Bus shelters

The modal development of urban transport is leading local authorities to offer public transport users new waiting areas on the public roadway. Procity bus stop shelters for local authorities are an effective response to the challenges posed by these new travel policies and the development of walkways and pavements.
Our urban equipment for travellers comes in a wide range of designs and functional configurations to fit harmoniously into any environment. Above all, they offer city dwellers comfortable and secure bus shelters while they wait for public transport.

Our wide range of steel-framed bus shelters, with variable lengths available and modular capacity to suit bus stops, are manufactured in our factories in France to the highest professional standards. This gives the Procity bus shelter many advantages when it comes to creating an effective bus stop area:

  • High reliability and superior resistance to the weather, break-ins and vandalism that can occur in public or urban spaces.
  • A sleek, modern design that can be coordinated with existing street furniture or our other lines of street furniture for roads and outdoor spaces. For example, the special street furniture for schools and the school bus shelter. We offer a wide choice of finishes and RAL colours.
    Our collections of bus shelters can be easily integrated into any urban development project and into all existing urban and rural facilities.
  • Customisable options for each bus stop shelter: LED lighting, signage, information or advertising displays, perch seats, benches, litter bins, totem poles and stop signs, display panels, etc. Our community bus shelters are an essential urban amenity for public transport users, offering a sustainable urban development solution that enhances public space. And they provide shelter for all passengers, with the emphasis on user comfort and safety.

Take a look at our bus shelter from the "Venice" collection of designer street furniture. It has a cantilevered design, with no side reinforcements or side walls, and its toughened safety glass back cladding is held in place by only 2 square posts set into the pavement. This outdoor furniture allows the bus shelter to blend in perfectly with its urban or rural surroundings, thanks to its low footprint and totally transparent glazing.

Designing durable public transport infrastructure

A bus shelter must balance passenger comfort with durability.

  • Weather Protection: Given the UK climate, deep canopies and side cladding are essential to protect against driving rain and wind.
  • Vandalism Resistance: We use tempered safety glass (standard for visibility) or high-impact polycarbonate (for areas prone to breakage).
  • Modularity: Our shelters are modular. You can start with a standard 2.5m unit and extend it indefinitely using extension modules to accommodate high footfall areas like school hubs or city interchanges.
Customisation & revenue generation

Turn infrastructure into an asset. Many of our shelters (like the Businova or Conviviale) can be fitted with illuminated advertising boxes (6-sheet size). This allows councils to generate revenue or display community information. Additionally, integrated seating and timetable cases are standard options to enhance the user experience.

FAQ

Can these shelters be used for purposes other than bus stops?

Yes. While designed for buses, our shelters are frequently used as waiting areas for tram stops, parent waiting shelters at schools, or general covered walkways in hospitals and business parks.

What glazing options are available ?

We typically offer Toughened Safety Glass (highly scratch-resistant and shatters safely if broken) and Polycarbonate (virtually unbreakable but can scratch/haze over time). The choice depends on the balance between aesthetics and vandalism risk in your specific location.

Are the shelters compliant with disability access (ADA/Equality Act) ?

Our shelters are designed with accessibility in mind. By installing the shelter with an open front and ensuring the seating leaves adequate maneuvering space for wheelchairs, they support compliance with UK accessibility guidelines.

How do you prevent corrosion on steel shelters ?

All our steel structures undergo hot-dip galvanising followed by a polyester powder coating. This dual-layer protection is the industry standard in the UK for preventing rust, even in coastal areas with salty air.

Do you offer solar lighting for bus shelters ?

Yes, we offer autonomous LED lighting kits powered by solar panels. This is a cost-effective solution for rural bus stops where connecting to the main power grid would be prohibitively expensive.
