local and state level
• town planning development applications, approvals
and proposals on adjacent properties
• proposed or planned development opportunities on
the public transport property itself
• opportunities to make use of other existing or
new shared facilities in the surrounding area
such as parking, access paths, cycle storage and
end-of-trip amenities
• opportunities for transport oriented development.

Considerations for a variety of land uses are expanded


upon in Table 3.2.

8 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

Table 3.2:
Considerations for surrounding land uses

Land use context Consideration

Major activity or shopping centre • Minimise conflict between both the functions of the public
transport facility and the activity centre, while capturing
benefits of convenient and direct access to the centre by
public transport for example:
–– encourage intra-modal and multi-modal interchange
facilities where services intersect, while managing
potential conflict between traffic movements
–– encourage public transport feeder interchange nodes
while managing conflict between interchanging and
destination movements
–– minimise conflict between pedestrian, cycle,
kiss ‘n’ ride and local traffic movements.
• Protect centre economic development through collaborative
strategies to prevent public transport passengers using centre
parking as a commuter parking facility.
• Protect appropriate and convenient space for cycle amenities
and kiss ‘n’ ride.

Consolidated, highly-urbanised environment • Interesting, convenient and direct pedestrian connections will
(such as inner suburban developments) be essential to capture maximum public transport patronage
from the higher density walk-up catchment.
• Access to the TransLink network by cycling may be of less
importance where a stop or station is close to the dominant
regional activity centre – however cycle movement in the
broader surrounding area is an important consideration.
• Kiss ‘n’ ride may be difficult to accommodate where there is
likely to be competition for available space and infrastructure.
• Park ‘n’ ride is not suitable in key centres due to high land
values and long-term economic development goals for
key centres.

Land use context Consideration

Low-density, suburban developments and • Direct, interesting and convenient pedestrian links will be
local activity centre environments important to capture maximum patronage from the moderate-
density walk-up catchment.
• Cycle connections and parking will be highly desirable.
• Intra-modal and multi-modal interchange facilities will be
encouraged where service routes intersect.
• Bus feeder facilities will be encouraged at selected sub-
regional and district level activity centres.
• Provision for kiss ‘n’ ride will likely be important for
encouraging multi-purpose household trips.
• Small park ‘n’ ride facilities may be appropriate, preferably
away from main local activity centres or integrated with a
suitable land use allowing parking capacity during business
hours (such as a sporting facility).

Urban fringe or edge environments (such as • Demand for pedestrian access may be constrained by lower-
end of public transport corridors) density catchments, poor pedestrian access with a lack of
infrastructure and low-density development.
• Cycle amenities will be required but safety and security
through natural surveillance may be limited, requiring
additional management and operation.
• Good access from arterial and distributor roads will be
important for kiss ‘n’ ride.
• Dedicated park ‘n’ ride facilities may be acceptable if away
from designated activity centres but adjacent to good road
access. These should be planned to accommodate staged
(re-)development consistent with strategic land use planning.
• Bus feeder services are required where there are
high-frequency services with available carrying capacity.

Specific high-volume facilities • Schools or major sporting facilities may need to cater for large
volumes of people on a regular or irregular basis.
• Public transport centres, long-haul bus stops or tourist
destinations may need capacity for interchanging between
coaches, mini-buses and taxis, and require a high level of
signage and locality information.

Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

3.2.1.4 Demand analysis


It is important when planning and designing
infrastructure to identify the likely level of demand
for the site. This can be undertaken using a range
of analytical tools and methods. Consult, regarding
appropriate demand identification methodologies and
data validity.

Demand forecasts should consider both existing


and future planned land uses as this will affect the
transport behaviour of public transport users and,
therefore, influence the scale and scope of access
infrastructure required.

For example, future commercial and residential


development around a currently low-density or green-
field public transport location may result in increased
local pedestrian and cycle activity, and increased
numbers of public transport users. While the demand
is not current, there may be a need for more extensive
access infrastructure in the future.

As with any forecasting, there are external factors


– such as fuel and energy prices, climate change, and
local issues (for example, employment locations and
policy changes) – that may have major impacts on the
demand for public transport. This uncertainty and the
long timeframes involved in these demand forecasts
means it may be prudent to protect additional space for
future expansion rather than provide additional capacity
up front.

Some transport models can provide information


regarding demand for different access modes – however
their inputs and assumptions should always be carefully
understood and critiqued.

Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

3.2.1.5 Operating It is not only important to consider the operating environment


for access infrastructure, but also integration with the operating
environment environment of other public transport infrastructure. Providing
certain amenities within supporting access infrastructure may help
facilitate the role of the individual components, and may provide
support to other facilities in the area.

Refer to the drawing in Appendix 3-A that illustrates the overarching


design principles when using supporting access infrastructure.

Key operating environment considerations are outlined in Table 3.3.

Table 3.3:
Key operating environment considerations

Key consideration Requirement description

Safety • The performance of the supporting access infrastructure and


its adjacent urban development against CPTED principles:
–– maximise passive and active surveillance activity
– visual transparency and comprehensive coverage
–– appropriate lighting – bright white lighting for waiting
spaces and paths
–– minimise hiding or concealed spaces and
entrapment opportunities.
• Suitable reporting, evidence gathering, response, repair and
/or replacement procedures in the event of criminal activity
against people or property.
• Active and remote surveillance arrangements for the access
infrastructure and its adjacent precincts:
–– clarify patrol and incident response procedures
–– electronic surveillance coverage
–– access to emergency-assist call points and
public telephones.
• Traffic arrangements – posted vehicle speeds
(including motorised and cycle), geometry, sightlines
and crossing arrangements.
• Physical hazards – trip, catch, bump and fall hazards along
with sharp and jagged edges.

12 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

Key consideration Requirement description

Amenity • Provision of a comfortable, interesting, high-quality


environment, including:
–– s­ helter and weather protection (including sun and rain)
for access and waiting areas
–– seating, rubbish bins and information
–– high quality (visually-appealing) finishes that are
durable, vandal resistant and easy to maintain
–– use of materials and finishings consistent with those
in adjacent public transport facilities
–– interesting internal and external views from paths
and waiting areas
–– quality textured landscapes and architecture
–– public art and community literacy elements
where applicable.

Efficient movement • Promote fully-accessible entrances and


pedestrian movements.
• Minimise walk distance between modes.
• Design direct links that discourage shortcuts across gardens,
kerbs, islands etc.
• Avoid conflict between cars and cycles.
• Differentiate vehicle path by destination – that is, separate
cycles, kiss ‘n’ ride and park ‘n’ ride movements as early
as possible before reaching facility entrance.

Design and delivery of public transport infrastructure will focus


on sustainability through:
• facility design that is fit for purpose now and into the future,
and adaptable to change
• contributing to attractive community spaces and a local
sense of place
• commitment to a low environmental footprint and
whole-of-life approach through all design, construction
and maintenance activities
• increasing visibility of sustainable features, and undertaking
a participatory approach to design to improve community
awareness and support.

Details of TransLink sustainability requirements are included


in Table 3.4.

Key environmental sustainability design considerations

Key sustainability consideration Requirement where possible

Water management • On-site rainwater collection and reuse.


• On-site run-off treatment (that is scrubbing using permeable
surfaces, detention basins and swales).
• Local flooding mitigation and flow maintenance.

Resource minimisation • Water – employ water-saving devices.


• Energy – aim for energy-neutral infrastructure by minimising
energy use and exploring generation opportunities
(for example, solar for feeding back into electrical supply).
• Materials – apply whole-of-life design approach
(that is, construction, operation, maintenance, cleaning,
and decommissioning). Materials should favour renewables
and recyclables.
• Processes – avoid operational processes that generate waste,
especially toxins and pollutants.

Habitat and physical environment • Protect habitat (that is space, physical elements such as tree
hollows and burrows, movement paths).
• Maintain water flows to aquatic and other habitats.
• Avoid acid sulphate soils.
• Minimise fugitive emissions of air, surface and
groundwater-borne pollutants.

Social sustainability • Present minimal harm to employees or public.


• Promote social justice, inclusion and equity.
• Contribute to improving social capacity and
community interaction.
• Enhance community experience and integrate facilities with
the surrounding environment to enhance economic viability
and social benefits.

Appropriate signage and way-finding is essential for orientation


3.2.3 Supporting and the communication of information to passengers. The
complexity of signage will vary with the scale and function of the
components stop or station and Supporting Access Infrastructure.

TransLink has guidelines for the development of signs provided


at, or referring to, TransLink facilities, and for the use of visual
elements such as logos, icons and colours. For further information
refer to TransLink’s PTIM, Branding, Theming and Signage and
Bus Network Infrastructure Signage Chapter. These PTIM chapters
do not identify specific enforceable regulatory signage such as
‘no standing’ or ‘taxi’ zones. These sign requirements should be
applied as per general road signage.

The types of signage relevant to Supporting access infrastructure


are outlined in Table 3.5.

Table 3.5:
Relevant signage for access infrastructure

Signage type Guideline description

Identification • Major facility identification signs should be visually distinctive


and stand out in the surrounding environment.
• Placement should be on major street frontages and entries.
• They should clearly display the facility name, modes available
from the facility and approved consistent logos.

Maps • Maps are generally provided within the station information


area and on bus stop markers – however, additional
maps may be needed at other locations if visibility to local
landmarks is constrained, the terrain is complex, or the site
is exceptionally large. These should be located at landmarks
that are easily identifiable and marked as information points.

Directional signage • Directional signage should be subtle but readily visible for
those looking for it – avoid cluttering views and over-signing.
• Complex or visually constrained environments will
warrant more directional signage than simple
easily-navigated environments.
• Directional signage should be placed with other signage
or on built elements such as lighting poles, fences or other
structures where opportunity allows.

16 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

Signage type Guideline description

Regulatory, warning and prohibition signage • Regulatory or warning signage should be suitable and visually
discernible so as to catch attention without dominating or
detracting from the aesthetics of the stop or station.
• Standard TransLink warning and prohibition signs should
be consistent in format and style with the PTIM, Branding,
Theming and Signage and Bus Network Infrastructure
Signage Chapter.
• Regulatory signage may need to meet certain legal
requirements to be enforceable. Refer to the appropriate
guidelines and standards for placement and development
of general road signs.
• Regulatory or warning signage should, wherever possible, be
placed on their own, away from other signs and not be placed
on built elements such as lighting poles, structures and
fences, unless acceptable under the applicable guidelines
and standards.

Information signs • Information signage will rarely be placed outside of the


immediate stop or station area. Where this occurs within a
TransLink supporting facility it will likely be in relation to the
use of that specific facility or advance timetabling information
(such as real-time). These will all be developed as per PTIM,
Branding, Theming and Signage Chapter and placed according
to precedent and need, while adhering to the design
imperatives for the operating environment.

Way-finding • Way-finding is considered more than signage and includes:


–– non-text or map-based indicators such as arrows,
colours and shapes
–– subtle indicators such as lighting, paving patterns
and contrast, paths, shore lines, vistas, structures
and themes in the built environment.

considerations
Table 3.6:
Design considerations for pedestrian access infrastructure

Considerations Guideline description

Access paths • Applicable disability and Australian Standards must be


complied with for:
–– doorways and gateways
–– stairs, lifts, ramps and landings
–– pavement surfaces and use of TGSI (subject to audit).
• If changes of grade are required to get to a stop or station,
allow appropriate rest areas at regular intervals on walkways
and ramps for mobility-impaired and aged persons.
• Where severe grade changes or disproportionate ramp lengths
are required, assisted vertical movement (for example, lifts
and escalators) should be provided, as appropriate, as per
applicable Australian Standards.
• Crossover (kerb) ramps should minimise changes of
direction except where geometry (depth, width or
sightlines) is constrained.
• Choose path materials that feature ease of cleaning and slip
resistance in all weather conditions.
• Design paths to avoid pooling or collection of detritus or other
unwanted debris.
• At-grade pedestrian paths should generally be designed to
withstand occasional use by heavy vehicles. Paths where
this is not reasonable should be clearly signed or made
inaccessible to such vehicles.

Minimum path dimensions • TransLink prefers a minimum path width of 1.8 metres.
• Increase path width to accommodate handrails and barriers.
• The minimum clearance from all infrastructure for a single
wheelchair access is 1.2 metres.
• Refer to applicable Disability and Australian Standards
for required width for single direction and/or bi-directional
path for allowing two wheelchairs to pass each other, and
a 180-degree turn.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 21
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

Considerations Guideline description

Handrails and barriers • Add handrails and barriers near dangerous edges including
roadways, cycle paths, carriageway escarpments, batter
slopes and walls, steep gradients and steps and through
underpasses or tunnels.
• Conform to the design requirements of applicable Disability
and Australian Standards.

Lighting • Lighting levels are required to meet current regulation


standards for public transport facilities, and be consistent
with applicable Disability and Australian Standards.
For details regarding lighting requirements refer to the
appropriate requirements within AS/NZ 1158.3.1 2005 –
Lighting for roads and public spaces and the DSAPT.
• Lighting quality (colour and lux) at waiting points will be
consistent with platform lighting and should be bright
white light.
• Lighting along paths will be bright white light with a
luminance as per applicable Australian Standards.
• Reflective light spill guards may be used to minimise fugitive
light in urban environments and concentrate it downwards to
where it is required.
• Luminance contrasts will be consistent with station areas
including paths and must comply with a minimum contrast
with background, as per applicable Disability Standards.

Hazards • Objects must not protrude into any path of pedestrian travel
within the envelope of travel.
• Allow a minimum clearance of 1.2 metres (desirable
1.5 metres) from all infrastructure for single wheelchair access
and manoeuvring (for example around poles, street furniture
and raised service pits).
• Remove or redesign the placement of sharp or pointed objects.
• Avoid placing grates, grids, grills, service pits or other
interruptions to a pavement surface within a pedestrian
pathway or paved area.
• Where pits must be placed in the path of travel:
–– they must be flush with the path surface as per
Disability Standards
–– covers must meet the same anti-slip and load-bearing
performance requirements as the path pavement.

22 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

Considerations Guideline description

Surveillance • Consider the use of camera surveillance coverage for paths


through all access infrastructure.
• Design access paths to be highly visible at all times to
promote passive surveillance.
• Underpasses should be avoided. However, if absolutely
necessary, an appropriate design solution with necessary
surveillance treatments may be accepted with TransLink and
key stakeholder consultation.

Landscape treatment • Choose plants that are:


–– unlikely to intrude upon a path at ground level or
interfere with path integrity or above and below ground
services and utilities
–– unlikely to regularly shed material that may make
a path slippery
–– unlikely to significantly block views between 0.5 and
2.5 metres above ground level
–– drought resistant
–– consistent with local flora (use local genetic populations
in natural areas of significant ecological value).
• Avoid plants that are:
–– toxic, highly allergenic or noxious weeds
–– known to produce thorns, barbs, stings or
noxious secretions
–– known to attract dangerous fauna.

