Notice the Duck Out located at this stop.
 

bump out at stop

This is an example of a bump- out.  Notice the vehicle parked in front of the stop.

This stop shows one of the ways that transit districts have tried to make it easier for the visually impaired to find their stops.  In this case a small sign with both raised letters and Braille have been added to a standard pole.  Other districts use types of poles that are not normally used by other agencies to mount signs.  Now this isn't to effective in the stop on the left since the passengers have to fight their way through blackberry bushes to get to the pole.

new rack at stop

This stop has a Newspaper Rack located at it.
 

Tempe, AZ provides drinking fountains at some of their stops.  When I was there in April, 2000 it was 100 F+ most days.

Some districts do provide clocks at the stops so the passengers will know what time it is.
