After 11 months of construction, Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT)’s redevelopment of Partick Bus Station is now complete and open to the public.
The number of stances has increased by 20% to accommodate increased bus patronage associated with the opening of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
The bus stances provide high-quality waiting space that fully integrates lighting, CCTV, seating, and customer information technology.
With their cantilevered roof form and curved glass ends, the stances add an attractive and prominent presence within their context, representing the commitment shown by SPT to invest in the creation of a high quality of environment to meet today’s passenger expectations and encourage bus travel as a main transport mode in the west of Scotland.
SPT Senior Director Charles Hoskins says: “Partick Interchange is an important integrated transport hub for West Glasgow serving one of Scotland’s busiest and most densely populated areas. SPT investment in Partick and the new facilities will significantly improve the bus passenger experience.
“The introduction of bespoke high-quality shelters providing proper protection from the weather, real time passenger information displays, CCTV, and improved LED lighting as well as better provision for wheelchairs with high kerbs offering level entry to the buses, makes the station much more attractive and accessible to the whole community.”