Other • Applicable Disability and Australian Standards must be


complied with for:
–– seating along pedestrian access routes
–– signage and information, including the use of braille
and accessibility symbols.

• Consider need for shelter at pedestrian dwelling points such
as decision points or points of interest or activity.
• Consider relationship between accessible parking bays and
paths with shelter.

Refer to PTIM, Bus Stop and Bus Station Infrastructure chapters


for shelter design guidance.

Seating • Non-discretionary seating (for example, seating required


to meet applicable guidelines and standards such as at
accessibility rest points).
• Discretionary seating (for example, seating provided at the
discretion of the designers – for example, additional seating
at points of interest, viewing points or entry plazas depending
on potential use and demand).
• Seating should feature modern and pleasant design and
complement TransLink architecture.
• Seating should include backrests and armrests, and should
be constructed from durable, easily maintained materials that
allow drainage from liquids.
• Seating must comply with applicable Disability and
Australian Standards.

Rubbish bins and drinking fountains • Consider provision at pedestrian dwell points on access paths
that are remote from stop or station areas, or access facilities
where these may already be provided.
• Consider separate recycling bins.

Public art or community literacy installations • Consider the potential for inclusion of such elements along
pedestrian spaces where they may enliven a journey or
enhance a site.

Vending machines and other retail activities • Consider provision at pedestrian dwell points or on paths that
or outlets are remote from stop or station areas, or where these may
already have been provided.
• Consider for areas with good passive surveillance or active
security to minimise likelihood of vandalism and abuse.
• Clearly establish installation, maintenance and asset

Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

All stations, and some high passenger volume stops where major
3.4.3 Design cycle paths are intersected, will require end-of-trip amenities
ranging from cycle rails and racks to lockers, enclosures and
considerations possibly showering and associated amenities.

Key principles for design of cycle access infrastructure include:


• identifying the main directions of flow for cycle activity into and
out of the stop or station facility area
• ensuring that access paths connect, provide appropriate
capacity and are easily recognisable
• ensuring that adequate advance information is provided for
decision (entry and turning) points
• providing direct and convenient connections that do not require
cyclists to dismount until reaching the amenity
• minimising inter-modal conflict (in particular, cycle access
should not inhibit or conflict with pedestrian movements)
• need for bus layover depending on service pattern
and operation.

Refer also to the PTIM, Bus Stop and Bus Station


Infrastructure chapters.

Specialist cycle design advice should be sought when designing


cycle amenities. Advice on standards and current best practice
can be sought through TransLink, other relevant government
stakeholders and the Department of Transport and Main Roads’
Technical Information for Cycling.

Table 3.8 outlines some of the key design considerations


and requirements for cycle access.

32 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

Table 3.8:
Design considerations for cycle access infrastructure

Consideration Guideline description

Access paths • Changes in grade should be seamless and avoid


excessive gradients.
• Surface materials and finish should consider tyre traction in
dry and wet weather.
• Paths must be designed to avoid pooling of surface water and
promote quick drainage during heavy rain events.
• Appropriate handrails should be provided at preferred cycle
crossing or other stopping points.
• Crossover kerb ramps should be seamless.
• Sightlines should not be obscured on approach to corners
and intersections with other modes.
• Entry and exit paths should be clearly visible utilising passive
surveillance and security cameras (where applicable).
• Vegetation should be planned and maintained to avoid
the intrusion of plant matter into the envelope of movement
for cyclists.
• Avoid creating any unnecessary obstructions such as grates,
grids, grills or pit covers.
• Place utility service maintenance infrastructure, such as pits,
in locations where access to them does not interrupt the flow
of cycle activity.

Envelope of travel • The minimum clearance for the envelope of cycle travel
provided for a cyclist is 1 metre wide x 2.5 metres high and
1.75 metres long.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 33
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

Consideration Guideline description

Minimising inter-modal conflict • Wherever reasonable, dedicated on and/or off-road paths for
cyclists are preferred.
• Include measures to slow cyclists when approaching potential
points of conflict – for example intersections, blind curves.
• Provide sufficient width – refer TMR Technical Note 133
Guidance on the widths of shared paths and separated
bicycle paths.
• Clearly sign where paths are to be specifically shared
or exclusive.
• Clearly identify any behavioural requirements that differ from
the natural preferences (for example, if cyclists are required
to dismount).
• Clearly identify crossing arrangements (for example, if cyclists
must cross with pedestrians or separately).
• Cycle parking (whether in use or not) should not endanger
pedestrians – particularly those who are partially sighted or
blind – or obstruct the flow of pedestrian movements.
• Cycle parking should not obstruct structures such as seating,
traffic signals, street lighting, bollards and so on., or obstruct
car doors from opening (where parking is allowed).
• Cycle paths should avoid interaction with kiss ‘n’ ride bays:
–– where this is unavoidable, sufficient width should be
provided for cyclists to pass on the right of any vehicle
using such a facility
–– cyclists should be discouraged from passing on the left
of a kiss ‘n’ ride bay, whether on or off-road.

34 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

Consideration Guideline description

End-of-trip amenities • The minimum provision of cycle storage is a single rack (1.7
metres x 0.6 metres). All new facilities should protect suitable
vacant space for this provision.
• Design cycle storage facilities based on location demand. This
may include more individual bike rails, whether covered or
not, than fully secure bike storage, or vice-versa.
• Design of amenities requiring structures should be made of
transparent materials to allow natural ventilation and passive
surveillance, yet not detract from the public environment or
TransLink’s architectural theme.
• Design of cycle parking should support any type of cycle
without causing damage – both when the cycle is parked and
if knocked accidentally.
• Design of cycle parking should allow for both the front
wheel and frame (and possibly the back wheel) of the cycle
to be secured.
• Minimise the need for cyclists to cross the paths of other
modes when accessing end-of-trip amenities, particularly
when moving to and from the platform waiting area.
• Minimise the distance between the end-of-trip amenities and
public transport boarding point.
• Wherever possible, cyclists should be able to cycle to an
end-of-trip amenity without dismounting.
• Cycle parking should be spaced appropriately so that cyclists
are not obstructed when locking their cycle.
• Amenities should provide weather protection:
–– cycles and gear stored within lockers or an enclosure
should not be affected by rain water
–– floors must drain away from the storage area with
no pooling of water within enclosure or lockers.

Lighting • Lighting must meet applicable lighting standards and be


consistent with any adjacent lighting provided for pedestrians
or motorised vehicles. Refer to the appropriate requirements
within AS/NZ 1158.3.1 2005 – Lighting for roads and
public spaces.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 35
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

Consideration Guideline description

Hazards • Physically avoid proximity to, or creation of, hazards.


In particular, consider:
–– kerb design, quality and proximity to routes
–– kerb drain placement and design
–– type of landscaping placement and impact on pavements
and kinetic envelope for cyclists
–– railing and barrier design
–– proximity of unforgiving structures to kinetic envelope
– building corners, poles and sign edges etc.
–– pavement design and quality – slip resistance,
ridges /gaps and consistency
–– placement and design of TGSI – reduced tyre
traction, interaction between cyclists and people
with vision impairment
–– placement and quality of coverings for service pits.
• If a stop or station is likely to be used regularly by people
with mobility impairment, children, or inebriated people,
implement measures that encourage cyclists to dismount in
shared areas, and encourage pedestrians to exercise caution.

36 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

Consideration Guideline description

Surveillance • Amenities and connecting paths should be specifically


covered by security camera infrastructure with the ability
to survey movements between platforms, cycle storage
and external entry/exit points.
• Design of infrastructure and structures should be made of
transparent materials to allow natural passive surveillance.

Other • Require cyclists to dismount in any area where:


–– boarding or alighting occurs (for example at platforms)
–– pedestrian movement is either constrained or is
clearly the dominant mode (for example through over/
underpasses, ramps to platforms).
• Provide for dismounted cyclists to move cycles to and from
boarding and alighting points.
• Discourage through cycle movements (non public transport-
related) within the immediate stop or station area.
• Consider off-site provision and active demand management
of cycle facilities if space is limited.

Table 3.9:
Amenity utilities for cycling infrastructure

Amenity utility Consideration requirement/notes

Shelter from rain, sun and wind • Consider need for shelter at cyclist dwelling points such
as end-of-trip amenities.
• Consider extent of shelter provided based on likely use
patterns. for example, extension of shelter above enclosure
entry points where a cyclist may need to dismount and open
a bag to access a key or access card.
• Consider the use of lighting within cycle enclosures
for access during the evening period.

Seating • At higher demand for end-of-trip amenities for cyclists,


provide seating for cyclists to change their shoes.

Rubbish bins and drinking fountains • Consider provision at end-of-trip amenities.

Gear storage • Consider provision for gear storage at high-demand cycle


amenities where cycle lockers are not in exclusive use.

Shower amenities • Consider for inclusion where high volumes of cyclists will use
as an end-of-trip activity or prior to catching a public transport
service that operates at high frequencies.
• Consider the inclusion where agreement can be sought
between TransLink and relevant key stakeholders with regard
to provision, management and ongoing maintenance.

Vending machine • Consider provision at higher demand for


end-of-trip amenities.

Non public transport-based information points • Consider opportunities for these at end-of-trip amenities
– static, dynamic and interactive to allow for dissemination of cycle-related information
by government and relevant cycle reference groups.
• Clearly establish installation, management, maintenance
and usage conditions and arrangements before inclusion.

Advertising • Consider provision at end-of-trip amenities where amenity


and CPTED principles are not compromised and where
adequate exposure is available to meet market expectation.
This may be restricted to cycle-based services.

Emergency call points • Consider the provision of emergency call points at (within
and/or next to) end-of-trip amenities in case of security
malfunction or other incidents.
• Ensure electrical and communication conduits/connections
are provided, or allowed for in future if not
immediately supplied.

3.5 Bus feeder infrastructure


Interchanging can occur anywhere where two or more service
3.5.1 Network routes intersect. However, its attractiveness will be determined
by how conducive the TransLink network and the physical
considerations infrastructure are towards creating a convenient journey.

Increased provision of interchange opportunities, specifically when


combined with higher-frequency services, can provide passengers
with access to more destinations across the TransLink network.

Network planning can contribute to promoting interchanging by:


• wherever possible, providing the most direct interchange
opportunities within a single stop or station facility – preferably
by simply accessing adjacent platforms or even without the
need to change platforms
• coordinating the timetables for key services to minimise
inter-journey wait times, while allowing for sufficient time
for passengers to interchange between services
• providing the highest reasonable frequency for cross-town
and feeder services.

Generally, interchange facilities will be provided at transport


network interchange nodes that are located at the convergence
of many service routes with a high frequency service and/or
activity centre.

Strategic transport models will provide estimations of the level


3.5.2 Demand analysis of expected interchanging at specific sites. These estimates
should be reviewed in context with TransLink planning and
network strategy.

40 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

Where there is likely to be a high demand for interchanging, stops/


3.5.3 Design stations should provide additional passenger waiting capacity,
and seamless intra and inter-platform passenger movement, in
considerations accordance with TransLink stop and station policy and guidelines.

Where less direct interchange opportunities are to be provided,


apply pedestrian design consideration to maximise the
convenience of the interchange movement by:
• minimising the required walking distance
• maintaining direct sightlines across the facility and services
• providing continuous and seamless high quality pedestrian
connections within the facility
• identifying the interchanging opportunity within facilities
• providing route and timetable information for the
corresponding facility
• ensuring high-frequency services are given priority over feeder
services for direct and efficient access to a stop or station,
to minimise their dwell and travel times.

Bus access roads and bays should consider:


• appropriate design for constant heavy vehicle use
and manoeuvring
• surface materials designed for ease of cleaning and slip
resistance in all weather conditions
• surfaces designed to avoid pooling or collection of detritus
or other unwanted debris.

3.6 Kiss ‘n’ ride infrastructure


Kiss ‘n’ ride is preferred at stops and This section explains how to provide good kiss ‘n’ ride
stations serving low-density residential infrastructure including:
areas where the level of public transport • access from the road network around a stop or station
service is low.
• interface between the stop or station and the kiss ‘n’ ride area
• the role of kiss ‘n’ ride as a key access point for people with
mobility impairment
• the difference between set-down and pick-up
(that is, waiting times)

Table 3.10 provides an overview of kiss ‘n’ ride infrastructure.

Table 3.10:
Kiss ‘n’ ride key elements

Consideration Guideline description

Passenger set-down and pick-up bays These can be for private vehicles or taxis, shared or dedicated,
kerbside or on-site (off-street) and could include:
• indented bays along a kerb-line
• regular (non-indented) kerbside bays designated as
passenger loading zone or very short-term parking
• allocated angle parking bays within a parking lot facility
associated with a park ‘n’ ride or activity centre – for example,
very short-term (less than 10 minutes) parking.

Pedestrian and vehicle waiting areas This can include:


• storage bays and overflow allowances for waiting
(pick-up) vehicles
• waiting areas and amenity utilities for public transport
passengers awaiting their ride
• pedestrian access paths.

• activity generated by proximate land uses –
for example a shopping or other activity centre
• mode share projections or broad target planning
policies (which can be applied to generate
approximate volumes or future targets).

Travel surveys should be conducted to capture passenger


drop-off and pick-up activity for each individual site
for example:
• Behaviour at kiss ‘n’ ride infrastructure in the
morning peak period is different to behaviour in the
evening peak period. Dwell times are longer during
the evening peak when the majority of vehicles are
picking up passengers, as opposed to dropping off
during the morning
• Kiss ‘n’ rides that also service an activity centre (for
example a shopping centre) experience traffic activity
outside the normal public transport peak periods
• Taxis setting down at dedicated ranks may wait
for another fare, hence combining set-down and
pick-up activity.

Access paths and waiting amenities • The provision of a waiting area consisting of a hardstand area
with a suitable slip-resistant finish (as per accessibility and
architectural design requirements). This is in addition to a
minimum pathway allowance. Consideration to be given to
appropriate LOS for this area.
• Access pathways to stops or stations must
meet the requirements outlined previously for
pedestrian infrastructure.
• The pathway will extend the full length of the facility,
providing access to the full length of all bays.
• Where the carriageway and waiting area/circulation
paths are at different grades, additional width will be
provided to accommodate kerb ramps, as per applicable
Australian Standards.
• Kerb ramps must be provided at the front or rear of each bay
length as per applicable Disability and Australian Standards.
• Minimise the distance between the kiss ‘n’ ride and bus
stopping positions. Where possible, walking distance
between the public transport boarding point and kiss ‘n’ ride
area should not be more than 150 metres for pedestrians.

