One thing never stressed enough and hardly mentioned at all, is the line of sight from the bus stop to oncoming buses. Too many times, there are things in the way between where one would stand or sit at the stop to oncoming traffic. This might seem trivial but as a bus user, I think it's crucial.
Especially considering that one has to wait sometimes up to one hour for the bus, one needs to be able to see it coming, rather than having 2 seconds to then madly scramble for it when it comes into sight.
Case in point, this bus stop in Sri Hartamas. As usual, the sidewalks are LITTERED with advertising and junk. DBKL and the other local authorities, in authorising permits for these advertisements, should ensure that they don't block the view at bus stops. In this case, it was the advertising for a Lil' Ones Montessori kindergarten blocking the view for bus users.
On another note, they should also ensure that these banners don't obstruct foot traffic. Although it doesn't happen in this particular case, all too often one has to navigate around junction boxes, signs, or try to avoid banging one's face into the horizontal wooden bars holding advertising banners.