Dimensions/envelope • Parking bay envelope will vary depending on configuration.


• Applicable Australian Standards apply for:
–– non-parallel bays (meet off-street parking standards)
–– minimum kerbside bay width and length (including fully
accessible bays for people with disabilities)
–– minimum height clearance
–– angle parking bay dimensions (require specific
physical dimensions).

public spaces.

Hazards/minimising inter-modal conflict • Consideration of slow vehicles entering and exiting a


kiss ‘n’ ride facility when approaching potential points of
conflict (for example intersections, blind curves, crossings).
• Clearly identify crossing arrangements if kiss ‘n’ ride patrons
are required to cross a carriageway of any sort.
• Where a cycle access path runs parallel at-grade with a
kerbside kiss ‘n’ ride bay, provide additional dedicated
lane width to the right of the bay.
• On no account should cyclists be encouraged to proceed on
the left of a kiss ‘n’ ride bay, on or off-road.
• Cycle paths should avoid interaction with kiss ‘n’ ride bays.
• Under no circumstances should cycle paths be led through
shared zones for accessible kiss ‘n’ ride bays.

Surveillance • Where applicable, kiss ‘n’ ride areas and connecting


paths should be specifically covered by security camera
infrastructure (for example, CCTV) with the ability to survey
movements between public transport platforms and a

3.6.4 Supporting components


The scale of the public transport facility – and strategic
direction from TransLink – will determine the scope for
supporting components to be provided with kiss ‘n’ ride
infrastructure.

3.6.4.1 Signage and way-finding


Signage and way-finding for kiss ‘n’ ride infrastructure
should be implemented at a scale that allows for in-
vehicle navigation and information. All information
relevant to the use of kiss ‘n’ ride needs to be
imparted on the approaching roadway. Any information
about public transport services should be provided at
the kiss ‘n’ ride waiting area or within the stop or
station area.

Signage for kiss ‘n’ ride infrastructure should be


incorporated into the overall stop or station signage
plan. Undertake a review of off-site directional signage
needs and present recommendations to the key
stakeholders responsible for local road infrastructure.
Consultation should proceed regarding the quality and
extent of directional signage provision.

Refer to Table 4.1 (Branding, Theming and Signage) for


guidance on signage.

3.6.4.2 Amenities
Amenities for kiss ‘n’ ride users are items that can

• Demand considerations: Changes in traffic volumes
may require upgrades to road infrastructure on
streets feeding the site. This may include intersection
upgrades, carriageway reconfigurations, traffic
calming or resurfacing.
• Public transport patronage: Assess the impact of the
park ‘n’ ride on route capacity and the implications
for network planning in terms of the need for
additional services and/or dedicated routes.

Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

If park ‘n’ ride is to be planned with surrounding


development (such as office, commercial or other
relevant activities), immediate priority should be given
to creating developments with street active frontages,
which are more pedestrian friendly, as opposed to
parking dominant frontages (see Figure 3.2).

A park ‘n’ ride site can potentially act as a catalyst for


precincts identified for future development. In such
situations it is important to plan for anticipated evolution
of the site to:
• maintain consistency with the changing precinct
• allow for development on publicly-owned land
(that is, the park ‘n’ ride site).

An example of this is shown in Figure 3.3.

To manage the long-term evolution of a park ‘n’ ride


site, ensure that all development assessment
requirements are clearly established upfront,
lodged with relevant referral authorities, and
follow relevant assessment processes.

• Apply CPTED principles to maximise pedestrian
safety, visual integration and the use of security
infrastructure (for example, security cameras).
• Wherever possible, segregate park ‘n’ ride access
traffic from other stop or station traffic to help
control movement and limit the complexity of
vehicle movements in the area. An example of
this is illustrated in the PTIM, Supporting Access
Infrastructure, Appendix 3-A where kiss ‘n’ ride

• demand is likely to approach or exceed capacity


• higher than average demand might be expected
(for example, a station serviced by routes that link
to major clinical or community health facilities, or
services for people with a disability).

Considerations Guideline description

Access roads and car parks • Carriageway and car park surface materials will be
designed for ease of cleaning and slip resistance in all
weather conditions.
• Surfaces will be designed to avoid pooling or collection
of detritus or other unwanted debris.
• Carriageways will be designed to withstand occasional
limited use by heavy vehicles. Areas where this is not
reasonable should be clearly signed or made inaccessible
to such vehicles.

Access paths (pedestrian) • Where possible, take advantage of site topology to


incorporate ramps and overpasses rather than lifts and stairs.
• Access paths to stops or stations should meet the requirements
outlined previously for pedestrian infrastructure.
• Where parking bays and circulation paths are at different
grades, additional path width should be provided to
accommodate kerb ramps, as per Australian Standards.
• Kerb ramps should be provided near accessible bays as per
applicable Australian Standards.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 57
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

Considerations Guideline description

Dimensions/envelope for parking • Parking bay size or envelope will vary depending
on configuration.
• Applicable Australian Standards apply for:
–– non-parallel bays to meet off-street parking standards
–– minimum width and length for a kerbside
park ‘n’ ride bay (including fully accessible bays
for people with disabilities)
–– minimum height clearance
–– angle parking bay dimensions (require specific
physical dimensions).

Minimising inter-modal conflict • Consideration of slow vehicles entering and exiting a


park ‘n’ ride facility when approaching potential points of
conflict (for example, intersections, blind curves, crossings).
• Clearly identify crossing arrangements if park ‘n’ ride patrons
are required to cross a carriageway of any sort.
• Where a cycle access path runs parallel at-grade with a
park ‘n’ ride access road, provide additional dedicated
lane width.
• Cycle paths should avoid interaction with park ‘n’ ride aisles.
–– under no circumstances should cycle paths be led
through shared zones for accessible park ‘n’ ride bays.
• TransLink prefers the separation of vehicle entry and
exit paths.
• TransLink prefers that pedestrian access paths to private
vehicles be located between parking bay rows.

58 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

Considerations Guideline description

Lighting • Lighting is to be provided at all pedestrian areas and


roadways, while lighting levels are required to meet the
applicable regulation standards for public transport and
parking facilities.
• Lighting along carriageways should meet applicable roadway
lighting standards.
• Lighting along pedestrian circulation paths should be
consistent with all other pedestrian paths.
• Minimise light spill to neighbouring properties by using
spill guards.
• Minimise light spill from headlights into adjacent properties
and businesses that operate at night:
–– use plantings and carriageway geometry as the preferred
treatment methods.
–– avoid glare screens except where other options are
not available.
–– where glare screens are approved for use, ensure that
they match the design theming and standards applied
to the stop or station architecture.
• Consider lighting needs inside a multi-storey
park ‘n’ ride including:
–– seasonal impacts on maintaining access for natural light
–– the impact on visual sightlines and reflectivity from
headlights and down-lights.
• Lighting levels are required to meet current regulation
standards for public transport facilities. Refer to the
appropriate Australian Standards application within
AS/NZ 1158.3.1 2005 – Lighting for roads and public spaces.

Surveillance • Park ‘n’ ride facilities and connecting paths should be


specifically covered by security infrastructure (for example
security cameras) with the ability to survey movements
between public transport platforms and the park ‘n’ ride.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 59
Chapter 3 – Supporting access infrastructure

Considerations Guideline description

Landscape Treatment • Choose plants that are:


–– unlikely to interfere with carriageway or parking bay
integrity or intrude upon a carriageway at ground level
–– unlikely to interfere with above and below ground
services and utilities
–– unlikely to regularly shed material that may make
a carriageway slippery, or damage vehicles or
surface materials
–– unlikely to significantly block views between
0.5 and 2.5 metres above ground level
–– drought-resistant
–– consistent with local flora (use local genetic populations
in natural areas of significant ecological value).
• Avoid plants that are:
–– toxic, highly allergenic or noxious weeds
–– known to produce thorns, barbs, stings or
noxious secretions
–– known to attract dangerous fauna.

Noise • Minimise reverberation and vibration from vehicle and


vocally-generated noise.
• Avoid surfaces that may cause wheel squeal or
excessive noise.
• Locate noisy operational equipment away from adjacent
residential or business properties, or sound-proof the
plant housing.

General • Design the layout of the park ‘n’ ride to facilitate progressive
filling of spaces in a way that avoids the need for re-
circulation to search for vacant spaces.
• Protect for the future implementation of access control
devices (such as boom gates) and payment/validation
infrastructure at park ‘n’ ride entry points.
• Design spaces for motorcycle parking in accordance with
Australian Standards.
• Stormwater drainage from parking areas should be captured
and treated prior to release into local stormwater systems.
• Structures should capture stormwater and rainfall for
re-use on-site.
• Utilise gentle vehicle ramps within multi-storey car park
structures, potentially through ramped floors, to protect
against the impact of lift failure.

Signage principles

Consideration Guideline description

Identify Major facility identification signs should:


• be visually distinctive
• clearly display approved and consistent logos
• display the facility name
• display the symbol depicting modes of travel available
from the facility.

Orientate Directional information should include:


• an information point explaining travel options
• a locality map to help orientate the user
• visible way-finding signage to platforms, ticketing, toilets, etc.
• way-finding signage for the surrounding local area
• the direction of travel for services using the facility.

Explain Provide highly-visible and clear information such as:


• timetables and route numbers
• network maps showing all services using the stop/station
• stop name and number, if applicable
• locality map, if applicable
• contact details for public transport network information
• fare zone number where public transport is located,
if applicable.

Chapter 4 – Branding, theming and signage

It is important that the naming of public transport


4.3.2 Naming conventions infrastructure within the network follows naming
convention strategies and guidelines. The link between
stop and station identification signage and other forms
of information media (such as TransLink’s Journey
Planner information) aligns to create a consistent
customer information experience and message. Contact
TransLink for guidance and approval when naming public
transport infrastructure.

The TransLink infrastructure signage strategy builds on


4.3.3 TransLink’s signage the approved colour palette to complement the overall
facility environment. It aims to firstly identify the facility
strategy within the surrounding environment and secondly to
make it easier for passengers to navigate to public
transport boarding points by using colour recognition
as follows:
• Resene ‘Trinidad’ (bright orange), or approved
equivalent, is used as the primary background colour
for identifying and directing to public transport. This
would cover the entire movement of catching a public
transport service (from station or facility identification
through to boarding the vehicle).
• Resene ‘Jon’ (warm grey), or approved equivalent,
is the secondary background colour used for
all other messages. This represents signage for
other facility components (for example, ticketing,
toilets, information, cycling amenities, kiss ‘n’ ride,
park ‘n’ ride, and so on).

TransLink has developed a suite of infrastructure signage


designs for use in its network.

The following figures provide examples of signs to


be used within TransLink’s network facilities and
regional infrastructure.

5.2.1 Intended audience
This chapter is intended for use by professionals in the
transport planning and delivery industry. This generally
involves, but is not limited to, designers, planners,
engineers, architects and other professionals involved
in the planning, design and delivery of public transport
infrastructure in Queensland.

5.2.2 Application of this chapter


This chapter must be used in conjunction with
overarching applications of the PTIM.

This chapter should be referred to before starting to plan


new or upgrades to existing bus stops.

It details TransLink requirements for the planning


and design of bus stop infrastructure across the
TransLink network.

TransLink, in partnership with Local Government and in


collaboration with relevant stakeholders and delivery
partners, shall be consulted on the final design for new
infrastructure and upgrade of existing facilities.

5.3.6 Premium stop (such as shopping centres, places of employment, and near
community or health facilities) and/or along corridors with
high-frequency services. Consideration of appropriate integration
with surrounding land uses is recommended where this category
of bus stop is proposed. These stops require adequate supporting
access infrastructure, specifically footpaths to/from adjacent land
uses and to nearby attractors.

These stops can serve locations which have a high level of


customer demand (boarding).

This type of stop should also be used where interchanging


between services is expected to occur or where it is part of
supporting access infrastructure such as park ‘n’ ride facilities refer
PTIM, Supporting access infrastructure.

Premium stops can generally be supported by bus priority


measures such as bus queue jumps, bus lanes or HOV lanes where
these assist in supporting the high frequency service requirements
within the corridor.

Premium Stops will contain a high level of supporting components,


including:
• Hardstand (including minimum boarding point)
• Bus stop sign / marker (blade)
• Timetable information
• Shelter including seating
• TGSI
• Bin

of bus stops
Table 5.2:
Considerations for planning and designing bus stop infrastructure.

Factors influencing What to consider


planning and design

Catchment and spacing • Stop spacing is ideally 400-800m in an urban environment


(approx. 5-10 minute walk and average walking speed 5km/h).
• Inner city and densely built up areas may warrant a spacing of less than 400 metres.
• Express or high-frequency services may use greater than 800m spacing, similar
to rail or busway station spacing.
• In rural or less densely built-up areas, stop spacing will vary based on the need
to maximise service coverage.
• Q
uality and ease of access that is available through the street network
(that is, permeability of the surrounding street network).
• TransLink in consultation with the relevant stakeholders will determine the
most appropriate locations for bus stops taking into account the present and
future TransLink network requirements specific to a local government area and
customer needs (that is, demographics, ridership types).

16 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 5 – Bus stop infrastructure

Factors influencing What to consider


planning and design

Location • Ensure safe sightlines for vehicles, bus operators and passengers. Keep stops
away from tight horizontal curves or vertical curves (road crests or sags) that
create ‘blind spots’. It is the responsibility of the provider to check and confirm
sight lines are adequate and meet the relevant standards.
• Ensure bus drivers and waiting passengers are clearly visible to each other.
• Ensure buses can pull up safely on-road and have ease of manoeuvrability.
In High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, consider including indented bus bays.
• Posted speed limit particularly for kerb side/on-road facilities.
• Choose sites where there is sufficient pavement area for pedestrians to safely
walk past the bus stop area (and shelter, if required).
• Provide convenient boarding and alighting for passengers by locating stops:
–– close to community facilities and services that attract a high proportion
of people with a disability
–– close to significant attractors (for example, shopping centres, commercial
premises, places of employment, educational facilities)
–– close to other stops (and in some cases stations) to minimise walking
if transferring between services.
• Provide safe access for passengers by locating stops:
–– Close to dedicated pedestrian road crossings away from facilities
with high parking turnover
–– away from dense foliage and other objects that hinder direct sightlines
–– in well-lit areas or where access to power for future lighting is possible.
• Bus stops should be located in pairs so that boarding and alighting happens
in close proximity, with the opposite stop clearly visible.
• When locating mid-block, paired bus stops should ideally be staggered in a
tail-to-tail arrangement with sufficient space between stops to ensure vehicles
can pass and passengers can safely cross behind the buses at the stops.

Where new infrastructure has the opportunity to do so, a reasonable attempt must
be made to protect for any planned or upgraded infrastructure by local government
or other state government agencies.

Consideration should also be given to locations where an access path does not exist
along the road/street where a bus stop is located. Discussion with local government
should be undertaken on the appropriateness for customers to travel along the road
carriageway (subject to the street environment and hierarchy) to access the bus stop
boarding point. Provision of kerb ramps and safe crossing facilities may need to be
identified to ensure the bus stop is accessible.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 17
Chapter 5 – Bus stop infrastructure

Factors influencing What to consider


planning and design

Intersections and • It is preferable that a bus stop is located:


pedestrian crossings –– near existing pedestrian crossing facilities
(for example, dropped kerbs, refuge islands, signals)
–– downstream of a pedestrian crossing facility
–– where there is minimal conflict with parking areas and other potential
traffic hindrances
–– to provide sufficient sight distance so buses can safely re-enter/merge
with the traffic lane.
• Bus stops near intersections should:
–– generally be located on the far side of an intersecting street (to assist bus
movements, reduce delays, and provide clearer sightlines of intersecting
vehicles)
–– be located on approach to an intersection in situations where the stop will
service through services and services turning at the intersection or where
known future development may require a service change and in order to
minimise re-siting of infrastructure
–– not be sited opposite to an intersection street (that is, at a T-intersection).
• Locating a bus stop close to an intersection requires consideration on a case-
by-case basis, particularly where a ‘bus zone’ is to be established. Frequency of
services and dwell-time are of particular importance to ensure the stop’s location
causes the least interference with intersection operations.
• Refer Table 5.3 Queensland Road Rules stopping prohibition.

18 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 5 – Bus stop infrastructure

Factors influencing What to consider


planning and design

Access • I deally, bus stop planning and design should be done in conjunction with
planning for appropriate access infrastructure (that is, walking, cycling, and so
on). See PTIM, Supporting access infrastructure.
• When upgrading or re-siting existing stops, or providing new bus stop
infrastructure, consideration should be given to:
• Pedestrian infrastructure
–– interface of the stop with the wider pedestrian network
(that is, consideration of desire-lines)
–– provision of appropriate pedestrian crossing facilities
–– kerb ramps – connection, quality and configuration
–– accessible path width, grade, continuity and alternative paths
–– need and placement of pedestrian infrastructure such as rest points,
railings, street furniture
–– pedestrian walkway and waiting shade cover for sun and weather protection.
• Cycle Infrastructure
–– interface of the stop with the wider cycle network
(that is, consideration of cycle desire-lines)
–– need for dedicated or shared crossings
–– kerb ramps – appropriate connection, shared or dedicated provision,
quality, storage space, width and configuration (wider kerb ramps are
preferred when pedestrians and cyclists share crossings)
–– path/lane width, grade, continuity and alternatives
–– provision and/or placement of end-of-trip amenity components
(for example, storage, water, other amenities)
–– connection to existing or planned shared or neighbouring Cycle amenities.

Refer also to the TMR’s Road Planning and Design Manual, Technical Note 128:
Selection and Design of Cycle Tracks for guidance on the provision of cycle paths at
bus stops.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 19
Chapter 5 – Bus stop infrastructure

Factors influencing What to consider


planning and design

Capacity • Vehicle capacity is related to both the capacity of the individual loading areas
and their design.
• Consider both known and potential future numbers of bus services that are likely
to serve the stop at any one time.
• Bus dwell time and clearance time at the bus stop influences the stop loading
area capacity and therefore the likely number of loading areas required. (Dwell
time is proportional to the boarding and alighting time of customers, and is
influenced by the type of fare payment.)
• Nearby traffic signals can influence the number of buses into or out of a stop,
and bus arrival profiles (that is, random or platoon).
• When calculating the bus stop vehicle capacity of a bus stop, consult TransLink
for appropriate assumptions. Where there are timetables for the operating
strategy (existing or forecast), a ‘clock-face’ type approach to understanding how
the frequency of services influence the amount of space required at a stop is
suggested as the ideal methodology to assess capacity. Also consider referring to
the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual (3rd Edition) (TCQSM)
for guidance.

with all standards applicable to bus stop planning and The appropriate configuration of bus stops is subject to
design, in particular the Transport Standards. site-specific requirements, operational constraints and
local government requirements as the provider of the bus
stop. In determining the location and appropriate bay
configuration, the provider should consider:
• traffic speed
• traffic volume
• curvature of the road and sightlines
• adjoining land uses.

TransLink in partnership with Local government shall


be consulted to assist in determining the most
appropriate configuration.

Table 5.4 details the typical bus stop arrangements and


TransLink’s preference for their provision in the network.

Chapter 5 – Bus stop infrastructure

Table 5.4:
Bus stop arrangements

Bus bay configuration Description

Indented bus bay • Will require sufficient pavement area for buses to stop safely and efficiently out
of main traffic stream.
• Will accommodate minimum of one bus for regular and intermediate stop
types and two buses for premium stop type (subject to identified stop
capacity requirements).
• Requires buses to stop out of traffic stream. Acceptable gaps must be available in
through-traffic stream to enable bus to re-enter.
• May be appropriate at high-loading stops, or if the stop is used as a timing point
or bus drive change-over point.
• Length of bay tapers (for accelerating and braking) dependent on traffic speed
(typically 60km/hr). Minimum 1:7 on approach, and minimum 1:5 on departure.
Longer tapers may be required for higher traffic speed environments.
• Bus bay width to be minimum 3m.
• Typically considered for intermediate or premium stop types.

Kerbside bus bay • Most common configuration.


• Allows bus to conveniently pull up to stop (preferably out of main traffic stream).
• Will accommodate minimum of one bus for regular and intermediate stop types
and two buses for premium stop type (subject to identified stop
capacity requirements).
• Can be readily increased to address changing capacity of type of bus
utilising stop.
• Kerbside bay typically preferred for a regular bus stop type, and intermediate
stop type.

Open bus bay • Variant on the indented bus bay but is located at an intersection.
• Allows buses to drive straight into or out of the stop.
• Will accommodate minimum of one bus for regular and intermediate stop types
and two buses for premium stop type.
• Requires implementing a ‘turn left only, buses excepted’ lane at intersection.
• This arrangement is site specific for all bus stop types. Liaison with the
appropriate local road authority is recommended.

Chapter 5 – Bus stop infrastructure

The following should also be considered alongside the


bus stop configuration for the site:
• If kerbside parking lanes are provided, there are
few advantages to indented bays except in the case
where public transport priority or HOV lane conditions
are implemented
• Where on-road cycle lanes are required, refer to the
current Department of Transport and Main Roads’
Road Planning and Design Manual, Technical Note
128: Selection and Design of Cycle Tracks and/or the
relevant local authority for guidance.

5.6.1.1 Kerb at stop


The Transport Standards Part 8.1(2) states that where
a kerb is installed at a bus stop it must be at least
150mm higher than the road surface. This enables an
operator to design its on-board ramps accordingly
to ensure that the slope of the boarding ramp (that is,
the interface between the bus stop infrastructure and
the bus) does not exceed the maximum inclines noted in
Transport Standards Part 6.4.

A kerb at a bus stop should therefore:


• allow for safe, efficient passenger set down
and pick up
• meet the minimum Transport Standards
height of 150mm
• be a barrier kerb
(avoid semi-mountable kerb types).

–– directs passengers to where they should wait to board the bus
–– guides the bus driver to the optimal stop position for passengers to board
and alight safely.
• The bus stop marker provides the control point to set out the layout of the rest
of the bus stop (for example, customer waiting area). Its position should:
–– line up with the front of the bus when the vehicle is at the stop and ready
for boarding and alighting
–– preferably not be directly adjacent to the front door of a property (to
maintain privacy for local residents)
–– preferably not cause the bus to block a property’s driveway when stopped
for boarding and alighting
–– avoid placing the bus stop zone over stormwater drains and pits
–– be close to street lighting.
• Stop marker must comply with TransLink’s signage guidelines (refer to the PTIM,
Branding, theming and signage). It should provide highly-visible and clear
information about services including (where applicable):
–– timetables clearly showing site-specific departure times with destination
names or frequency of service(s)
–– route number(s) of services using the stop or station
–– network map identifying all services using the stop or station
–– stop name and number
–– contact details for public transport network information
–– fare zone number where public transport is located
–– unique stop identifier for bus stop location purposes.
• Where appropriate to the bus stop type and site context, the stop signage
should provide directional information regarding public transport and supporting
components, including:
–– an information point explaining travel options (for example, where services
go and the type of services available—where appropriate, this can include
alternative transport such as taxis)
–– a locality map to help orientate the user
–– visible way-finding signage to direct customers to other public transport
services and other points of interest (for example, ticketing, toilets, other
end-of-trip facilities)
–– way-finding signage for the surrounding local area (that is, adjacent streets
and places of interest)
–– the direction of travel for services using the stop or station.

Chapter 5 – Bus stop infrastructure

Element Consideration

Bus zones • The bus stop zone will be:


–– formalised with barrier kerb and channelling (where possible)
–– kept clear of kerb ramps and kerb openings
–– kept clear of electricity poles and electricity pits
–– kept clear of tree foliage (minimum height of 4.5 metres)
–– kept clear of all infrastructure and plantings for at least 600 millimetres from
the kerb
–– located where there is good drainage to prevent pooling of water or other
low lying ground problems
–– located to avoid stormwater drains and pits, and drains where this could
become an obstacle for passengers boarding the bus
–– located away from driveways to avoid buses restricting private
property accesses
• A bus zone is the length of road to which a bus zone sign applies.
• Use bus zone signs where more than one bus may be required to use the
bus stop, or where other competing road requirements exist (such as
on-street parking).
• A
bus stop zone should not be less than 30 metres, and typically be located
within 20 metres approaching the bus stop marker, and 10 metres on the far side
of the stop marker11. However, TransLink’s preferred approach length is 25 metres
for a 12.5m bus.
• The approach length should reflect the design bus utilising the stop and the
proposed type of operation.
• Refer to bus stop length requirements in this chapter in Table 5.7.

Accessibility including • Consists of the whole pavement space used by the bus stop and, importantly, the
passenger waiting area space available for waiting and boarding/alighting a bus service.
• The bus stop passenger waiting area must comply with the Transport Standards.
It should:
–– provide accessible and safe access to the bus stop boarding point and buses
servicing the stop
–– allow for easy manoeuvring of wheelchairs and prams
–– where access paths/walkways adjoin the bus stop boarding point, provide
a compliant access ramp not exceeding maximum gradient and length
–– be maintained with at least 1.2 metres (preferably 1.5 metres) of clear access,
around and between all infrastructure and obstructions
–– be maintained with bus stop boarding points that are flat and stable with a
maximum gradient of 1:40 across both longitudinal and cross-fall direction
–– address the longitudinal gradient of the adjacent road/street to ensure safe
boarding and alighting at the bus stop12.
–– where possible, be kept free from clutter produced from other street
furniture—especially in the spaces used for waiting, access and/or boarding
and alighting
–– allow passengers to easily access and view timetables and public transport
information without being obstructed by other objects (for example, bin)
–– allow for sufficient pedestrian through-flow and not clash with waiting
passengers
–– be located to minimise exposure to direct sunlight and other environmental
conditions (that is, wind and weather) for waiting passengers
–– be free from drainage pits, to prevent buses from splashing pooled water
when approaching the stop
–– be able to allow for efficient runoff and drainage to prevent water from
pooling on the bus stop boarding and alighting areas and waiting areas
(where applicable).
• TGSIs are mandatory for the minimum boarding point. TGSIs should:
–– guide customers with vision impairment to the boarding point and warn
of hazards
–– be perpendicular to the kerb and across the full width of the access
path to the shore line
–– have a minimum 30% contrast between the TGSI and surrounding
ground surface.
–– be kept clear of furniture and hazards (minimum 300mm clearance).
• When not located near a pedestrian-accessible intersection, a pedestrian refuge
(or similar) should be located nearby for safe and convenient access.
• Kerb ramps are to be provided as required, facilitating access to a crossing or
boarding point.
• Minimum kerb height of 150mm is to be provided to meet the slope requirements
when a bus ramp is deployed (that is, gradient of less than 1 in 8, enabling
wheelchair users to board without assistance or 1:4 where assisted)
• Where no kerb is provided along a verge/street, a barrier type kerb (upright kerb)
should be provided at the minimum boarding point.

for the supply and installation of shelters at bus stops across the network. A suite
of shelters is available with detailed drawings of each shelter type and guidance
on shelter selection are provided in this chapter’s ‘Technical details’ section and
Appendix 5-A & B.
• Shelters do not typically need to be provided at stops that are at the end-point/
outbound routes.
• Shelters should:
–– not protrude/encroach on the minimum boarding point or manoeuvring and
circulation area
–– not obstruct an accessible path of travel/footpath
–– define the bus stop and provide protection from environmental conditions
–– maintain clear sightlines to the bus stop for passive surveillance (CPTED)
–– maintain clear sightlines to allow customers to easily hail approaching buses
–– incorporate seating and allocated spaces for wheelchair users
–– incorporate overhead lighting to maximum personal security.

Seating
• S
eating should be placed at least 500mm clear of the accessible path of travel,
and preferably located at the rear of the stop.
• It is preferable to orient seating so that passengers face towards the street
when seated.
• Seating should:
–– not intrude or encroach on the minimum boarding point or manoeuvring
and circulation area
–– be easily maintained, durable and vandal resistant
–– be able to be bolted to hardstand (concrete) areas
–– include backrests and armrests as per the Transport Standards.

There is no specific requirement for dedicated school bus stops


5.8.4 School bus stops to be fully compliant with the Transport Standards. Dedicated
school bus services are exempt from having to provide wheelchair

should urban bus services use the same bus stop, full compliance
would be required.

Where new school stops are being developed, it is TransLink’s


preference that they comply with the disability access standards.

TransLink should be consulted regarding the requirements for the

infrastructure chapter.

Table 5.10 details the key criteria to consider in planning and


designing long-distance coach stops.

Table 5.10:
Long-distance coach planning and design criteria.

Criteria Factors for consideration

Locality guidance Placement of the stop should consider:


• the external road network (determines the direction of vehicle flow within
the interchange)
• t rip destinations (for example, shops, workplaces, educational institutions,
hospitals and health clinics), which indicate likely pedestrian
movement/desire lines
• proximity and access to other passenger transport modes

Planning environment A long-distance coach stop should be well organised and deliver:
• passenger transport stops integrated into a surrounding activity centre
(where applicable)
• waiting areas that are clearly visible from the surrounding road network and
adjacent buildings, and which provide clear views of passenger transport vehicle
arrivals and departures
• direct routes including high visibility, activity and surveillance along those routes
• active frontages along pedestrian paths to the stop
• appropriate kiss ‘n’ ride and park ‘n’ ride facilities
• passenger transport information about the range of services provided
• directional signage that is informative and not confusing
• lighting that is well integrated with signage and passenger information and which
maximises safety, especially at night.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 45
Chapter 5 – Bus stop infrastructure

Criteria Factors for consideration

Operational environment Location of the stop should consider the broader context of service planning
and the coach companies’ operational environment. For example:
• the location of the stop in relation to subsidised long distance coach routes
• co-location with other passenger transport modes, particularly urban buses,
to facilitate passenger transfer and distribution
• future coach service growth
• assisting the bus industry to reduce the inefficiencies of dead-running
• facilitating adherence to driving-hour requirements (fatigue management).

Scenario 5: Shuttle service for a retirement village School bus stops


Example: Scenario 6: School bus stops adjacent to school grounds
A private mini-bus serves residents in a retirement
Example:
village, taking them to and from local facilities (for
example, shops and clubs). This bus service operates There is a bus stop on the footpath adjacent to
regularly. The mini-bus has the capability of stopping a secondary school that only serves school students.

if necessary. in the morning and pick-up only in the afternoon.
There is a written sign at the bus stop stating that
The retirement village operators own the shuttle it is for school use.
bus vehicle.
There are no other facilities at this bus stop.
Response:
Response:
If this shuttle service is solely for the use of retirement
village residents, and a member of the public is not A bus stop that is solely for the use of school students
permitted to use the shuttle, the Transport Standards queries whether this is a public bus stop for the
would not be applicable. purposes of the Transport Standards s1.23.

The Transport Standards specifically exempts dedicated


school buses from the provision of wheelchair access. It
would seem to follow from this that a bus stop that solely
serves a dedicated school bus service would also be
exempt from wheelchair access compliance.

Full design compliance with the Transport Standards at a


bus stop that solely serves school buses could possibly
be misleading for a non-student user, particularly
someone with a vision impairment. Full design
compliance would typically entail provision of TGSIs on
the footpath. A non-student user, that relies on TGSIs,
would assume that the TGSIs lead to a bus stop that has
regular services, yet no regular services would stop at
this stop.

Please note however previous comments with regards


to facilitating an accessible bus stop facility to address
individual school needs.

Chapter 5 – Bus stop infrastructure

Scenario 7: School bus run picking up/setting down


school students near their homes

Example:
A bus picks up school students at specific locations near
their individual homes. The pickup point is not signed.
Locations may vary from year to year depending on the
particular school catchment, enrolments and operator.

Response:
This scenario has similar issues as bus stops outside
schools serving only school students. Query once again
whether this is a public service, or whether it is more
akin to a shuttle bus service.

Chapter 6 – Bus station infrastructure

6. Introduction
The Bus Station Infrastructure chapter is a referenced component
6.1 Overview of the Bus of the overarching Public Transport Infrastructure Manual (PTIM).
This Bus station infrastructure chapter is to be used in conjunction
Station Infrastructure with:

chapter • PTIM, Background and application, which establishes the


rules for application of the entire Public Transport
Infrastructure Manual
• PTIM, Planning and design, which provides the overarching
design guidelines and principles for public transport
infrastructure across Queensland
• PTIM, Supporting access and infrastructure, which details the
supporting access infrastructure required to support public
transport stops, stations and related facilities
• PTIM, Branding, theming and signage, which provides
branding, theming and signage that should be used for
identifying coherent public transport infrastructure
throughout Queensland.

For information on further resources to support the planning


and design of bus stations, please refer to the PTIM, References
and resources.
The Bus station infrastructure chapter will inform infrastructure
6.2 Purpose and design by providing a clear and consistent set of principles and
guidelines for bus stations across the TransLink network.
objective
It will ensure that a high standard of infrastructure is planned
and delivered to meet the needs and objectives of the TransLink
passenger transport system and passenger expectation. Ultimately,
high-quality and consistent infrastructure will provide customers
with a transport system that is coherent, functional and encourages
passenger use.

The objectives of this chapter are to:


• ensure best practice infrastructure design is applied
across the TransLink network
• outline the preferred requirements for bus station design
• detail requirements for compliance with relevant standards
and regulations
• ensure the delivery of high-quality public transport infrastructure
• ensure the delivery of accessible infrastructure.

Chapter 6 – Bus station Infrastructure

6.3 Application of the Bus


Station Infrastructure chapter
6.3.1 Intended audience
This chapter is intended for use by professionals in the
transport planning and delivery industry. This generally
involves, but is not limited to, designers, planners,
engineers, architects and other professionals involved
in the planning, design and delivery of public transport
infrastructure in Queensland.

6.3.2 Application of this chapter


This chapter must be used in conjunction with
overarching applications of the PTIM.

This chapter should be referred to before starting to plan


new or upgrades to existing bus stations.

It details TransLink requirements for the planning


and design of bus station infrastructure across the
TransLink network.

TransLink, in partnership with local government and in


collaboration with relevant stakeholders and delivery
partners, shall be consulted on the final design for new
infrastructure and upgrade of existing facilities.

Chapter 6 – Bus station infrastructure

6.4 Principles of bus


station planning
For the purpose of this chapter, a bus station is defined as:
6.4.1 What is a station? ‘a high-quality passenger transport facility that acts as a central
departure and/or destination point to accommodate high
passenger volumes’.

Bus stations provide passengers with the key point of connection


between transport services and a desired destination (or transfer
point en route to a destination). Stations are normally located on
corridors with high-frequency services and can be located from
outer-suburban areas to inner-city areas.

Stations generally serve key catchment areas such as commercial


and business districts and may contain a moderate to very high
level of supporting infrastructure (for example, quality footpaths,
kiss ‘n’ rides, public amenities, cycle amenities and park ‘n’ rides).

6.4.1.1 Bus station TransLink has categorised bus stations based on infrastructure
function and configuration. These categories must work in
categories conjunction with the public transport infrastructure hierarchy
in the PTIM, Public Transport Infrastructure Planning and Design.
This will establish infrastructure hierarchy and function based
on its locality.

Table 6.1:
Provides a brief description of the types of bus stations.

Bus station category Description

Standard bus station • Provide access to beginning and end of trip movement from multiple services
• Typically not intended for interchanging between modes

Intra-modal bus station • Destination or departure point for high-priority services


• Key bus-to-bus interchange points in the network
• Located on two or more bus corridors

Multi-modal station • Provide transfers between different modes


• Serve significant catchment areas
• Where two or more public transport corridors come together with different modes

Contact TransLink for confirmation and assistance with determining the hierarchy and category of station infrastructure.

Chapter 6 – Bus station Infrastructure

6.5 Bus station environment


Integration with land use is critical for all public transport
6.5.1 Integration with infrastructure including bus station infrastructure, particularly in
order to adequately cater for customers needs, ensures community
land use access to services and contributes to reducing dependency on car.

While other factors such as operational capacity and network


characteristics influence the functionality of public transport
infrastructure, ultimately the location is the key driver for
passengers using the facility.

The majority of locality factors (for example, population


projections, demographics, major attractors) for public transport
infrastructure are led by the relevant land use plan for the location.
This could include:
• regional plans
• local government land use plans
• transport strategies and plans

Reference should also be made to the Queensland Government’s


development assessment processes and systems.

The overarching design guidelines within the PTIM need to be


applied giving consideration to site-specific characteristics
to create an attractive, seamless integration with the
surrounding environment.

In some cases, major public transport infrastructure (such as bus


stations) is an integral part of supporting economic development
of urban centres, and supports increased densities by encouraging
transit-oriented developments.

The proximity of transport facilities with complementary land use


developments is vital, as urban consolidation is necessary for
achieving increased public transport patronage and therefore
justifying high-frequency services.

Chapter 6 – Bus station Infrastructure

The following principles should be applied to the • infrastructure footprint: the physical and operational
planning and design of bus station infrastructure: footprint impacts of station facilities are optimised
(for example, vehicle access, stormwater
• stakeholder engagement: partnering with
runoff catchments)
stakeholders to support transit-oriented
development opportunities • safety and security: station is located to promote
customer safety and security, as well as minimise
• land use planning: design is appropriate to
opportunity for criminal or terrorism activity.
surrounding community and considers potential
future densities and land uses
• catchment area: analyse the catchment area to inform
existing and potential passenger volumes
• permeability: ensure there is high quality, legible
access between the surrounding environment and
the transport facility as per the access hierarchy,
including pedestrian connectivity between activity
nodes and the public transport station

6.5.2.3 Other operational


considerations for the planning and
design of bus stations
There are numerous factors that need to be
considered when planning bus station infrastructure.
Table 6.2 summarises these issues and should be
used as a checklist to ensure all the relevant
considerations are included in the planning and
design of new infrastructure.

10 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 6 – Bus station infrastructure

Table 6.2:
Operational considerations for planning and designing bus station infrastructure

Factors influencing planning What to consider


and design

Land availability • Footprint - Public transport infrastructure should not consume more space than
needed for effective operations.
• Land constraints - Design needs to consider land constraints in determining size,
configuration and function of the infrastructure.
Where land is available (for example greenfield sites) it should be preserved to
provide short and long-term demand. Consideration should also be made for the
use of suitable brownfield sites particularly where land is the property of
the State.
• The location of the facility should ideally also consider on-street designs where
the station forms part of the normal main street setting in a city or town centre,
particularly where this offers significant operational benefits for customer
and operator.

Surrounding land use and • Future land use - Consider future land use and demographics in determining
attractors capacity requirements and design.
• Attractors - Consider adjacent and nearby attractors in determining capacity.
Other capacity factors (such as network and service operations, events) should
also be considered.
• Development or redevelopment opportunities created or enhanced by a bus
station facility.

Service frequency • Frequency - The peak and off-peak frequency of services needs to be considered.
• Demand - Patronage increases should be estimated to assist in determining
the possible life of the facility. Forecast patronage increases will require public
transport facilities to be able to accommodate multiple services at higher
frequencies. For example, bus stations will require an adequate number of bus
bays to minimise delay to services using the facilities.
• Access considerations - Cycle parking and kiss ‘n’ ride bays will need
to consider future demand requirements.

Fare collection • Fare collection considerations - The method of fare collection affects
operational capacity of public transport facilities. For example, prepaid ticketing
procedures enable faster boarding, reduced dwell times and allow greater
person throughput.
• Pre-paid fare collection - Where pre-boarding fare collection is applicable,
this needs to be included in the design. This could include pre-paid ticketing
systems, especially those with high level-of-service. The provision of ticketing
systems will be determined by facility layout, size, public comfort and level-of-
service requirements, and revenue protection strategies. The facility layout must
consider the appropriate location of the Paid/Unpaid threshold (position of fare
collection barriers-gates) as part of ensuring sufficient and safe circulation and
queuing of passengers particularly in peak operational periods.
Contact TransLink for preferred fare payment options.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 11
Chapter 6 – Bus station Infrastructure

Factors influencing planning What to consider


and design

Mobility aids, wheelchairs, • Operational impacts - Mobility aids, wheelchairs, prams and cycles increase
pram and cycle boarding boarding times and can impact operational capacity of public transport
infrastructure. This needs to be considered in demand forecasting.
• Accessible design - Design must accommodate all public transport and comply
with the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (DSAPT) and
applicable Australian Standards.

Bus station vehicle access • Access constraints - Station design should not be significantly constrained
by access locations to the major road network, as this affects not only the
number of services able to access a station, but also contributes to delays in
scheduled services.
Capacity restrictions at intersections providing access to and from the station
facility are of great importance as delays at intersections can affect the operation
of the station and the network itself.
When approaching the provision of access between the station and surrounding
road network, it is desirable that the following principles be followed:
–– Access to and from the surrounding road network is to be direct and limit
circuitous routing for buses.
–– The geometric design and intersection control with the major road network
should limit delay for services and provide bus priority measures.
–– If possible, limit or avoid interaction of pedestrian flow and other traffic (for
example shopping centre traffic) with bus movement to ensure efficient
operations and mitigate possible hazardous conflicts.
There are various ways public transport vehicle access movements can be
planned and designed. Access to bus stations may be in the form of a left-in-left-
out arrangement, exclusively for buses, through the adoption of priority lanes
and signalised intersections, or other solutions including real-time priority.
• Manoeuvrability - The ability for buses to efficiently manoeuvre within a station
will depend on vehicle type, size, and station configuration. Station design must
consider current bus types and buses that are expected to use the station in
the future.
The turning circle for design bus manoeuvrability is to be assessed in the design
phase, as follows:
–– Firstly, station function and vehicle operation requirements need to be
determined, as different vehicles have different turning circle and sweep
path requirements.
–– Once this has been determined, designers are required to source the
appropriate turning and manoeuvring patterns for vehicles expected
to operate in the facility. Contact TransLink to confirm the appropriate
design vehicle.

12 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 6 – Bus station infrastructure

Factors influencing planning What to consider


and design

Bus station vehicle access –– The manoeuvring requirements should be overlayed and incorporated into
(continued) the preferred station formations. Refer to relevant standards for bus turning
circle and manoeuvrability requirements.
TransLink and relevant stakeholders will determine the stop configuration to be
used at particular bus stations.
Stations that adopt an independent bus stop configuration need to allocate
sufficient distances between stops to allow vehicles to efficiently manoeuvre
between stops.
For bus stations with low speed environments, TransLink recommends that the
turning and manoeuvring speeds be restricted to 15 kilometres per hour.
Station design must not require buses to reverse when manoeuvring into and out
of stops. Forward direction in and out of a bus stop is the required outcome.
Speed humps are not preferred along TransLink bus routes. Where they are
absolutely necessary, they are to be designed as an approved flat top speed
hump. TransLink should be consulted when speed humps are considered for
inclusion along TransLink bus routes and within facilities.

Pedestrian crossings • Type of crossing - At-grade pedestrian crossings can affect the operating capacity
of the bus station. Conflicts between pedestrians and general vehicle traffic
should be avoided where possible to promote efficient operations and reduce
the risk of accidents.
Grade-separated pedestrian crossings should be provided at all high-volume
stations with the use of stairs, escalators, ramps, lifts and/or bridges. The use
of extensive ramp systems is not preferred as they can be too onerous for some
customers, and in those cases lifts are the preferred option to meet disability
access requirements.
Medium and lower volume stations that do not have a high-speed vehicle
through-lane, but a low-speed single passing lane, may include at-grade
pedestrian crossings at specific locations. The crossings are to be well signed
and marked, have good sightlines for pedestrians and bus operators, include
kerb ramps, and be located where there are low vehicle speed limits. Signalised
crossings may also be considered but are subject to site-specific review.
• Connectivity - All pedestrian crossings should have clear and direct access to
supporting infrastructure and surrounding facilities. The development of grade-
separation should be carefully planned and incorporated in the early stages of
the development planning. Where possible, the grade-separated structure
should be integrated into the primary facility structure in order to minimise
passenger travel.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 13
Chapter 6 – Bus station Infrastructure

Factors influencing planning What to consider


and design

Bus boarding and alighting • Inclusive design - Low-floor fully-accessible buses generally reduce loading
times, particularly in situations where a high percentage of passengers (such
as people with disabilities, the elderly, people with prams and people with
shopping or bulky goods) benefit from the easier vehicle access.
• All new public transport vehicles are required to comply with Disability
Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (DSAPT) and applicable
Australian Standards.
• Mobility aids, wheelchairs and prams can have implications for loading times
and potentially decrease the operational capacity of a station. However, it is
imperative that stations are designed to accommodate all public transport users
and ensure dignified and equitable access to all members of the community.

Platform and access area • Design space - Typically, platform areas and access paths, during peak periods,
design should be LOS C. Further guidance is available in John J. Fruin’s Pedestrian
Planning and Design publication. Seating and waiting areas should be separated
so that they do not interfere with boarding and alighting, facility entrances and
exits, information points or other pedestrian circulation points.
Given the typical LOS C requirements, platform widths and lengths will vary
depending on a range of design criteria including:
–– the type and size of facility layout (for example in some cases buses will
board from the front end of the platform in a lead stop situation, and others
from independent stops, warranting separate design considerations for
queuing and waiting passengers)
–– the anticipated peak public demand (that is, numbers of passengers
boarding and alighting)
–– the type and size of vehicle and stopping arrangement
–– the number of services expected to utilise the facility
–– additional capacities to cater for missed headways.
• Personal comfort - Platform and access areas should be designed to be within
the range of personal comfort during peak periods. The loading area must
accommodate passenger movements when waiting, queuing and accessing
services. Passengers boarding and alighting should not inhibit waiting
passengers. Sufficient space also needs to be provided for passengers to move
to and away from loading and waiting areas.
• Inclusive - All public transport infrastructure must be designed to accommodate
all public transport users and comply with relevant access and design standards.

Chapter 6 – Bus station infrastructure

Factors influencing planning What to consider


and design

Bus layovers and driver • Efficiency - The provision of bus layover facilities, or bus holding zones, at
facilities stations enables buses to wait until required to commence a new service.
This has the potential to allow more efficient bus operations by decreasing
the number of trips between the depots and operating services, and minimise
dead running.
Determining the required number of bus layover bays will generally be dependent
on the proposed bus operations and types to be held at the particular station.
TransLink will determine the number of spaces required, in consultation with bus
operators, during the planning stage of a station.
• Amenities - Depending on service scheduling, bus driver amenities (meal rooms
and toilets) may need to be provided at stations that have a significant number
of terminating services. The size of these facilities should align with the required
quantity of bus layover services and bays. The structure must complement other
components of the station and be located in a discrete location (that is, in close
proximity to bus layover areas) to provide efficient driver access.
• L ayover often may need to be located off-site to facilitate compactness of station
design and integration with adjacent/surrounding land uses. TransLink should
give guidance on proximity, management and reliable access paths for off-site
layover. Safe movement of drivers to and from layover and facilities needs to be
planned and designed for.

Access infrastructure • High-quality access infrastructure - Planning and design should consider how
passengers will access the infrastructure, and incorporate appropriate access
facilities and infrastructure. For detailed guidance refer to the PTIM, Supporting
access infrastructure chapter.

Chapter 6 – Bus station Infrastructure

Bus stations are major elements of passenger transport


6.5.3 Asset management infrastructure and they need to be managed and maintained to
sufficient operational conditions suitable for passenger comfort
and safety.

The station components need to be maintained and managed on


an ongoing basis to ensure the effective operation of a facility.
The framework for how a facility will be managed after the delivery
of infrastructure needs to be considered within the planning and
design process.

The following must be considered when planning and designing


bus station facilities:
• the general requirements for durability, cleaning and
maintenance schedules of infrastructure components
• surveillance and access control of the facility
• cost-effectiveness, commonality and replacement
of components
• approved suppliers of the materials and components
• access to water, electricity and other resources
• general operating costs (such as electricity, water and staff)
• statutory requirements for buildings and facilities
• requirements for staff.

The above is not a definitive list and other considerations may


be required depending on site-specific circumstances.

Relevant operational stakeholders should be engaged in the


planning and design process to ensure that the requirements
of asset management by operators and/or owners have been
considered. All components of bus station infrastructure
should use materials and finishings consistent and compatible
with existing infrastructure and of an approved standard.
In consultation with relevant operating and maintenance
stakeholders, detailed maintenance manuals should be developed
for all components and operation schedules within a station
facility. These should be prepared as a part of the station project.

6.6 Bus station formation


This section provides schematic station layout arrangements that
6.6.1 Understanding can be used as a starting point in the early station planning and
design phase. The schematic layouts can be configured to meet
station layouts site-specific constraints and operational requirements.

With each site having unique characteristics, a site-specific


response needs to consider:
• the surrounding environment and land use
• functional and operational capacity requirements
• surrounding catchment demand from the wider
transport network.

Station design shall be undertaken in conjunction with TransLink


and key stakeholders.

TransLink has defined a range of generic bus station layouts


6.6.2 Bus station to suit the needs of both passenger and public transport vehicle
requirements. Each layout defined in this section would need
layouts to be tailored to meet operational and site requirements for
specific stations. The details depicted in the station layout
drawings such as bus layovers, crossings, amenity facility
locations, etc., aim to represent possible best practice outcomes;
however, not all stations will be able to achieve the depicted
desired outcomes given site constraints.

In addition to the bus station layout itself, a range of supporting


infrastructure (for example, pedestrian and cycle components,
kiss ‘n’ ride, and park ‘n’ ride) needs to be incorporated to
complement station functionality. Refer to the PTIM, Supporting
access infrastructure.

6.6.2.1 Bus linear platform The layout is suited to:

(mono-directional) • standard stations or intra-modal stations with intended


transferring between services
• linear sites with reasonable length and adequate footprint width
• sites with vehicle access and egress locations at either end
of the platforms
• stations located at-grade with lower speed limits and access
from the surrounding road network
• a greater proportion of high frequency services compared to
local and feeder services.

This layout comprises linear bays and passenger loading platforms


located on either side of a through carriageway.

Buses run through the station in a single direction and use one
entry and exit point. In most cases, depending on site constraints,
the platform waiting areas for each bay (including shelters) will run
parallel and have the same directional facing aspect.

Platform areas need adequate room for pedestrian movement,


queueing and waiting areas. Pedestrian crossings will be
positioned behind vehicle movements to minimise impact on
station operations and ensure pedestrian safety.

Station design should use transparent and lightweight structures


to promote passive surveillance.

Buses can either pull up at independent stops along the platform,


or a lead-stop approach can be implemented.

• ‘L’ is the bus bay length for a single bus Two 12.5m rigid buses using an independent stop
• ‘BL’ is the length of bus configuration. Stop area for a 12.5m bus is 25m and
additional length for independent operations is 12m.
• ‘a’ is the additional length for other
bus stop operations Therefore:
• ‘n’ is the number of buses
Length of bus bay =
25 + (12.5 + 12) x (2 – 1) = 49.5 metres.
For on-road stops (as per Table 6.5):
The bus bay length (L) is:
• 25m for a 12.5m bus
• 27m for a 14.5m bus
• 30m for a 18m bus.

Customers enjoy free flowing movement within the station.


6.7.2 Arrangement Public transport infrastructure can include public and private
of space spaces. Public spaces form the pathway from the point of entry
to the point of departure.

Private spaces should not obstruct paths of travel, sightlines to


points of entry, information and decision points, and waiting and
seating areas. Private spaces can include:
• retail and commercial areas
• maintenance and management facility areas
• communications and electrical cupboards.

6.7.2.1 Sequence of movement


The layout of a transport facility should consider the sequence
of public movement. Public movement is in response to the
progressive sequence of actions and decision points along the
path of travel. Movement should be in a forward direction from
the entry to the platform, as illustrated in Figure 6.9.

Chapter 6 – Bus station Infrastructure

6.7.2.2 Circulation within Table 6.6:


Principles of circulation
public transport infrastructure

Type of circulation Principles

Direct circulation • Route between entry and boarding points should be as direct as possible.
• Minimise turns in the path of travel and avoid turns greater than 180 degrees.
• Changes of level should be through continuous straight flights of stairs
or ramps and, if appropriate, escalators or lifts.
–– If turning is required, landings are to be provided with necessary room
for appropriate separation and manoeuvring, and
–– Stairs circulating at 90-degree turns must adopt suitable measures
to provide good sightlines for ascending and descending.
See Figure 6.10.

Cross-path circulation • Provide simple and clearly defined paths of travel that avoid conflict and maximise
station capacity.
• Paths of travel should be clearly established to meet the requirements
of passengers on the dominant side of the pathway, away from the opposite
flow path.
• Avoid circulation systems that have people crossing the paths of others to access
information, ticketing, amenities, platforms, ranks, seating, rubbish disposal and
other requirements.
See Figure 6.11.

Left-hand circulation • Dominant movement pattern of pedestrians is based on the majority of travel
undertaken on the left-hand side.
• Circulation within the facility (including around components and amenities)
should follow this convention for predictability and efficiency.

Vertical circulation • Vertical circulation components such as stairs, ramps, lifts and escalators should
be assembled together centrally.
• Centralised location of components assists with convenient placement of
public information.
• All access components must comply with the relevant Disability Standards.

32 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 6 – Bus station infrastructure

Type of circulation Principles

Changing direction • Changes in direction within circulation should only occur where there is sufficient
space to allow passengers to maintain a sense of direction (use of transparent
materials to enable views is preferable).
• Appropriate space should be provided at information and decision points for
people to avoid conflict with the flow path of travel to ensure comfortable and
efficient movement.

Emergency evacuation • Emergency evacuation considerations, including appropriate circulation paths,


circulation exits and assembly points, should cater for the maximum volume of people using
the facility at any one time.
• Effective signage and way-finding is a key consideration for public circulation in
an emergency situation. This must be reviewed in the detailed design stage and
receive approval by an emergency evacuation specialist.
• Facilities which are structurally at-grade, elevated or below grade present
complex emergency and safety requirements that warrant project specific
design investigation.

Note: The Premises Standards and the National Construction Code (NCC) including
the Building Code of Australia (BCA) provide technical emergency and safety
requirements for passenger transport facilities, as well as cross referencing to the
relevant Australian Standards for design guidance.

Chapter 6 – Bus station Infrastructure

6.7.2.3 Density of occupation The density of passengers to be accommodated should be within


the range of personal comfort, and passengers should experience
modest restrictions without coming into undesirable contact with
any person. The public level of service (LOS) classification ranges
from LOS A to F (Fruin, 1978, Pedestrian Planning and Design).
Level A is the least crowded environment and Level F is the most
crowded environment (and hence most undesirable). TransLink
requires that an acceptable LOS be achieved for pedestrian areas
to ensure comfortable pedestrian densities are not compromised
during peak periods.
The areas of pedestrian occupation which typically require a LOS
design response include:
• waiting and queuing areas (including ticketing and information
points such as information displays, fare machines, fare gates,
and SACIDS )
• seating
• walkways or other areas of circulation
• stairways
• overpasses
• lifts
• ramps
• escalators and travelators.

Note that the suitable LOS for different pedestrian areas of


a station will warrant a different level of area allocation per
pedestrian (for example, the physical space of LOS C for stairways
will be different from the LOS C for waiting areas). In addition to
appropriate space allocation, all pedestrian areas of a station will
comply with applicable Disability Standards.

For pedestrian horizontal travel (that is, walkways and overpasses)


and platform waiting areas, TransLink typically prefers that a LOS C
(between 0.65–0.9 square metres per person of personal space) be
achieved as a minimum during peak periods.

However, this preference may be subject to change depending on


station and service functional arrangements.

entry and exit Clearly defined entry and exit points are essential; not only
providing points of access, but also defining the station
boundaries and where access infrastructure needs to link to the
station from the surrounding built environment.

Design considerations should include provision of entry plazas,


information areas, station concourse, ticket office or facility, and
fare gates.

Infrastructure is designed to provide passive surveillance


6.7.4 Passive surveillance and deter undesirable behaviour.

The physical environment of public transport facilities must be


designed to minimise the possibility of crime, property damage
and anti-social behaviour associated with people gathering
in public spaces. Creating defensible spaces that allow for
surveillance from outside and within the facility will promote
safe environments and will attract greater public use. Refer to the
current version of the Queensland Government’s Crime Prevention
Through Environmental Design (CPTED) guidelines.

Sun and weather protection is to be provided.


6.7.5 Climatic comfort In developing the design of facilities the following
and weather protection should be considered:
• structures must provide sufficient physical width, length and
height to achieve high-quality climatic comfort and weather
protection for passengers to occupy this space
• passengers should be provided with appropriate protection
with enclosed or covered station access points, public
information and decision points, seating and waiting areas, and
boarding and alighting areas
• consideration must be given to the management
of sun, wind, rain, heat, glare and humidity.

An appropriate climate analysis should be included within the


planning and design of public transport infrastructure to inform
appropriate facility orientation and suitability for specific locations.

6.8 Bus station components


This section details the components that need to be
included at bus stations. The use of quality components
(including materials and furnishing) will support effective
station operation by:
• providing a comfortable and safe passenger
environment
• delivering robust infrastructure that minimises
the need for maintenance.

All building and construction components of station


design are to comply with relevant building codes and
Australian Standard requirements.

TransLink in partnership with Local Government shall be


consulted on infrastructure component inclusions for
each facility.

The correct level of design components making up a


facility will depend significantly on the role of the station
in the TransLink network (that is, TransLink’s hierarchy of
transport facilities).

These are detailed in Table 6.8 where:


• M is mandatory (component must be included)
• P is preferred (component will be included subject to
site constraints)
• S is site-specific response (may be required
depending on the station purpose and requirements).

6.9 Choosing station


components
Table 6.9 provides an overview of Table 6.9:
TransLink requirements in choosing station TransLink requirements for station components
components. All station components
must comply with relevant Disability
and Australian standards.

Element Consideration

Materials and furnishing • Common visual appearance by aligning structures, pavement, signage way-finding
and other infrastructure with the TransLink architectural theme.
• Design elements to be tailored to meet site-specific operational and functional
requirements within the overarching TransLink theme.
• Components are high quality, easy to use and maintain.
• Modular and consistent facility components are used to facilitate future
maintenance and expansion of infrastructure.
• Materials (such as steel) for structure supports and beams should emulate
a lightweight appearance to achieve a modern, open and safe environment.
• Comply with all applicable standards and regulations.
• Approved by TransLink and relevant stakeholders.

44 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 6 – Bus station infrastructure

Element Consideration

Pavements and access • Address functional requirements of access for both pedestrians and public
transport vehicles.

Pedestrian pavements
• Provide a consistent, attractive, durable, easily-maintained surface that is
appropriately graded and sheltered.
• Suitable for access, waiting and queuing, as well as accommodating the full range
of furniture elements.
• Integrate TGSIs and way-finding aids for persons with a vision impairment and
comply with applicable Disability Standards.
• External access paths and links to and from the transport station should be
reviewed and considered in the planning and design phase to ensure direct and
equitable access for all users.
Crossings
• Design should remove conflicts between pedestrians, general traffic and public
transport vehicles.
• At busy stations, grade-separated crossings between platforms may be needed.
Lifts or escalators are the preferred options, depending on access requirements.
Where possible, the grade-separated structure should be integrated into the
primary facility structure in order to minimise passenger travel.
• Where at-grade, pedestrian crossings will be signed, with good sightlines for
pedestrians and drivers. Signalised crossings may also be considered but are
subject to site-specific requirements.

Cycle access
• Separate or shared pedestrian and cycle paths shall be implemented where
cycle use is promoted.

Other access requirements


• Requirements for service and emergency vehicles should also be considered.

Vehicle pavement design


• Vehicular pavement design must accommodate the loads and turning movements
associated with all vehicle types expected to access the station. Concrete rather
than asphalt should be used to minimise maintenance.
• Overall pavement finish options must be endorsed by TransLink and
relevant stakeholders.

Other
• Footing details for platform shelters and other facility infrastructure, as well as all
pavements, need to meet current regulations and standards and be approved by
a certified engineer.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 45
Chapter 6 – Bus station Infrastructure

Element Consideration

Kerbs • Provide the transition between the waiting environment and the vehicle pavements
associated with the bus bays, layover areas and road access.
• Will be extruded concrete in square-edged profile with a typical height of 150
millimetres from the road surface. The kerb should be engineered to withstand
vehicle wheel impacts and loads. Refer Typical Single and Double Platform
Arrangements drawing in Appendix 6-A of this chapter.

Ramps • Provide a smooth transition between road and platform surface levels
– and in any other instance where a transition between different levels is required.
• Comply with applicable building and Disability Standards, with adherence
to the particular construction details shown in the Australian Standards.

Stairs and escalators • Escalators and stairs should not conflict with the direction of established horizontal
pedestrian flow for those entering or leaving the flow of vertical travel.

Stairs
• Use where grade-separated treatments are necessary for access or movement
within a station (such as over transit lanes).
• Stairs should provide simple and safe transition between levels and comply with
all applicable design standards (the proportion of treads to risers, landings, slip
resistance, TGSIs, colour contrasts and hand rails/balustrades).
• Stairs are typically accompanied by ramps for compliance, when required.
• TransLink prefers design to accommodate LOS C based on pedestrian flow during
peak periods, allowing for both ascending and descending movement.

Escalators
• Alternative to stairs for stations operating with consistently high volumes
of passengers during peak periods, or stations that feature high levels of
grade separation.
• Should be co-located with stairs to offer passengers both options.
• If the option of including bi-directional escalators is not available (due to site
constraints or station capacity volumes not being sufficient), escalator travel
should be given preference towards ascending passengers or the dominant
peak flow.
• Escalator width should be sufficient for passengers to queue in a single file by
simply standing, while still allowing pedestrians who wish to walk (in the travel
direction) to pass with minimal obstruction.
• Escalators must comply with applicable structural Building And Disability
Standards, and should be consistent with the overall station architectural design.

46 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 6 – Bus station infrastructure

Element Consideration

Lifts and overpasses • Some stations will need a lift and overpass structure to connect platforms.
• LOS C during peak is preferred for overpass walkways.
• LOS D acceptable for lifts during peak periods.
• Comply with applicable Disability Standards and Australian Standards.
• Should appear to be of a lightweight modern structure, transparent to ensure
passive surveillance, durable, easily cleaned (such as stainless steel finish).
• Be consistent with the overall architectural look and feel of the station.

Signage • Signage must comply with TransLink’s signage guidelines.


• Provide logical timetable displays, way-finding signage and overall facility signage.
• Use universal icons, symbols and indicators.
• Consult TransLink on the general inclusions and arrangement of signage
at station facilities.

For further information on TransLink’s infrastructure signage refer to the


PTIM, Branding, Theming and Signage chapter.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 47
Chapter 6 – Bus station Infrastructure

Element Consideration

Way-finding including • May include non-text or map-based indicators and themes to assist people
tactile ground surface to travel in their preferred direction.
indicators • Can incorporate handrails, tapping rails, building or shore lines, path widths,
lighting, paving patterns, arrows, vistas, colours, shapes and TGSIs.
• Can assist in aiding equitable access for all passengers, especially people with
vision impairment.
• Must comply with applicable Disability Standards and Australian Standards.
• Good facility design will use buildings or shore lines to facilitate clear and direct
access as an effective means to assist way-finding, and minimise the need for other
additional aids.
• TGSIs
–– Warning TGSIs identify hazards such as stairs, change of direction, or
gradients. For bus stations, TransLink requires warning TGSIs to be provided
along the front of each bus platform edge. Contact TransLink for requirements.
–– Directional TGSIs are used as a walking guide to bus stop boarding points
and may be used to show the most appropriate and desirable route of travel
through a station. However, good facility design will provide other preferred
alternatives such as the use of shore lines, and consistent and logical use
of spaces.
–– TGSIs must achieve or better the Disability Standard’s minimum contrast
required from the surrounding pavement surface colour.
–– Designs and layouts should be reviewed by specialist access personnel,
as well as appropriate user groups, to achieve the most suitable outcome
for each location
–– TGSI should not direct a passenger to a bin.

48 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 6 – Bus station infrastructure

Element Consideration

Handrails, balustrades Handrails


and fencing • Handrails are generally used in conjunction with ramps, stairs and walkways.
• Can be used as a form of support and way-finding aid that is compliant with
relevant standards.

Balustrades and fencing


• Provide vital separation between people and hazards where access is
not permitted.
• Should provide a visually attractive, semi-transparent, and functional system.
Fencing can provide a discreet barrier between hazards, such as between two
opposite platforms, to promote safe alternative access routes via dedicated
crossings or overpasses.
• Fencing should not be installed between the vehicle boarding and alighting space
and the connecting platform, as this can pose a potential hazard by restricting
passengers’ ability to move safely between vehicles and platforms.
• Fencing should be used at a minimum, and only installed where necessary while
still able to promote an open station layout.
• Provide a visually attractive, semi-transparent, and functional system, and be
constructed from materials that are robust, contemporary and easily maintained.
• TransLink’s preference is the use of black coloured fencing to promote a discreet
yet functional station facility.
• All handrails, balustrades and fencing are to comply with applicable Disability
Standards and Australian Standards.

Driver layover amenities/ • May be required depending on the function of the station and services operating
storeroom through the station.
• Where needed, these amenities should be integrated within the station design and
located adjacent to bus holding areas. Driver facilities should be separated from
passenger areas.
• Layover amenities should include: separate male and female toilets, seating
and tables consistent with driver demand, a kitchenette and storeroom
(refer to TransLink for typical inclusions and design layout).
• Should appear as a seamless element within the overall composition of the station.
• Consultation with TransLink is recommended to ascertain requirements for
operational layover bays and driver facilities. TransLink will consult with the
relevant operator to confirm current and forecast requirements.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 49
Chapter 6 – Bus station Infrastructure

Element Consideration

Shelters • Shelters and all facility structures should project a consistent design language that:
–– appears modern, light and spacious
–– is of a high quality and standard
–– is reflective of the Queensland sub-tropical climate
–– is reflective of TransLink’s infrastructure theming and architectural design.
• Structures at platforms must be cantilevered to provide an unobstructed kerb-line
(free from posts or other structural supports) and can be single or double-sided
cantilever, depending on platform layout.
• Structures must provide complete weather protection during all parts of the day.
• Passenger information displays, signage and way-finding can be attached to the
cantilevered structure providing they do not obscure sightlines.
• Shelter structures should include high-quality finishes with modern, durable,
and easily maintained materials that are reflective of the overall station
environment and climatic conditions (that is, sun, rain, natural light and airflow).
• Examples of these materials include stainless and/or epoxy-painted hot-dipped
galvanised steel, glazing, perforated or woven metal and aluminium.
• Liaise with TransLink on the design and specification of existing bus station
shelters that are currently installed and in use throughout the network.

Ticketing and public • Both ticketing and information amenities should be integrated within the design
transport information of the station structure and environment, and in locations that do not impede free
flowing access paths and walkways.
• Fare machines (such as AVVMs) issue TransLink's integrated transport
fares/tickets for use on buses, trains and ferries.
• Stations should have options for customers to purchase paper tickets and
to validate electronic go cards.
• Locate fare machines close to entrance points or nominated boarding points taking
into consideration the sequence of movement and paid/unpaid areas.
• For bus travel, go card scanning devices are located on-board the bus. Some bus
stations may include manned pre-boarding ticketing facilities or staff.
• Passenger transport information can consist of electronic kiosks and static or real-
time displays. Information should be located in waiting areas and decision points
within the station. Information should include bus timetables, maps, services,
special events etc.
• Electronic information displays should face passengers and be positioned at a
comfortable viewing angle and height. Designers will need to determine the most
suitable quantities and locations for electronic displays.
• The location of ticketing and information amenities must be considered early in
the design phase to incorporate appropriate security surveillance and power and
data requirements.

50 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 6 – Bus station infrastructure

Element Consideration

Cycle storage • Secure cycle storage and amenities are to be included in the design and layout
of all stations.
• Secure cycle storage facilities and cycle rails should be close to station platforms
for a safe and easy transfer to passenger transport.
• Cycle storage must be located in a visually-prominent position within or
immediately adjacent to the station environment, to allow passive surveillance.
• Materials used for these facilities should be secure, transparent, durable, easily
cleaned and resistant to vandalism or abuse.
• The amount of cycle storage provided will be determined by the size and location
of the facility and availability of adjoining cycle access paths.
• Consideration should be given to providing appropriate electrical conduits
for lighting and in preparation for electronic card access and other future
electronic requirements.

For further details on cycle amenities, refer to the PTIM, Supporting


access infrastructure.

Public Toilets • I nclusion of public toilets will depend on the station location, level-of-service,
staffing arrangements, asset management and passenger comfort and safety.
• Toilet amenities must meet Disability Standards and Australian Standards.
• Toilets should be located in visible and practical, yet discreet, locations and
include security requirements.
• Inclusion of toilet amenities must consider construction and installation
requirements within station design, such as plumbing and drainage. Generally,
a storeroom is included in the toilet facility building for storage of cleaning
products and other items needed for station operation and maintenance.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 51
Chapter 6 – Bus station Infrastructure

Element Consideration

Seating and lean rails • Must be provided in quantities reflective of the expected waiting times and levels
of anticipated patronage for the station.
• Seating should be provided at all allocated waiting areas without impeding free
flowing access paths and walkways.
• Less seating may be provided at high-frequency service locations due to minimal
passenger waiting times and high passenger volumes.
• Seating and lean rails should be provided on platforms where passengers can
easily see approaching public transport vehicles, typically where there is complete
weather protection and where the environment is safe and well lit. They are
typically positioned facing the conveyance and either at the rear of the single-sided
platform and shelter or in the centre of a double-sided platform and shelter.
• Seats should include backrests and armrests and be constructed from durable,
easily cleaned and maintained materials that allow drainage from liquids.
• Seating may be cantilevered to a wall or shelter structure to allow easier
platform maintenance.
• All furniture must offer appropriate contrast in colour with the
immediate background.
• Lean rails provide passengers with a convenient waiting option by allowing
passengers to perch or lean, rather than be seated, when waiting for brief periods
or where waiting space is limited.
• Lean rails generally consist of a horizontal beam supported at either end by
vertical posts, or the beam may be attached directly to a wall or station structure.
Horizontal beams should be positioned at a height appropriate for the
average person.

Bins • Rubbish bins should be provided at all stations.


• Bins are generally located close to waiting or congregation areas, seating, information
displays, boarding points, cycle storage areas, and station entries and exits.
• Use of bins at high passenger volume stations, such as regional facilities,
may warrant careful consideration due to potential security risks.
• Bins at particular stations should be designed to allow for detection of suspicious
objects. They may be constructed from materials with an open gauge to provide
transparency (with a transparent clear plastic liner) that is easy to maintain.
• Bin design should aim to be vandal-proof, water-proof and bird-proof. The
provision of recycling bins may also be an option and should be considered during
the facility detailed design phase.
• Recycle bins may be incorporated adjacent to general waste bins to promote
recycling, with appropriate recycling collection arrangements in place.

Chapter 6 – Bus station infrastructure

Element Consideration

Drinking fountains • Drinking fountains may be provided at stations.


• They are generally located close to waiting or congregation areas, seating,
information displays, cycle storage areas, and station entries and exits.
• Drinking fountains should be constructed from materials that are easy to maintain,
and should include stainless steel water catchment and drainage. Furthermore,
they must be designed to be accessible for people with disabilities.

Shopping trolley bays/ • Where bus stations co-exist with shopping centres or other retail outlets, there may
storage be the requirement to include appropriate, discreet, and easy to maintain shopping
trolley bays or storage within or close to the facility.
• The sitting of shopping trolly facilities needs to take into account potential conflict
between buses and shopping trolley collection vehicles.
• An agreement from the retail outlet to collect shopping trolleys on a regular basis
is also required.

Ancillary services • Key ancillary services can include vending machines, ATMs and other third-party
services not directly concerning passenger transport.
• Should be located in visually prominent locations, but not impede a passenger’s
ability to access and move through the station.
• Inclusion and location of these services will depend on agreement with third-
party stakeholders, station asset management and station designers, and will be
determined on a site-specific basis.
• Consideration should be given to the consolidation of ancillary services to reduce
visual clutter and to provide a more integrated service for passengers. Generally,
these facilities are positioned close to other passenger services such as fare
machines, information displays and emergency call points.
• Materials used for ancillary services should be consistent with other passenger
facilities to achieve a visually integrated suite of services. Ancillary services should
be considered early in the detailed design phase to incorporate relevant security,
monitoring, power and data requirements.

Intelligent Transport • ITS functionality should be considered for all public transport facilities within
System (ITS) the context of the broader TransLink network and include security cameras, real-
time information, public address systems, incident management systems, and
monitoring and communications systems.
• ITS hardware and connection points are typically located in a communications room
within the overall facility. These ITS or communications control rooms may adjoin other
facilities within the station, such as toilets or storerooms. They should be located in
discreet locations within the facility environment, not impede public spaces or free
flowing pedestrian access to the station, and be generally signed as ‘staff only’.
• The specific installation (including power, conduits and security) and asset
management schedule requirements for the inclusion of the ITS at each facility
should be investigated on a site-specific basis prior to detailed design.
Specialist ITS personnel should be commissioned when designing the ITS
within the station environment.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 53
Chapter 6 – Bus station Infrastructure

Element Consideration

Public address system • A public address system should be integrated into the design of all station
facilities. The aim is to provide a robust, functional and visually discreet system
that can provide communicative information and be linked to the security system
for warning in the event of an emergency.
• The public address system is to be clearly audible and reverberate throughout
the passenger waiting areas. Loudspeakers for the system should be distributed
appropriately throughout the station and may be wall or ceiling mounted,
depending on acoustic requirements. Speaker units should be mounted at an
appropriate distance away from direct reach, or sit flush with station structures,
to minimise potential vandalism and damage.
• The possibility of background noise affecting the audibility of the address system
should be treated with appropriate acoustic absorption techniques. Loudspeakers
for the system should be distributed appropriately throughout the station.
• Hearing augmentation or hearing loops should be included and linked
with the public address and emergency systems to assist persons with
hearing impairments.

Security • Security infrastructure refers to security cameras and other items used for the
creation of safe and well-monitored waiting environments.
• Details on the specifications and management schedules for these systems will be
established in collaboration with the facility owner and/or asset manager.
• Appropriate construction and installation requirements must be considered when
planning for the inclusion of security infrastructure. The use of signage informing
people of the presence of security infrastructure within a facility can further
enhance personal safety, and highlight the perceived risk of detection to
potential offenders.
• Security help points are typically located in the centre of platforms or other
key waiting areas. Ultimately, the location of all these elements should be the
subject of station specific design, as each site is likely to have a range of differing
sightlines and movement patterns.
• Counter-terrorism design considerations should be explored where possible on
a site-specific basis, depending on station location, level-of-service and potential
security risk. Where applicable, station design should strive towards universal
standards for security and counter-terrorism measures. Liaise with the Emergency
Management and Transport Security division in the Department for advice on
including security and counter-terrorism measures at the earliest phase in the
station planning.

54 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 6 – Bus station infrastructure

Element Consideration

Lighting • Ambient lighting is to be provided for a safe, comfortable and functional station.
• Feature lighting may highlight architectural features.
• For day-time use, consider translucent materials to allow natural lighting.
• For night-time, bright white artificial lighting should ensure a safe and visually
attractive environment.
• High quality light fixtures and fittings should be robust, tamper-proof, discreet
and complement the station environment.
• Use of common fixtures will improve maintenance and lower ongoing costs.
• Provide lighting on pedestrian areas, roadways and station information.
• Lighting at bus stations must comply with the applicable requirements of lighting
subcategory P6 within AS/NZ 1158.3.1 – Lighting for roads and public spaces.
• For additional disability compliance lighting requirements refer to the Disability
Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (DSAPT).

Graffiti deterrents and • All infrastructure components—furniture, lighting equipment, timetable and
treatments information devices, walls, floors, ceilings, balustrades, glass panels, screens,
elevators, escalators and other components—coming into contact with passengers
must be resistant to acts of vandalism and graffiti. This may involve components
being applied with anti-graffiti coatings or constructed from non-porous graffiti-
resistant materials.
• The design and arrangement of platforms and structures should maximise natural
surveillance in order to minimise the incidence of graffiti and anti-social behaviour.
• In some instances, vegetation may be planted adjacent to structures or walls
to prevent access by vandals.
• The use of appropriate colours or artwork that complements the station architecture
and theming can also deter graffiti.

Animal and pest problems • Within the station there must be minimal horizontal ledges, overhangs,
or concealed spaces where birds and animals are tempted to perch, nest
and pollute the station facility.
• If cavities and horizontal surfaces are unavoidable, then appropriate measures are
to be used to prevent animals and pests congregating and/or nesting. This can
include designing ledges of structures to be angled (approximately 45 degrees or
greater) to make it uncomfortable for birds to perch.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 55
Chapter 6 – Bus station Infrastructure

Element Consideration

Landscape Treatment • Landscape treatment is to be incorporated (where appropriate) to complement


the station architecture, enhance the identification of a particular location, and
integrate the facility with the surrounding environment. It is preferred that plantings
used for landscaping are:
–– drought resistant
–– consistent with the surrounding natural environment (for example, local flora)
–– unlikely to intrude upon the integrity of the station environment
–– unlikely to interfere with above and below ground services and utilities
–– not toxic, highly allergenic or noxious weeds
–– not known to produce thorns, barbs, stings or noxious secretions
–– not inhibiting sightlines, passive surveillance or allowing for potential
offenders to hide.

Commercial opportunities • Commercial opportunities are typically developed and operated by external
companies under an agreed arrangement.
• It may be appropriate to incorporate:
–– vending machines
–– commercial advertising
–– retail outlets, such as cafes, coffee carts, newsagents and convenience stores.
• Endorsement of commercial facilities is required prior to detailed design to make
allowance for space, power, data and conduits for installation.

Other enhancements rtwork can enhance a station identity and cultural significance of a place,
• A
and should be investigated where appropriate.
• Public art should not conflict with station architecture, colour schemes,
branding and access requirements.
• Wireless internet access options and connections may be investigated
and incorporated.
• The facility owner and/or asset manager, along with relevant stakeholders,
should endorse all enhancements prior to the detailed design stage of the facility.

7.3.2.2 Limousine services


A limousine service is an unscheduled
passenger service provided by a luxury motor
vehicle operating under a limousine service
licence. The journey must be pre-booked and
the fare agreed to before the journey begins.

The Transport Operations (Road Use


Management – Road Rules) Regulation 2009
includes a limousine in the definition of taxi;
however the use of taxi ranks by limousines
is prohibited under the Transport Operations
(Passenger Transport) Regulation 2005.

Specifically:
• a limousine for hire must not ply
or stand at a place unless the place
is the limousine owner’s premises
or a limousine standing area or
limousine rank
• a limousine standing area is a place
approved by the department as a place
where limousines may stand while waiting
to attend a booking made earlier
• a limousine rank is a place approved
by the department as a place where
limousines may stand for hire to set
destinations or areas for set fares.

2 The Australian Taxi Industry Association (ATIA) recommends that the general acceptable standard practice for taxi rank location is a
maximum 400 metres walking distance to a major venue entrance and exit. This distance equates to approximately a five-minute walking
journey, which is a maximum distance that most people will find acceptable, however this distance may also depend on weather,
topography and other characteristics.

Passenger demand also varies between locations,

conditions, school and school holiday times, and peak

entertainment venues, passenger demand could be

and timetables.

be less predictable. TransLink supports liasing with, for
example, shopping centre management where they can
assist with understanding demand profiles.

Chapter 7 – Taxi facilities

7.4.7 Dwell time


The second key factor in determining taxi rank capacity
is taxi dwell time (that is, how long a taxi might spend
at a rank). This, of course, has a direct relationship
with demand. In peak demand periods this might only
be a minute or so. In other times a taxi might wait for
extended periods. The need to be commercially viable
will influence the latter dwell-time profile.

The ATIA Taxi Rank Design Specification (2012) suggests


a reasonable assumption of a taxi dwell time during
the peak hour of 10 minutes at a busy rank. However
this should be used with caution, as every site will have
specific characteristics such as:
• taxi licence area
• location of facility
• number of taxis in licence area.

7.4.8 Number of taxi bays


In establishing the number of taxi bays required
for a development there are two deciding factors:
• peak passenger demand and taxi arrival rate, or
• taxi dwell time and taxi arrival rate.

The larger of the two numbers should be adopted as the


required capacity of the taxi rank.

growth requirements.
Table 7.1:
Functional design elements for taxi facilities

Design element Considerations

Designing for vehicle needs Taxis need to be able to stand and pull away from the taxi rank in a safe manner
and have easy ingress and egress to and from the rank. When designing taxi ranks,
the following vehicle needs should be considered:
• The most suitable location is parallel to the kerb, allowing taxis at the head
of the queue to exit easily and for other taxis to move forward.
• Adequate room to access and egress the taxi, including enough space allocated
for luggage to be loaded from the rear of the taxi.
• Adequate vehicle swept paths for the largest-sized taxi anticipated at the facility
(taxi accommodating persons with a disability).
• Design should allow taxis to move in a forward direction at all times
(no reverse movements).
• Ingress and egress routes should cater for the main direction taxis would be
expected to transport passengers to and from the rank. If the direction of the taxi
rank is opposite to the predominant direction, provide safe u-turn facilities for
taxis or a rank on the opposite side of the road with pedestrian access.
• Areas with high taxi demands in a compressed time (for example, airports) may
need a feeder rank and/or taxi holding facility.
• The minimum length of a taxi rank is specified in AS2890.5-1993 Parking facilities
as (5.4n + 1) metres where n is the number of taxis to be accommodated.
• TransLink suggests that the minimum height clearance on taxi routes and
facilities (primarily a concern under buildings or other infrastructure) is at a
minimum height of 2.3m with a suggested preferred minimum of 2.6m to allow
for wheelchair accessible taxis.
• Avoid conflict with pedestrian, cyclist and other traffic.

12 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 7 – Taxi facilities

Design element Considerations

Passenger and driver safety To ensure safe operation the following needs to be considered:
• Driver and waiting customers need to have clear visibility to each other.
• Maintain clear visibility around the taxi rank (that is, away from dense foliage and
other objects that obstruct direct sightlines) and adhere to CPTED principles.
• Locate the ranks on the left-hand side of the road to facilitate safer loading
of passengers and increase driver security5.
• Locate ranks where footpath widths are sufficient to accommodate passenger
waiting and passing pedestrian traffic, or where footpaths can be easily widened.

Passenger facilities Passenger waiting areas need to consider:


at the rank • Waiting, queuing and boarding areas for passengers.
• Signage6 at the head of the vehicle queue stating it is a taxi rank (could include
operating hours, the location of other nearby ranks, and telephone numbers
of taxi companies serving the rank).
• Pedestrian footpaths adjacent to the taxi rank should provide clear space
allowing adequate width for waiting passengers and passing pedestrians.
• Safe and convenient pedestrian access to the taxi rank clear of immovable
objects that hinder passengers boarding taxis.
• Kerbs adjacent to the taxi rank should be flush to assist passengers, including
those with disabilities, the elderly or frail, to easily access taxis.
• Passenger queuing facilities may be needed at higher demand areas and should
be designed to ensure passengers at the back of the queue cannot enter taxis
from the rear of the rank (queue).
• Weather protection should be considered at taxi ranks on a case-by-case basis.
Considerations should include frequency of taxi service (for example, more
than 30 passenger pick ups per day), nearby land use (for example, transport
interchange, or aged care facility) and existing nearby shelter (for example,
building awnings).
• Priority seating for users such as the elderly or frail, expectant mothers,
parents with young children, and people with disabilities should be provided
where appropriate.

Signage and way-finding • In areas where it is not obvious that taxis ranks are provided, directional signage
should be provided.
• At transport interchanges and major facilities, such as shopping centres and
airports, it is recommended that directional signage be installed within the
facility to direct pedestrians to where a rank is located. Signage could also
include information on walking distance and rank operating hours.

Refer to the PTIM, Branding, Theming and Signage chapter for further details
on signage.

Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016 13
Chapter 7 – Taxi facilities

Design element Considerations

Provision for Taxi facilities (including access paths, manoeuvring areas, ramps, waiting areas
disability access and surfaces) must comply with the requirements of the Disability Standards and
relevant Australian Standards.

When designing taxi ranks the following should be applied:


• space for at least one wheelchair accessible taxi (WAT) located at the front
of the queue. The length of WAT spaces is to be 7.8m7, with appropriate road line
marking and signage to designate this space for a WAT.
• where a taxi rank is more than four spaces (including the WAT space), an
additional WAT space is to be provided at the end of the first four spaces.
This pattern should be repeated for every four additional spaces.
• other functional design elements to be incorporated include:
–– TGSI to direct vision-impaired passengers to the head of the rank
–– facilities designed at-grade (no kerb) to eliminate the need for kerb ramps
–– signage information accessible for people who are blind or have
a vision impairment
–– where kerb ramps are included for wheelchair access requirements, these
shall be located at the rear of a designated WAT space
–– in very high volume sites, such as airports or sporting venues, where
a passenger queuing fence is installed, access to the front of the queue
to access the WAT space is to be provided.

Technical guidance regarding the location and placement of TGSI is provided


in AS/NZS 1428 4 Designing for access and mobility.

14 Public Transport Infrastructure Manual, Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2016
Chapter 7 – Taxi facilities

Design element Considerations

Security and safety Site-specific needs will determine security requirements. Some general
considerations include:
• locate the facility at the hub of pedestrian activity for passive surveillance.
• at passenger transport hubs, locate the facility adjacent to the station platforms.
Consider lighting and security cameras provisions for the facility as part of station
design. Requirements for lighting of public areas are outlined in AS/NZS 1158
Lighting for roads and public spaces.
• locate facility so taxi passengers are generally not required to cross a road,
especially at night.
• taxi facilities with high use for late night travel may need to be established as
‘secure’ taxi ranks (usually Friday and Saturday nights and special events such
as New Year’s Eve). These ranks could include:
–– taxi rank marshalls and security guards to supervise passengers to queue
in an environment that is free from unruly and inappropriate behaviour
–– an organised supply of taxis to the rank to meet demand
–– management of the flow of passengers and organisation of share rides
as required
–– answers to customer queries about routes and fares
–– security camera surveillance.

4 Refer to the relevant Australian Standard as referenced in the Transport Standards (AS 1428.4-2002 Designing for access and mobility -
Tactile indicators) or the Premises Standard (AS/NZS 1428.4.1-2009 Design for access and mobility - Means to assist the orientation of
people with vision impairment - Tactile ground surface indicators) as applicable.

5 Locating ranks on the left hand side ensures passengers can access the front seat of the taxi from the footpath. It is also generally accepted
that taxi drivers, for their personal safety, do not want passengers sitting directly behind them out of sight – particularly if there is just one
passenger. It is preferable for a single passenger to occupy either the front seat or, if in the back, to be diagonally opposite the driver.

6 Queensland Road Rules section 182 requires all taxi ranks to have a Taxi Zone sign (R5-21 as described in AS 1742.11 Manual of uniform
traffic control devices: Part 11: Parking controls) located at the head of the taxi rank queue.
